Bob Downes Open Music Trio: Flashback
by Roger Farbey
Bob Downes may be a name unfamiliar to many, but to some his name is synonymous with an electrifying period in British jazz. Downes was on the cusp of this new movement and recorded some idiosyncratic albums between 1969 and 1970. Deep Down Heavy was almost a rock album, whereas the as yet un-reissued Open Music ...

by Clifford Allen
Solidarity Unit, Inc. Red Black & Green Eremite 2009 Though it certainly had an impact on the landscape of creative music in the 1970s and 1980s as well as it does today, the vanguard improvisation scene in St. Louis isn't as discussed as it should be. The Black Artists Group ...

Ray Russell Quartet: Turn Circle
by Roger Farbey
Vocalion has done it again, with a long overdue reissue of Ray Russell's first album Turn Circle (originally released in on the CBS Realm series), and superbly remastered by Michael J. Dutton. Russell is probably the most heinously undervalued jazz guitarist in the world, which is ironic because he is undoubtedly one of the best. His ...

Ray Russell: June 11, 1971 - Live at the ICA
by AAJ Italy Staff
L’edizione in vinile di questo album è praticamente introvabile da tantissimi anni e solo il passaparola fra musicisti ha fatto in modo di mantenerne viva la memoria, al punto da convincere Alan Licht e Jim O’Rourke che erano maturi i tempi per una riedizione ampliata su CD che la piccolissima etichetta americana Moikai ha pubblicato nel ...
Ray Russell: Goodbye Svengali
by Ty Cumbie
Heavy chops and slick production values are the dominant traits of this recording by British guitar wizard Ray Russell. While offering due tribute to the guitar master's powers, I would have liked to have heard more ideas and fewer effects. Russell was called up from the minors near the time fusion was starting ...
Ray Russell: Goodbye Svengali
by David Miller
Ray Russell is an eclectic. From rock to free jazz, fusion and pop, the guitarist has done it all. His newest effort, Goodbye Svengali, a tribute to a like-minded spirit (Gil Evans), highlights Russell's eclecticism. Nearly all of the aforementioned ground is covered, and Russell is in rare form throughout. Structuring this recording as a tribute ...
Ray Russell: Goodbye Svengali
by John Kelman
If you haven't been closely following the British jazz scene, you likely won't have heard of guitarist Ray Russell. In some ways he's simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. All too briefly replacing Chris Spedding in trumpeter Ian Carr's Nucleus, his more forward-thinking playing with that seminal jazz/rock outfit has only come ...
