Russell Gunn: Ethnomusicology Vol. 4: Live in Atlanta

Read "Ethnomusicology Vol. 4: Live in Atlanta" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

As an alternative to Wynton Marsalis, who steadfastly hangs onto the singular American Jazz Tradition and, granted, eloquently and skillfully keeps it alive through his playing, educating and entrepreneuring, trumpeter Russell Gunn has shown an unerring desire over the course of the past ten years to merge styles into a personal language that asserts jazz as ...

Russell Gunn: Ethnomusicology, Vol. 3

Read "Ethnomusicology,  Vol. 3" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Read "Ethnomusicology, Volume 1" reviewed by Douglas Payne

by Douglas Payne

Few attempts at a jazz and hip hop union have ever been successful or satisfying. Maybe it's one school's inability to understand the other or the problematic potential of getting two such different audiences in the same room. But, somehow, the maverick 28-year-old trumpeter Russell Gunn has made it work with Ethnomusicology, one of the finest ...
