mjazzg Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Very sad to hear that John Russell, improvising guitarist and Mopomoso concert series promoter has died. He leaves a huge hole in the London scene. Not sure whether his international profile was very high. Quote

Д.Д. Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Very sad news. A wonderful musician. His trio with Durrant and Butcher, as well as News from the Shed quintet (http://www.emanemdisc.com/E4121.html) recorded some of my favorite music.
