saw this today. an event of the Millennium Park - Made In Chicago: World Class Jazz event series. 6.30 in the park Thursday, July 31, 2014 NRG Ensemble (Ken Vandermark, Mars Williams, Brian Sandstrom, Kent Kessler, Steve Hunt) The Hal Russell Story A drummer, saxophonist, trumpeter and bandleader, Russell was one of the most colorful, flexible and fiery jazz musicians to ever work in Chicago. His long-running NRG Ensemble was formed in 1980 and became a major influence on the free jazz and improvised music scene led by Ken Vandermark, who often subbed in the group. The original lineup—reedist Mars Williams; bassist, guitarist and trumpeter Brian Sandstrom; bassist Kent Kessler; and drummer Steve Hunt, along with Vandermark—reunites to play the last album they made with Russell: The Hal Russell Story (ECM, 1992), an autobiographical exploration of the leader’s life in music, with actor Michael Mason narrating the story.

Andy Gonzalez on bass, Steve Berrios on drums and Jerry Gonzalez - reminding firmly about his excellence reg this instrument - on percussion really get things going here...... thread inspired Excellent Steve Backer production ! A real favourite of mine. Plus Sam Rivers - what's not to like? I have that on vinyl as well and will dig it out forthwith.. yeah, I was not familiar with Steve Backer but your mention on the RIP thread inspired me to listen to this favorite. I'd also like to like to mention Dick Griffin, Lew Solow and Rodney Jones.

In the West all my favorites made it. Blazers, Warriors, OKC and Memphis In the East only my Bulls and Miami made it. Knicks and Celtics not. I may have to replace Boston with the Wizards next year.

I don't really know, John. I came to Chicago 1990 and think I heard him only once playing wIth AJ in a afterfest jam. iirc he regularly played with Tatsu Aoki and Afifi Phillard in the early 90ies.
