mjazzg Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Д.Д. Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share 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.
