R.I.P. George Russell. Thank you for all the beautiful music you gave the world. Without you, there wouldn’t be “Cubano Be, Cubano Bop”, no “Kind Of Blue”, no “Lydian Chromatic Concept Of Tonal Organization”, all what jazz propelled so many miles forward in time and space.
Thanks for all that, Mr. Russell.
Yours sincerely,
Bruno Leicht, a thankful musician, who posted a special obituary at his blog

George put forth the only singular theory about jazz that combined a foundation in history, math, and the tones of music as the occur in nature. He was a great teacher that I had the pleasure of studying with and a primary inspiration for the name “planetmullins.” During his lifetime he fought illness and small mindedness vigorously and his contribution to the way I think will never be far from my heart. RIP George and know your ideas are alive in 2009.

Yes billy taylor busily reads his own compositions while troups blow through. Seriously underrated [not w/ bone players] jimmy cleveland steals the show , thankfully hes on mike . Note Bill evans left arm semi paralyzed that month due to you know what. All reading their arses off. Art farmer had entire books of 4-6 different bands memorized at that time. Russell lovely as ever talking to the unwashed. if America has a future. Wowthigpen swinging then and now ..
