Extract

George Russell is 80. He is a band-leader. No, Tempo is not doing what everybody else is doing: dumbing down or getting on the bandwagon of cheap popularity. Nor are we in the least affected by the recent decisions of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and their ilk, to try do to jazz what they have been trying to do to classical music: replace musicians with trained dogs. George Russell is one of a very rare company of the most serious musician/misfits, one of the most innovative of jazz composers and theorists.
