Whatever way you look at it, guitarist Ray Russell has had an incredible musical career. He’s one of a new generation of guitarists who started out in the 1960s influenced by jazz, rock, and the blues (other notable members of this club include John Etheridge, Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin). Ray’s big break came at fifteen, when he joined The John Barry Seven.He’s played with Gil Evans, Dave Holland, Mo Foster, Simon Phillips, Tony Hymas, Anthony Jackson, Gary Husband, and Nucleus to name but a few jazz artists. Since the late 1960s, he’s released a string of albums under his own name; formed one of the early jazz-rock bands – Rock Workshop – and the band RMS, with Mo Foster and Simon Phillips. He’s played with Graham Bond and Georgie Fame; worked with all four Beatles; David Bowie, Phil Collins, Freddie Mercury, Gary Moore and others; had a long and successful career both as a session musician and a composer of library music and won awards for his TV and film soundtrack work. And we’ve only just scratched the surface.
