ray russell live at the ICA

See Marcello discussing Bill Fay upthread. Gary Windo also on some Robert Wyatt stuff.

There's a recording of him with Nucleus on the Live in Bremen set from 1971. I think he only played the one tour with them since Chris Spedding had just left, is that when he started playing with Pete Brown?
Anyway the cd's in the 2014 rermegacorp sale for £5. Hoping I have a copy coming.

Ray Russell on Antiques Roadshow right now, with a fretless guitar once owned by George Harrison... worth up to £400,000!

.. given to him by George Harrison.

from the Gil Evans thread:
Playing this one in the office this AM,

Really fantastic and fun... I need to dig into Gil quite a bit more than I have thus far.

oh yeah, and that reminds me, always liked The British Orchestra, with Ray Russell soloing on "Little Wing," and a lot of other UK musos I hadn't heard---story of that British tour, also subsequent DVD of Gil w Russell's group at Montreux! https://stuartnicholson.uk/gil-evans-the-british-orchestra-classic-modern-albums/

The reporting of this has been very coy about using Ray Russell's name - I assume on instruction. Also typical of the BBC not to release the full clip.
