Hal RussellHal Russell (1926 - 1992) was an American free jazz musician. He performed mainly on drums and saxophone, but occasionally on trumpet or vibraphone. Russel's fiery music was marked by significant humor, not unlike much of Dutch drummer Han Bennink's output. His music was so accessible that PEOPLE Magazine hailed The Finnish Swiss Tour on ECM as one of its top 5 albums of the year. Cited by some as a missing link between the AACM and later Chicago free jazz, Russell was experiencing greater public awareness before his death. He recorded or performed with Ken Vandermark, Steve Hunt, Kent Kessler, Brian Sandstrom, Mars Williams, and The Flying Luttenbachers. Russell, Hal Russell, Hal Russell, Hal
