Born in 1905, Bill Russell demonstrated diverse musical interests
from an early age. A contemporary of John Cage, Henry Cowell and
Lou Harrison, his significance as a percussion composer is well
known among aficionados and his work as a musicologist of New
Orleans jazz music is equally acclaimed. He was a major figure in
the revival of interest in the music of that city, notably from his
recordings of trumpet player Bunk Johnson in the 1940s. He became
the first curator of the Tulane Jazz Archives when they were
established in 1958. This is the first full-length book about Bill
Russell's life that is largely 'in his own words'. It is based on
personal interviews conducted with Russell about the diversity of
his life's work, interspersed with views and anecdotes from his
friends and associates written especially for the book, together
with archive material and a wealth of photos. These sources are
woven together to give a portrait of an extremely talented, modest
man who forsook an academic career to become a champion of the
music and musicians of New Orleans.
