English Fusion Guitarist Ray Russell to Release Now, More Than Ever

English guitar hero Ray Russell has a new album titled Now, More Than Ever that will be available May 21st on the Abstract Logix label. Russell is joined by Anthony Jackson on bass; Jimmy Johnson on Bass; Mo Foster on Bass; George Baldwin on bass; Gary Husband on drums; Ralph Salmins on drums; Jim Watson on keyboards; and Rupert Cobb on trumpet.

Now, More Than Ever is his first solo album in seven years, after his last studio recording, Goodbye, Svengali, a tribute to the late Gil Evans. The album combines jazz fusion, rock power, funk and blues.

The creator of such pioneering and seminal jazz-rock works as 1968’s Turn Circle and 1969’s Dragon Hill, guitarist and composer Russell emerged on a fertile 1960s London music scene as a reputable session musician, along with fellow guitarists John McLaughlin and Jimmy Page.

Russell has numerous recordings to his credit, from small group sessions to soundtrack recordings for movies and TV.
