The Hal Russell Story. Linton Chiswick offers an introduction to one of contemporary jazz's hidden treasures. Born in the same year as John Coltrane and Miles Davis , multi-instrumentalist Hal Russell played drums with both in the early 1950s before spearheading Chicago's free jazz scene with the Joe Daley Trio. Revered as a drummer and vibes player Russell took up the saxophone at the age of 50 and began playing like his hero Albert Ayler. With contributions from record producer Steve Lake and saxophonist Mars Williams. Producer Steve Shepherd
