The Trail-Blazer

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

In this fourth programme on American composer George Russell , Ian Carr looks at the early 60s, which began with the album Jazz in the Space Age. Russell then formed a sextet with himself on piano and Eric Dolphy
(alto saxophone and bass clarinet), and their first recording session produced Ezz-thetic, one of the seminal albums of the decade.
Bass player Steve Swallow recalls how it happened.
