Jonathan "Jazz" Russell and the Doc Scanlon Trio
--When he solos, he embraces his instrument and enters a private cocoon, where he conjures sophisticated improvisations on the melodies of jazz standards. -New York Times //
Jonathan Russell is an exciting fourteen-year-old jazz violinist who bridges generational and cultural gaps with improvised jazz. His performances in Europe and throughout the United States at clubs and jazz festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Bohm Jazz Festival in Hungary have earned the respect and praise of seasoned jazz musicians such as Wynton Marsalis, Bucky Pizzarelli and the late Les Paul.
Jonathan will be accompanied by Albany's own Doc Scanlon Trio, known for their hot swing jazz of the 1920s through the 1940s. Their song list includes the great standards of Gershwin, Berlin & Porter, as well as the jazz of Django Reinhardt, Fats Waller and Benny Goodman. This is a versatile trio with a big sound, red hot solos and tight three part harmony vocals.
