Kenny interviews legendary session musician Russell George. Together they run through much of Russell's career; from early tours with jazz greats like Pee Wee Russell, Kai Winding & Marian McPartland; to his immense oeuvre of session work with folks like Frank Sinatra, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Paul Simon and even James Brown. Russell's had the fullest of lives, and is a fascinating storyteller. While listening, you can click here to visit our podcast and see images of Russell that go with some of the stories.
