ARTHUR RUSSELL was an amazing Cellist, producer and composer who provided the New York Underground in American Disco with an array of spectacular and very experimental recordings. He was never properly recognized and celebrated, at least until after his early death due to illness. This show begins with some of his rare country and folk recordings before jumping into a selection of his Disco.
ARTHUR RUSSELL's music was more than just experimental; it was jazzy, punky and gay at times. During the turbulence of the 1980's, his approach became somewhat popular outside of the New York underground, influencing the developing House Music and Acid Jazz genres.
