I used to talk to Russell occasionally and one thing that stood out was that wherever he went, anywhere in the world, there were some local guitarists he wanted to check out if he had some extra time. Jimmy Gourley in Paris, Nelson Symonds and Sonny Greenwich in Montreal, Ed Bickert or Reg Schwager in Toronto. "I'm gonna go out and hear some Jimmy Gourley if I get a chance...." Huge ears, constant respect for colleagues.
I had the privilege of seeing him with Ron Carter and Donald Vega in Portland OR last night. You could have heard a pin drop during his solo rendition of Candle Light. So beautiful…such skill and passion.
@@RonCarterBassist Mr. Carter, it was a true privilege, a highlight of my life seeing and hearing you! Thanks so much for your response, and above all thank you for your work that touches my heart in profound ways. Many blessings, -Dana C.
@@chrisscanlon3717 and meaning ...? In the clear, pls. Don t hear a thing wrong. BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX was superb. How about if you compare him to Roy Gaines' s work in tje said ...slide area. O'er PS. GOT ANY footage on Irv Ashby ? Suggest upload if so, very little spread out.
To all the folks trying to guess the name of the other quartet members I guess you never thought to check out the end of the video where they're mentioned in the credits, none of y'all were even close! 😂 Russell Malone - Guitar Rick Germanson - Piano Luke Sellick- Double Bass Neal Smith - Drums
If you every get a chance to talk to him you'll see he's a very down to earth person. My friend for life. Thanks Aaron McCarthy good giving me that opportunity to play with such great musicians. ( Milkshake )
A master. One of his influences had to have been Wes. The warm deep tone is reminiscent of Wes and there is an occasional phrase or chordal voicing that brings Wes to mind, but otherwise his own man.
Just saw him in a break between sets at Chris Jazz Café channel - I was just thrilled by him and had to ask another one in the chat "who was THAT on guitar?". Luckily, he knew the name of the guy... :)
'Live at Lucille's' is a live concert series filmed at the PBS Studios in Knoxville, Tennessee and is a co-production with the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra. There have been broadcasts for a couple of years.
So glad for the gift of his music. Rest well😢🎸
condolences to his family and friends. thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Gone too soon... RIP Russell 💔
Masterful guitar player

when you talk about Greenwich, Bickert and Symonds, these are some of local favorites of a friend of mine who lives i Montreal....

Right on! I was there too. Amazing concert. His version on “my foolish heart” was inspiring also
@@robertjacobs5233 the whole show was mesmerizing. How about that rendition of "You Are My Sunshine"! Moved me to tears. Cheers!

You are amazing maannnn. Thanks for this!
The Jimmy Webb song alone makes this time well spent ....
Love, Love this musician. I first heard him wih Diana Krall and fell in love with his guitar.
One of the greatest sets of ever heard.
As close to Grant Green in modern guitar as it gets but totally "new" Just beautiful. I love the hints of Greens blues and tonality. WOW👈👈👈👈👍👍👍👍
His thumb is always over the 6th string fretboard.... very poor technique

Beautiful. Superior music. The influence of Montgomery and even Joe Pass is present. The best influence.
Maravilloso, sutil, bello sonido, un gran maestro, una expresión profunda sentimental, gran técnica.
I played with Mr Malone at Marko's in Atlanta Georgia in the 1980's
I didnt know this jazz guitarist, Very Good musician.
A master. One of his influences had to have been Wes. The warm deep tone is reminiscent of Wes and there is an occasional phrase or chordal voicing that brings Wes to mind, but otherwise his own man.
Yes, no doubt influenced by Wes Montgomery. I recognize this kind of tone and phrasing from Steve Howe, another great Wes fan.
Russell Malone is the greatest
Too Cool🥰🥰🥰
what class what blues music coming from the bowels of the body
and reaches up to the clouds

So good to see my Boy, Ricky G. still doing his thing.
Great jazz fantastic 👌👌😊🌺❤
still love it!!
Influenced by Benson, Wes and Burrell ..lotta down strokes at this age. Very musical cat.
So Clean!
Yeah!
Did that dude just adjust the bridge height in the middle of a tune? Nice. Also, great playing of course!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💕🎸🎶🎵
excellent
🙌🏾
Someone knows the name of the first song???
🔥🔥
Yeah.
He's fantastic. Where is "Lucille"? And the date?
'Live at Lucille's' is a live concert series filmed at the PBS Studios in Knoxville, Tennessee and is a co-production with the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra. There have been broadcasts for a couple of years.
does anybody know which guitar he is playing? thanks
Too bad more recordings from Lucille's isn't on YT
Could anyone tell me what type of Ibanez archtop he plays on?
Looks like a L5 copy by Ibanez, from the late 1970s. There was some lawsuit over, these guitars being too close to Gibson.
