A Table Near The Band

The Montreux Jazz Festival is one of the world's greatest annual jazz events. Play there a dozen times and it is still a great experience. Ray and his guitar are regular participants in the event but he is always inspired to write something new for the occassion, "I find it very motivating being there with some of the greatest performers in the world".

Montreux 1988 was one of the finest years for Ray, who had assembled one of those bands a composer/ musician usually only dreams about; combing the fluid keyboard lines of Tony Hymas and Tommy Eyre with the sparkling trumpet of Stuart Brookes, backed by the taut rhythms of Mo Foster's bass and Simon Phillips on drums. The two nights were a highlight of the festival and a milestone in Russell's career. It was clear tht the new material written by Ray and the chemistry between the musicians had to be captured on record.

Similarly another highlight of 1988 needed preserving and exposing to a wider audience. Earlier that year Ray and Gil Evans had recorded together at RPM studios in New York. A couple of years playing with Gil's band had created a bond which resulted in some inspired jamming between the two friends. Rough and ragged, they were incomplete but exciting and too good to sit on the tape store shelves.

With such treasures in his vaults it was clear that Ray had to release this album. The 1988 Montreux band is enhanced by the saxaphones of Iain Ballamy and Tony Roberts and, of course, by the late Gil Evans, whole "London" is "Revisited" and reworked as testimony to the musical bond between the two musicians. "Snow" is an additional gem written by Ray for the soundtrack of the film "Colorado".

And at the centre of "A Table Near the Band" is Ray Russell himself, whose lucrid fusion of jazz and rock guitar is, he claims, merely a part of the band - his own contribution to the magic which brings his compositions to life.

Neville Farmer, 1990
