George Russell's "It's About Time - Excerpt" (1997)
Happy George Russell 100th (June 23) 🎂 He was my mentor since I arrived in the US. I worked for him for 20 years. He was a genius. This song ...is an excerpt from "It's About Time" (1997). He wrote this for his wife, Alice. As far as I know, this is the only Bossa Nova he wrote. It's an amazingly beautiful piece. His lines don't go with the known chord scales, which makes everything so special. Check out the entire suite. The section that comes after this is so powerful. We played this live on every tour. 今日は我が師、ジョージ・ラッセルの100年記念日 🎉 この美しい曲は彼の1997年作品「It's About Time」からの抜粋です。楽理のコードスケール理論と違った彼のメロディーのマジックをお楽しみ下さい。
