John Russell is a leading figure in the British free improvisation scene. He
began playing guitar in 1966 while living in Kent, playing in and around
London from 1971 onwards.
From 1974 his work extended into teaching, broadcasts (radio and television),
touring in the United Kingdom and, ever extensively, in other countries
around the world. He has played with many of the world’s leading improvisers
and his work can be heard on over 50 CDs and albums.
In 1981, he founded QUAQUA, a large bank of improvisers put together in
different combinations for specific projects and, in 1991, he started
Mopomoso an organisation run with the help of volunteers, which among other
things hosts the UK’s longest running concert series featuring improvised
music.
His music draws from all aspects of guitar playing and whilst better known
for his acoustic work he also plays electric with amongst others, FURT,
Thurston Moore, Han Bennink and Evan Parker’s large electro acoustic
ensemble.
2016 marked his 50th year as a musician, 35th year as leader of QUAQUA and
25th year as director of MOPOMOSO. He has recently started a label Weekertoft
with Irish musician Paul G Smyth, the first release a 4 CD boxed set called ‘
Making Rooms’ and featuring music from a highly acclaimed MOPOMOSO 2013 UK
tour.
