If one were attempting to design a prototype for the quintessential contemporary musician, trumpeter/fluegelhornist/composer Russell Gunn would be an ideal model. Perhaps no other jazz musician's music has crossed so many musical boundaries, has delighted as well as infuriated, has looked so far forward as well as back. Here Russell returns to the HighNote catalog paying homage to the progenitor of contemporary trumpet playing, Miles Davis. With his band of choice, Elektrik Butterfly, Russell fuses past and present into a riveting program which extends the already progressive style of Miles and quite possibly defines the future of jazz.
Russell Gunn
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Acid Jazz, Jazz-Funk, Post-Bop
Trumpeter/multi-instrumentalist Russell Gunn was born and raised in Illinois; weaned on rap, he turned to jazz in his professional pursuits, although hip-hop remained a primary influence on his work. First attracting the attention of critics and audiences through his contributions to Wynton Marsalis' Blood on the Fields, Gunn also backed the likes of Jimmy Heath, Roy Hargrove, James Moody, and R&B hitmaker Maxwell, appearing on the latter's MTV Unplugged session. After a handful of independent releases, he signed to Atlantic to issue the solo Ethnomusicology, Vol. 1 in early 1999. That album was nominated for a Grammy in 2000. Smokingunn followed a year later and, in 2001, Gunn explored more of the same themes as the first volume of Ethnomusicology with Ethnomusicology, Vol. 2. Since that time, Gunn has released two more volumes in his "Ethnomusicology" series, including Ethnomusicology, Vol. 3 and Ethnomusicology, Vol. 4: Live in Atlanta. In 2007, the trumpeter paid homage to fellow St. Louis, IL, native and trumpet icon Miles Davis with Russell Gunn Plays Miles.
