about

"Discernment includes guitarist John Russell, who passed away in January 2021. By January 2020, Russell knew that cancer would eventually kill him. Sadly, Covid-19 and the pandemic lockdown meant that he did not get to play much in front of live audiences in his final year, instead appearing electronically, notably in his monthly Mopomoso program. That makes this album one of Russell's last live concert appearances.
Fortunately, he was in the company of saxophonist John Butcher (with whom he first collaborated in the mid '80s) as well as the impressive duo of Lash on bass and Mark Sanderson drums—a well-balanced and mutually compatible quartet.
Across the album's 40 minutes, all four display the individual styles that make them instantly recognizable and skills as improvisers that make the foursome greater than the sum of its parts. The result is first-rate group improvisation."
John Eyles - All About Jazz
