I remember Hal , he was a let loose type of performer. I studied with him at Columbia College , in his percussion ensemble. We got along so well he allowed me to bring some of my compositions to class for the other musicians to play. Of course , Hal had the lead lines and it was one of the very few times having my music performed that I had a Mentor that actually took a real intrest in my art. I remember Hal asking me if I would like to join the N.R.G. , unfortunately I didn't except . R.I.P. HR
Hey, people... I loved Hal! played with him, recorded some, gave him art, adored his own, and was an avid follower in the '80's.... really miss Hal not on Earth...
Hey thanks for posting this clip. Have you got any concert clips of this band with ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson and Mars Williams? Im a big fan...and of Hal Russell as well. Love to see them if there are any out there.
