New Direction (Vinyl)

New Direction (Vinyl)The seminal New Direction was the first album that pianist Gene Russell released on the legendary Black Jazz label that he established in 1971. Backed by a band that included double bassist Henry Franklin and drummer Steve Clover, Russell nestles into slow blues, rattles through forceful Latin grooves and even puts a new slant on Stevie Wonders My Cherie Amour. With this album and the rest of Black Jazzs small output, Russell helped redefine soul jazz.
