 (Another) Unsung Dance Music Genius Rediscovered. Despite coming over as some hip retrospective of another late 70s/early 80s producer, this CD has occasional pockets of freedom, intimacy and colour. Cellist Arthur Russell beguiled an NYC music scene by cajoling traditional Philadelphia/R&B session players into performing spontaneous avant-garde funk. In doing so Russell created a legacy of string drones, dulcet croons and chaotic, lurching rhythms. Whereas commercial tracks on this compilation appear weak and dated, others stand out as being rapturous, open and beautiful. (7/10) James Rutledge 16 January 04 Arthur Russell – The World Of Arthur Russell, released 19 January 04 on Soul Jazz. useful link: www.souljazzrecords.co.uk The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites. conversations
