John Russell Biography

John Russell is one of the most popular and richest World Leader who was born on August 18, 1792 in England, England, United Kingdom. A member of the Whig Party until 1868 and of the Liberal Party until his death in 1878, Lord John Russell (1st Earl Russell) was a two-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, serving first from 1846 to 1852 and later from 1865 to

1866. In addition, he held the high-ranking political offices of Foreign Secretary and Leader of the Opposition.

He began his first prime ministerial term as the successor to Conservative politician Sir Robert Peel.

John Russell was raised by his paternal grandparents in rural Kent, and his grandfather gave him his first guitar at the age of 11. At school, he taught himself guitar and formed a group to perform his compositions. He discovered free improvisation after King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp suggested that Derek Bailey and Sonny Sharrock were the two musicians doing the most to push the boundaries of the instrument. On moving to London at the age of 17, he quickly became involved with the free improvisation scene, playing at The Little Theatre Club (run by drummer and educator John Stevens), becoming a member of the Musicians’ Co-op and starting to organise concerts. In 1975, he helped co-found the journal Musics. Russell took weekly lessons in conventional technique from Derek Bailey for about a year, then in 1977 he gave up the electric guitar to play the acoustic guitar exclusively.

In the mid-1980s Russell founded the improvised music club Mopomoso with help initially from pianist, trumpeter and composer Chris Burn. The club promoted around 300 regular monthly concerts at the Red Rose Club in London until the venue’s transfer of ownership in January 2008. The club relocated to The Vortex Jazz Club later that same year and its monthly promotions are ongoing.

A member of a prominent Whig family, he was the son of the 6th Duke of Bedford. John Russell’s first marriage, to Adelaide, Lady Ribblesdale, resulted in daughters named Georgiana and Victoria. His later marriage to Lady Frances Anna-Maria Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound produced a daughter named Mary and sons named John, George, and Francis.

While his mature guitar technique inevitably overlaps with that of Derek Bailey, there are important differences. In a review of Analekta (Emanem, 2006) Nate Dorward writes: “Russell’s debt to the instrumental vocabulary of Derek Bailey is clear throughout, especially in his attraction to wide intervals, his resolutely segmented, percussive attack, and his systematic variation of timbre and means of production (open string, fretted, harmonic, behind-the-bridge pling); it’s in subtler matters of pacing and mood that his individuality comes through. He tends to dwell pensively, almost circularly, on chords or motivic cells that Bailey would have brusquely disposed of, and has a very different approach to group playing, preferring to merge into the larger ensemble sound (whatever the size of the group), and play with rather than against or aslant his musical partners.”
