Micho Russell: Rarities and Old Favourites

Bill Ochs has released a new CD of Micho. It is a fantastic collection of tunes with a lovely booklet.


Track 1 features Micho playing Boil the Breakfast Early on a piccolo. His style is wonderful employing cuts to make brilliant little warbles. On the flute and one piccolo tracks I hear breath phrasing as well as a short tongued attack to the beginning of some notes.
Highly recommended. The piccolo track is magic. Recorded by Seamus Ennis with his mobile recording unit in acetate in 1949 for a radio broadcast. In the background one hears a baby crying. It sets one up for the atmosphere of the full recording.
It is available on iTunes and from here
