Ask Me Now!

Pee Wee Russell's clarinet voice was unlike anyone else's in jazz—sometimes almost voice-like in its expressiveness, sometimes veering into angular abstraction, always distinctive. This recording pairs Russell with Marshall Brown's trombone in post-bop territory, exploring harmonic and melodic ground that keeps you listening. The two horns trade ideas back and forth, and there's real conversation happening, but the music never loses sight of swing and melody. Russell was one of those musicians who stayed curious and adventurous throughout his career, restless about where jazz could go. This limited release from Verve and Impulse! is an important document of that musical personality. If you've heard Russell's work with others and want to dig deeper into his own musical thinking, this is genuinely rewarding. It's the kind of session where the musicians are clearly enjoying figuring things out together.
