Curly Russell

Biography

Curly Russell was a significant bassist in the first many years of bebop for he could keep up simply because an accompanist using the rapid tempoes of that time period. Hardly ever really a soloist (definitely not on the amount of an Oscar Pettiford), Russell was a tireless performer who specific in offering a swinging defeat for the business lead voices. After playing a little bit of trombone, Russell turned to bass and he proved helpful professionally from age 18. He was with Don Redman in 1941 and produced his documenting debut in 1943 with Benny Carter’s Orchestra. In 1944 Russell became a member of Dizzy Gillespie’s group and through the following decade he used the who’s who of bop including Charlie Parker (1945, 1948 and 1950), Tadd Dameron (1947-49), Bud Powell, Stan Getz, Pal DeFranco (1952-53) as well as the Artwork Blakey Quintet with Clifford Dark brown (1954). Furthermore, Russell documented with Dexter Gordon, Horace Sterling silver, Coleman Hawkins, Mls Davis and Thelonious Monk amongst others, although not as a head. Through the mid-to-late 1950’s Curly Russell steadily drifted from jazz into tempo and blues, finally falling away from music altogether.

#	Quote
1	I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life.
2	I am crazy for dessert. I eat everything. No one should be denied anything... just don't eat the whole thing.
3	Naps are the key to relieving stress. When you are working on two hours of sleep, the fact that cheese comes on something when you ordered it with no cheese is enough to send you crying under the covers for an hour.
4	Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.
5	Dance has helped me with everything. It was a great foundation for discipline, hard work and, unfortunately, the ever-elusive idea of perfection. It lends itself easily to fight choreography, because that's what it really is. Choreography. And knowing how to move with someone.
6	I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.'
7	I love doing laundry! It's so satisfying. I love the way it smells. I love doing the sheets.
8	Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
9	I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.
10	I want to be able to raise my kid. I was totally being a martyr about it at first, thinking I could totally do it on my own, which I did for a while. I've hired a babysitter before, but as for a full-time caregiver... for a control freak like me, it ain't gonna happen!
11	People still take it really personally. They come up to me at breakfast places like, 'When are you growing your hair back?'
12	People expect all women to react the same to pregnancy. But anyone who's been around pregnant women knows that it's not all cutesy and sweet. You spaz out and you're angry and you have tantrums.
13	Dance is definitely what I love doing much more than anything else.
14	Who knows? Maybe years from now I'll be on a ranch in Colorado with 10 kids. The whole point of life is to experience a little bit of everything, and I think it's better when there are a few surprises thrown in.
15	It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.
16	Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
17	Yeah, I like being on my own. I do. I tend to be a loner, so I'm okay. I'm not okay when I have to be around everyone all the time.
18	People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship.
