about

As indicated in the title, this is the second album with recordings of Micho Russell, made on his trips to Norway in 1978. The first album released in 2018, was recorded during a concert in Vinstra.
This album contains recordings from a few private sessions. Micho was extremely generous with teaching his tunes to others, and this was obviusly one of his favorite social activites.
What is termed ‘private sessions’ here, was actually ordinary come-togethers, that, as usual with Micho, soon was transformed into a session where we were taught as many tunes as we could manage during the time available. As you can hear on some of the tracks, when teaching tunes, Micho usually played through in slow tempo first, and then in normal tempo immediately after.
