Tenor Sax and Electric Piano. Smooth Jazz Ballad.

Artist/producer Charlie Russell, with his infectious melodies and inventive arrangements on tracks like “OV - Outrageous Vibrations", an original tribute to the great Lionel Hampton, and the radio friendly and artistically intriguing smooth jazz feel goes alone ways towards establishing his sound.

There are moments of a cool soulful groove, with his  ride in jazz improvisation, on the track “Break Up On” H “Street", and the ripping funk bass and horn lines found on the track “From The Mist" with its electrically charged guitar solos.

Charlie Russell is a self-taught musician / songwriter / arranger / producer; his recordings are intentionally melodic, giving you this highly enjoyable first look.

Take Me Home

LONDON is a love letter, a confession, and a field recording.
Each track captures a neighbourhood at its own heartbeat — from the chaos of Camden to the calm of Hampstead, from market light in Walthamstow to the ghosts of empire at the Crystal Palace.

Told through soulful vocals, London-folk rhythms, and street-level details, LONDON listens like a day in the city: waking, moving, falling in love, remembering.

It’s not a tourist album — it’s a local one.
Real voices, real streets, the smell of coffee, rain, paint, and pride.

“Sometimes the city smiles and it lets you know.”

File under: Alternative Soul / Indie Folk / Urban Pop
Sounds like: everyday London finding its voice again.

Tom Brown is the master behind the guitar & the production duties (and a little backing vocal, but don't tell him I told you..) Sian crooned lovingly & shook a tupperware container full of risotto rice for percussive effect. Tom & Sian shared the labour of the cocktail-piano sparkles, gliding across the keyboard like Torvill & Dean. We also got our Christmas elf, Adam 'White Christmas' White, to play some bass & jiggle the bell on a santa hat, because we couldn't find anywhere to buy sleigh bells in time.
