Lol Coxhill, John Russell & Pascal Marzan

John Russell got his first guitar in 1965 while living in Kent and began to play in and around London from 1971 onwards.

After studying classical guitar – mainly devoted to the twentieth century repertoire – and teaching guitar in several music schools in Budapest, Hungary and France, Pascal has dedicated himself to free improvisation and the exploration of microtonal tunings of his instrument. His playing has been influenced by his interest in the folk musics of Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
