The music of the Studio Ghibli films has long captivated audiences with its emotional depth and lyrical beauty. In this program, the timeless compositions of Joe Hisaishi are reimagined for a jazz piano trio (piano, double bass, and drums), blending familiar melodies with jazz elements, improvisation, and intimate trio interplay. Featuring beloved themes from Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro and many more, the trio honours the spirit of the originals while inviting listeners into a new world of rhythm, harmony and boundless imagination. 


Russell's virtuosic capabilities are underpinned by a glorious tone and touch at the keyboard as well as a formidable knowledge and grasp of a diverse repertoire. An uncommonly gifted artist.
