River by Robert Russell Trio

“River” is the debut Album of the Robert Russell Trio. Their original
mix of jazz, electric, and folk music is one of a kind. It was
professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered in Bangladesh, India,
and the USA, in collaboration with incredible musicians from all over
the world to create an unforgettable experience.
 
Rivers are the life source of the Bangladeshi people and Bangladesh
is a riverine country that lies within the Ganges Delta system - the
biggest river delta in the world. According to historical records,
Bangladesh has relied on 700 flowing rivers for trade, irrigation, fish
farming, and environmental sustenance. 

Sadly today there are approximately only 300 rivers that flow through
Bangladesh during the monsoon season with 17 rivers on the verge
of extinction. 54 rivers flow directly from India and 3 flow from
Myanmar. 

The impact of global warming and environmental change is having an
adverse effect on the lives of millions of people who rely on rivers
every day for survival. 
 
This album is a musical celebration of the mighty 24,140 kilometers of
rivers and tributaries that flow through this beautiful country.
