Stratusphunk is an album by George Russell originally released on Riverside in January 1961. The album contains performances by Russell with Al Kiger, David Baker, Dave Young, Chuck Israels and Joe Hunt.
The title of the album is a combination of the words “stratosphere” and “funk”, a reference to Russell's interest in the intersection of physics, mathematics, and music.[4]
Reception
[edit]The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states that "Surprisingly, only three of the six selections are Russell originals ("Bent Eagle" was an early effort by Carla Bley), but the leader's influence can be felt in all of the adventurous and slightly unusual yet swinging music".[2]
