Three Jamaican Dances

Composer: RUSSELL, Oswald
  • Russell composed this work for piano in 1970.1

  • This work has been recorded by Russell’s former student Dr. William Chapman Nyaho (in our library as ENCO cut # 23613). Dr. Chapman Nyaho’s liner notes offer interesting insights into this work’s blend of Jamaican folk music and European style. You can read his notes here.
