Jazz/Funk/Rock Musician Russ Little
Russ Little, trombonist, composer, arranger, and conductor has had a fairly storied career in the Canadian music business. Starting off with a little band by the name of Lighthouse, in the late '60's, Russ had already established himself as one of the scene's go-to studio musicians and was already composing music for Canadian radio and television by his early thirties. A big claim to fame for Russ was being the composer of the theme to SCTV, Canada's biggest comedy ensemble television show - it kinda did pretty well south of the border too!
For the last fifty years or more, Russ has been a fixture on the Toronto Jazz scene as well, playing with The Boss Brass and recording several albums with other Canadian jazz legends like Brian Barlow, Robi Botos, Tom Szczesniak, Rich Brown and many many more.
