[ID: a digital drawing of a half-woman with tawny brown skin leaning against a wall. She has purple wavy hair on one side and an undercut with buzzed wave lines on the other. She's wearing a dark purple jacket with black trim and silver buttons, and has a bag stragged to her thigh. The text to her left reads: "Rory Basha: investigative journalist for the Dragon Post." then, in bullet points: "writing the story on Ambrose's kidnapping. hails from Deepriver. excels at dancing badly. has magical moving tattoos. Dawn's love interest." with purple hearts below the last bullet point. end ID]
Rosemond Street's Expansion: Rory Basha!
I have art for you!!! It's been so long!!
A Captured Cauldron, the sequel to A Rival Most Vial, is coming out this fall, and Rosemond Street's gotta make room for some new friends (and lovers, and enemies...)
We'll be in Ambrose, Eli, and Dawn's POV this go-round, which means we get to meet love interest Rory Basha through Dawn's (very infatuated) eyes.
âSorry about that.â [Rory] staggered to her feet and dusted herself off. âLet me just clear this guy out real quick.â âWhat?â Dawn stood on tiptoe to look over her shoulder. The convention bar was a shambles. Chairs and barstools lay scattered while peaceful patrons crowded into the side booths, giving the woman and the aforementioned guyâa beefy human with a terrible sneerâspace to brawl. âCome on, Franz,â the woman stalked back in, fists raised, grin wide. âIf you really call that a punch, Iâm gonna tell your editor about it and get you kicked off the adventuring beat.â The man lunged; she ducked, fluid as water.Â
Next up: Viola, the new baker on Rosemond Street, and Nat, Ambrose's unlikely ally during his adventure below the city!

Lost Caverns of Ixalan Draft Booster Challenge
With every set, I like to make a booster pack of custom cards that fit naturally in the set. My goal is to push in novel directions, as much as allowable within the confines of the necessary rarity distribution and within the confines of trying to make cards that don't still feel natural as part of the set. I also aim to try and cover a wide variety of mechanics and themes. I think this is probably my favorite one of these I've done so far, so let's get into it!!!
Art links
LucĂa
Grim Captain's Herald
Jade Trident Bearer
Cosmium Compass
Wargnome Smithy // Gnomemaster's Weaponry
Oltec Sun Dial
Caving Gear
Deepriver Frillback
Lost to the Dark
Mycoid Blightwing
Reckless Descent
Sudden Sinkhole
Malamet Combat Rite
Mouth of the Depths
Rare
LucĂa, Herald of Aclazotz Legendary Creature- Vampire Demon [mythic] Flying Descend 4 - Whenever LucĂa attacks while there are four or more permanent cards in your graveyard, create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying that's tapped and attacking. Whenever a Bat, Demon, or Vampire you control deals combat damage to a player, you may pay 2 life. If you do, draw a card. 3/4
An underground set feels like a fun place to put a bat typal effect, but an ixalan set kinda wants its typal focused in the main four creature types. Luckily, Bat pairs very thematically with vampire so I made a the card batch, and threw in Demons for good measure since the card ended up being a vampire demon. Ironically, I think the rare is one of the less boundary pushing cards in this pack, but i like it and within this set it could only be done at rare since all non-Dino typal effects are being kept to rare so I stand by it.
Uncommons
Grim Captain's Herald 4 Creature- Skeleton Spirit Grim Captain's Herald is also a Dinosaur, a Merfolk, a Pirate, and a Vampire. Whenever you cast a Dinosaur, Merfolk, Pirate, and/or Vampire spell, create a Treasure token and put a +1/+1 counter on Grim Captainâs Herald. This ability triggers only once each turn. 2/2
Okay I know I just talked about this set not having a typal thing and all non-dinosaur typal being kept to rare but hear me out. My intention here is to give a reward if you want to build any of the 4 types without devoting larger set structure to it, and I like how since a decent number of the set's creatures are these types it'll always have some hits in whatever deck you put it in or can build a deck specifically filled with just those kinds of creatures. I like it for EDH too, I could see throwing it in decks for any of the 4.
Jade Trident Ranger 3G Creature- Merfolk Warrior When Jade Trident Bearer enters the battlefield, create a tapped Map token. (Itâs an artifact with â1, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Target creature you control explores. Activate only as a sorcery.â) Whenever a creature you control explores, it fights up to one target creature you donât control. 3/3
I wanted to do something fun with maps, and "Fight whenever a creature explores" felt like a fun reward, since it takes advantage of the way explore can help make creatures bigger as well as, with ETB make a map as opposed to ETB explore, the better ability to select what creature of yours you want to fight and when you want it to fight. I went with a tapped map because I don't like green creatures that fight on ETB and an untapped map would be too similar to that.
Cosmium Compass 2 Artifact 2, T: Scry 2. As you discover, you may increase or decrease the discover value by 1. This effect canât reduce a discover value to less than 1. It points not to the north, but to the unknown.
Here's a discover reward I'm very happy with. The obvious discover reward is the second ability of course, but the scry helps a lot too while also giving the card a use case outside of discover. Originally the use case was "being a creature", but I switched it to artifact with this ability and I'm just much happier with this.
Commons
Wargnome Smithy 2 Artifact When Wargnome Smithy enters or leaves the battlefield, create a 1/1 colorless Gnome artifact creature token. Craft with white 3W (3W, Exile this artifact, Exile a white permanent you control or a white card from your graveyard: Return this card transformed under its ownerâs control. Craft only as a sorcery.) // Gnomemaster's Weaponry Artifact- Equipment Whenever equipped creature attacks, each attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Equip 1 (1: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.) âAs one, the machinery lifts its voice to tell you this: âGnome.ââ
First things first, appreciate my flavor text callback. I knew I wanted a craft design in here, and it took me a bit to get something I'm happy with that felt appropriately boundry-pushing but still felt cclean, but i'm very happy with the result. I intend this to be a cycle of colorless artifacts with a colored craft that all have a trigger on ETB and LTB. I like how it has a bit of the flavor of incorporating an aspect of what you craft it with by gaining white as a color. The leave the battlefield effect means it triggers when you use its craft ability, but also that it makes really good craft fodder for other cards. That's the benefit of the cycle being all colorless- you might even take the off color ones to be craft fodder. I think this'll play really interestingly.
Oltec Sun Dial W Artifact Whenever Oltec Sun Dial becomes tapped, tap target artifact or creature an opponent controls. 4W, T: You gain 3 life.
This card should probably have flavor text but. Eh. This is meant to be a good card for the RW "tap your stuff as a cost" archetype, but I gave it a tap ability to make sure it stood by itself. I wanted the tap ability to be expensive tho to heavily encourage the archetype more.
Caving Gear 2U Artifact- Equipment As a creature you control explores Caving Gear, put this card into your hand. Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and can't be blocked. Equip 2 (2: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)
I liked that first line of text on something, but had to figure out what would be a good card to do it on. Something that rewards big creatures felt best, since if this card gets explored that means whatever explored it got a +1/+1 counter on it. Originally it was on a green bite spell, but when I made Jade Trident Bearer that felt to close, so I switched it to blue. Unblockable felt like the best reward in blue for a big creature.
Deepriver Frillback 4U Creature- Dinosaur Vigilance Descend 4 â Deepriver Frillback canât attack unless there are four or more permanent cards in your graveyard or you discard a card as it attacks. 5/5 The dread it evokes as it chases is almost as deadly as its bite.
"Big blue creature that can only attack conditionally" is well-treaded design space (though it tends to be more upside these days). However, I like the addition I made here of letting you pay a cost if you don't meet the condition yet. And in this particular case I'm happy with how that cost helps you build up to the condition.
Lost to the Dark 1B Instant Target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn. Put a finality counter on it. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.) Diegoâs elation at narrowly surviving the cave-in quickly turned to horror when he realized he now knew no way out.
Finality counters!! love those little guys. Especially since I was able to guess what they were when Mark mentioned a new deciduous counter. I wanted to show off a new way to use them that wasn't in the set (though I can't take credit for this particular innovation, someone in a discord server came up with it). They were only used to limit recursion so far, but here I'm using it in place of the "If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead" with the added benefit that it's not limited to just this turn. a -N/-N effect felt a little better than a red damage spell, because I think the -n/-n is something you're a little more likely to use just to make a creature smaller, instead of killing it. (though still pretty unlikely)
Mycoid Blightwing 3B Creature- Fungus Bat Imp Flying When Mycoid Blightwing is put into your graveyard from anywhere, create a 1/1 black Fungus creature token with âThis creature canât block.â 3/2 Once infected, it feels no hunger or thirst, only the drive to spread spores further.
Here's a card to play into the graveyard themes. Sacrifice it, discard it, mill it, whatever, and you'll get a small reward. I could see it seeing play in modern, getting a reward- especially something on the board- for free always has potential. But a 1/1 that can't block is a small enough thing that I'm not like, worried.
Reckless Descent 1R Sorcery Mill two cards. You may play those cards from your graveyard until end of turn. Though goblins are rarely welcomed into the Sun Empire, Gleetâs willingness to jump into strange pits and shocking ability to return alive proved invaluable.
I've used this mill-based impulse draw in at least two of these booster packs so far, but I see absolutely no reason to stop until wotc finds this for themselves. It seems like an extremely useful tool for graveyard themes, and it's also a great way to show off something novel at common so it feels just perfect for this kind of project. The flavor text is exploring an aspect of the world that's just so odd to me, with the Sun Empire being only humans when there's several sentient species native to the continent. I also like taking goblins usually mocked traits and frames them positively, while staying humorous.
Sudden Sinkhole 3R Sorcery This spell costs 3 less to cast if it targets an artifact. Exile target artifact or nonbasic land. The building collapsed into the previously-unknown depths, never to see the suns again.
Here's a somewhat new take on the pillage design we've seen over and over again. This is a very strong version of the effect, both by itself and in the context of the set which has a strong artifact theme and an unusally high number of nonbasic lands you'll want gone. I went with exile over destroy to hate on craft and caves. This is hopefully even a constructed playable version of this effect which I'm pretty happy with, since the land destruction portion isn't at all strong but having it attached to a more playable card makes it more likely to be around when you really need it.
Malamet Combat Rite 2G Instant Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature you control. You gain life equal to the difference between its power and its base power. Malamet magic enhances not just the warriorâs body, but the warriorâs soul.
This is a version of the "increased power" thing we saw on the two legendary Malamets simplified for common, by giving it a base use case and only caring about a single creature only once. Fun fact- the maximum amount of life you could gain using just the cards in this pack (and basic lands to cast them I suppose) is 7.
Mouth of the Depths Land- Cave T, Mill a card: Add C. Even the most unassuming of entrances can swallow you whole.
This is a mana ability we've seen on creatures before including at common, but never a land, and it felt like a good fit for caves' whole deal and for a very simple synergistic common so I made this once and never changed a thing.
That's all folks!!

LĂGENDES DU JAZZ
PEE WEE RUSSELL, DE LA TRADITION Ă LA MODERNITĂ
âMany people more famous than Pee Wee could walk down a New York street without anybodyâs taking the trouble to say hello. New Yorkers are used to seeing the faces of the stars in all fields of endeavor. But there was something about Pee Wee that made everybody, even those who only knew him by reputation, greet him as an old friend wherever he went.âÂ
- Warren W. Vaché
NĂ© le 27 mars 1906 Ă Maplewood, une banlieue de St. Louis, au Missouri, Charles Ellsworth "Pee Wee" Russell Ă©tait le seul enfant de Charles Rusell et Ella Ballard. Le pĂšre de Russell avait travaillĂ© dans une grande variĂ©tĂ© de mĂ©tiers et avait Ă©normĂ©ment voyagĂ© pour gagner sa vie. Russell portant le mĂȘme nom que son pĂšre, il avait souvent Ă©tĂ© surnommĂ© Ellsworth pour Ă©viter toute confusion. TrĂšs mobile, la famille Russell avait Ă©ventuellement quittĂ© Maplewood pour Okmulgee, puis pour Muskogee, en Oklahoma, Ă peu prĂšs Ă la mĂȘme Ă©poque oĂč Russell avait entrepris ses Ă©tudes Ă©lĂ©mentaires.
Russell a grandi Ă Muskogee, en Oklahoma, le lieu de naissance du pianiste Jay McShann. Russell Ă©tant fils unique et issu dâun milieu relativement fortunĂ©, ses parents avaient gĂ©nĂ©reusement contribuĂ© Ă ses loisirs et lui avaient payĂ© diffĂ©rents cours de musique. Russell avait dâabord suivi des cours de piano, avant de passer au xylophone, Ă la batterie et au violon. La carriĂšre de violoniste de Russell avait finalement connu une fin abrupte lorsquâĂ lâĂąge de douze ans, sa mĂšre sâĂ©tait assise par inadvertance sur son instrument. Mais Russell nâavait pas abandonnĂ© sa passion de la musique pour autant. Le grand dĂ©clic sâĂ©tait finalement produit lorsque le pĂšre de Russell lâavait emmenĂ© assister Ă un concert du Original Dixieland Jazz Band en 1918. Comme son biographe Robert Hilbert lâĂ©crivait dans son ouvrage intitulĂ© Pee Wee Russell: The Life of a Jazzman publiĂ© en 1993,
âOne night in 1918, his father took him to an Elks event he had arranged [Russellâs father managed the Elks lodge]... Alcide âYellowâ Nunez [a clarinetist] was holding forth with his band, the Louisiana Five. Nunez, one of the first prominent white jazzmen in New OrleansâŠÂ was a charter member of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band [ODJB] in Chicago... But the aspect of Nunezâs playing that held young Russell enthralled was the thrill of the unexpected: improvisation.âÂ
ImpressionnĂ© par les improvisations de Nunez, Russell avait expliquĂ© une quarantaine dâannĂ©es plus tard: "[He] played the melody, then got hot and played jazz. That was something. How did he know where he was or where he was going?" Câest aprĂšs ce concert que Russell avait dĂ©cidĂ© de devenir clarinettiste de jazz.
DĂ©terminĂ© Ă rĂ©aliser son rĂȘve, Russell avait demandĂ© au clarinettiste dâun thĂ©Ăątre local de lui donner des cours. Il sâĂ©tait aussi achetĂ© une clarinette Albert. Le professeur de Russell Ă©tait un musicien plutĂŽt pittoresque appelĂ© Charlie Merrill, qui avait lâhabitude de prendre de grandes gorgĂ©es de whisky durant ses leçons. Un des premiers clarinettistes professionnels de La Nouvelle-OrlĂ©ans, Merrill se produisait dans la fosse dâorchestre du Broadway Theater. Grand partisan du Original Dixieland Jass Band qui comprenait le clarinettiste Larry Shields, Russell pratiquait de façon tellement consciencieuse quâil ne lui avait fallu quâun an pour obtenir un premier contrat avec un groupe local.
Peu aprĂšs avoir commencĂ© Ă frĂ©quenter le  Central High School en 1919, Russell Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ dĂ©pendant de deux choses: le jazz et la consommation dâalcool. Ă lâĂ©poque, Russell sĂ©chait souvent ses cours pour courir les filles, se payer du bon temps et dâautres divertissements du mĂȘme genre. AprĂšs avoir appris que Russell avait acceptĂ© un contrat pour jouer sur la riviĂšre Arkansas avec le Deepriver Jazz Band, son pĂšre avait dĂ©cidĂ© que le temps Ă©tait venu dâinculquer Ă son fils un peu de discipline. En septembre 1920, il lâavait donc fait inscrire Ă la Western Military Academy de Alton, dans les Illinois. Russell avait continuĂ© Ă frĂ©quenter lâAcadĂ©mie jusquâen octobre de lâannĂ©e suivante, mĂȘme sâil avait passĂ© le plus clair de son temps Ă jouer de la clarinette avec diffĂ©rents groupes de danse et de jazz.
De retour Ă St. Louis avec sa famille en pleine Prohibition, Russell avait dĂ©couvert que la ville avait gagnĂ© une nouvelle Ă©nergie souss lâinfluence du ragtime et du jazz. Parmi les groupes les plus populaires de lâĂ©poque, on retrouvait les Mound City Blues Blowers qui Ă©taient dirigĂ©s par un chanteur appelĂ© Red McKenzie. Durant cette pĂ©riode, Russell avait aussi jouĂ© avec Thomas Sonny Lee, un tromboniste accompli originaire du Texas qui Ă©tait devenu plus tard une grande vedette avec plusieurs big bands et comme musicien de studio Ă New York. Ă la mĂȘme Ă©poque, Russell avait Ă©galement fait la connaissance du trompettiste Henry Allen et commencĂ© Ă jouer sur les vapeurs de la Streckfus Line qui faisait la navette sur le Misssissippi.
Mesurant prĂšs de six pieds et avec un poids dâenviron 125 livres, Russell avait hĂ©ritĂ© du surnom de ââPee Weeââ.
DĂBUTS DE CARRIĂRE
AprĂšs avoir fait partie de diffĂ©rents groupes locaux, Russell avait commencĂ© Ă jouer professionnellement au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1920 avec le groupe de Herbert Berger à St. Louis. Il avait mĂȘme jouĂ© Ă Juarez, au Mexique, avec le groupe. Câest dâailleurs avec le groupe de Berger que Russell avait fait ses dĂ©buts sur disque en 1922 sur la piĂšce "Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird."
En 1922, Russell sâĂ©tait produit avec les Allen Brothers et sur les navires Ă vapeur St. Paul et J.S. Il sâĂ©tait aussi produit avec un des groupes de Charles Creath au Booker T. Washington Theater, qui Ă©tait un important centre de rassemblement des Afro-AmĂ©ricains Ă lâĂ©poque. En 1923, Russell avait Ă©galement jouĂ© avec diffĂ©rents groupes de danse. Sur la recommandation du tromboniste Thomas Ball ââSonnyââ Lee, Russell avait reçu une offre de Peck Kelley au printemps de 1924 qui lâavait invitĂ© Ă se joindre Ă son groupe qui se produisait presque exclusivement dans la rĂ©gion de Houston, au Texas. La formation comprenait Ă©galement le clarinettiste Leon Rappolo et le tromboniste Jack Teagarden qui Ă©tait devenu un des plus fidĂšles collaborateurs de Russell par la suite. Lorsque son contrat sâĂ©tait terminĂ© Ă lâautomne, Russell Ă©tait retournĂ© Ă St. Louis et sâĂ©tait produit avec diffĂ©rents groupes de danse avant dâĂȘtre contactĂ© par le trompettiste Wingy Man qui lâavait invitĂ© Ă se joindre Ă son groupe Ă San Antonio. AprĂšs ĂȘtre de nouveau retournĂ© Ă St. Louis au printemps 1925, Russell avait de nouveau travaillĂ© avec le groupe de Berger.
Câest Ă cette Ă©poque que Russell avait fait la rencontre de Bix Beiderbecke et Frank Trumbauer, avec qui il sâĂ©tait bientĂŽt produit Ă lâArcadia Ballroom. Ă lâĂ©poque, lâArcadia Ballroom avait engagĂ© Trumbauer comme chef dâorchestre pour la saison sâĂ©tendant de septembre 1925 Ă mai 1926. Pour une brĂšve pĂ©riode, Teagarden avait aussi jouĂ© Ă lâArcadia, et Russell avait dĂ©clarĂ© plus tard quâil sâagissait du meilleur groupe avec lequel il avait jouĂ© au cours de sa carriĂšre. Ouverts Ă tous les styles musicaux, les membres du groupe sâintĂ©ressaient mĂȘme aux compositeurs classiques modernes. Les performances du groupe au club Blue Lantern de Hudson Lake Ă©taient particuliĂšrement populaires et avaient attirĂ© de futurs grands noms du jazz de Chicago comme Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman et Jimmy McPartland.
Malheureusement, Beiderbecke Ă©tait alcoolique, ce qui nâavait guĂšre contribuĂ© Ă apaiser la propre passion de Russell pour la dive bouteille. Comme Russell lâavait expliquĂ© plus tard, âWe [Beiderbecke and I] hit it right off. We were never apart for a couple of yearsâday, night, good, bad, sick, well, broke, drunk.âÂ
AprĂšs sâĂȘtre joint en 1926 au groupe de Jean Goldkette, Russell avait quittĂ© St. Louis en aoĂ»t 1927 pour aller jouer Ă New York avec les cĂ©lĂšbres Five Pennies de Red Nichols. Le groupe de Nichols comprenait dâailleurs des grands noms du jazz comme Glenn Miller et Jack Teagarden au trombone, Bud Freeman au saxophone tĂ©nor et Eddie Condon à la guitare. En octobre 1928, Russell avait fait une tournĂ©e nationale avec le groupe de Paul Hagan.
Au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1930, Russell sâĂ©tait produit avec dâautres sommitĂ©s du jazz comme Bobby Hackett, Red Allen, Edmond Hall, Oran ââHot Lipsââ Page, Jack Bland, Buster Bailey, Coleman Hawkins et Vic Dickenson. MalgrĂ© la Grande DĂ©pression, Russell Ă©tait toujours trĂšs populaire, ce qui lui avait permis dâobtenir de nombreux contrats dans les clubs et dâenregistrer Ă lâoccasion avec dâautres grands noms comme Teagarden, Red Allen et Red McKenzie. Anecdote intĂ©ressante, lorsque Russell avait fait la connaissance de Hackett en 1933, ce dernier avait abandonnĂ© le cornet en faveur de la guitare et du violon. Câest Russell qui avait finalement convaincu Hackett de recommencer Ă jouer du cornet, ce qui lui avait enfin permis dâĂȘtre reconnu sur la scĂšne internationale.
ParallĂšllement Ă son sĂ©jour avec le groupe de Nichols, Russell avait continuĂ© de participer Ă diffĂ©rentes sessions en studio, tant Ă la clarinette, aux saxophones alto, tĂ©nor et soprano, et Ă la clarinette basse. En 1932, Russell avait mĂȘme enregistrĂ© avec les Rhythmakers à New York. Russell avait aussi jouĂ© avec diffĂ©rents chefs dâorchestre dont le trompettiste Louis Prima (1935), avec qui il avait fait des apparitions dans quelques court-mĂ©trages pour Paramount et Vitaphone. Le groupe Ă©tait Ă©galement trĂšs populaire dans les clubs. En 1936, Russell avait fait porter le nombre de membres de son groupe Ă dix-huit musiciens. Mais lorsque le groupe Ă©tait arrivĂ© Ă Chicago, Russell avait dĂ©veloppĂ© une pleurĂ©sie et avait Ă©tĂ© incapable de jouer durant deux mois.
AprĂšs avait obtenu quelques contrats Ă Chicago, Russell Ă©tait retournĂ© Ă New York en 1937, et avait jouĂ© avec un groupe de Dixieland fondĂ© par Red McKenzie et qui comprenait Eddie Condon, Bobby Hackett et le batteur Johnny Blowers. Le groupe se produisait dans un cĂ©lĂšbre club-restaurant de Greenwich Village. PropriĂ©tĂ© de Nick Rongetti, le club Ă©tait devenu un lieu de rassemblement privilĂ©giĂ© des musiciens de jazz durant la pĂ©riode de transition du swing vers le bebop. MalgrĂ© son alcoolisme, Russell Ă©tait devenu un incontournable du club. Rongetti lâavait dâailleurs congĂ©diĂ© et rĂ©engagĂ© Ă de nombreuses reprises. En fait, le groupe Ă©tait tellement populaire quâil avait fait lâobjet dâun reportage trĂšs dĂ©taillĂ© dans le magazine Life en aoĂ»t 1938. Devenu une grande vedette, Russell avait inspirĂ© le commentaire suivant Ă Warren W. VachĂ© dans son ouvrage Jazz Gentry: Aristocrats of the Music World publiĂ© en 1999: âMany people more famous than Pee Wee could walk down a New York street without anybodyâs taking the trouble to say hello. New Yorkers are used to seeing the faces of the stars in all fields of endeavor. But there was something about Pee Wee that made everybody, even those who only knew him by reputation, greet him as an old friend wherever he went.â Russell avait mĂȘme participĂ© Ă des campagnes de publicitĂ© pour le fabricant de clarinettes Conn.
Dans les annĂ©es 1940, Russell Ă©tait toujours aussi populaire et avait continuĂ© de dĂ©crocher de nombreux contrats: enregistrements, fĂȘte privĂ©es, performances dans les clubs et Ă la radio... Au milieu des annĂ©es 1940, Russell sâĂ©tait joint au cornettiste Jimmy McPartland Ă Chicago, avant de tomber malade et de retourner au Nickâs, cette fois avec le trompettiste Wild Bill Davison comme chef dâorchestre. Ă la mĂȘme Ă©poque, Russell avait Ă©galement enregistrĂ© plusieurs piĂšces pour la compagnie de disques Commodore de Milt Gabler, tant sous son propre nom que comme accompagnateur dâautres musiciens.
Au cours de cette pĂ©riode, Russell avait aussi jouĂ© avec le big band de Bobby Hackett et avec le guitariste Eddie Condon, avec qui il avait continuĂ© de travailler durant le reste de sa carriĂšre. Ce qui nâavait pas empĂȘchĂ© Russell de dĂ©clarer: "Those guys [at Nick's and Condon's] made a joke, of me, a clown, and I let myself be treated that way because I was afraid. I didn't know where else to go, where to take refuge". Au milieu de 1939, Russell avait finalement mis fin Ă sa collaboration avec le big band de Hackett pour retourner jouer au Nickâs avec le groupe de Condon qui Ă©tait alors dirigĂ© par le saxophoniste Bud Freeman. Le groupe avait finalement Ă©tĂ© dĂ©mantelĂ© en juin 1940, mĂȘme sâil avait participĂ© Ă une session sous le nom de Bud Freemanâs Chicagoans un mois plus tard.
Dans les annĂ©es 1940, la santĂ© de Russell avait commencĂ© Ă devenir prĂ©caire, et sa grande consommation dâalcool nâavait guĂšre contribuĂ© Ă amĂ©liorer la situation, ce qui avait mĂȘme provoquĂ© la fin de sa relation avec sa compagne de lâĂ©poque, Lola. Comme Russell lâavait expliquĂ© plus tard au critique Whitney Balliett: âFor ten years I couldnât eat anything. All during the forties.... I lived on brandy milkshakes and scrambled-egg sandwiches. And on whiskey. The doctors couldnât find a thing.... It began to affect my mind....âÂ
Le style de jeu de Russell avait toutefois changé aprÚs sa dépression nerveuse. Qualifiant le jeu de Russell, le critique Colin Larkin avait décrit son style comme "a hollow feathery tone framing phrases of an almost Chinese introspection with a tendency to inconclusive garrulity that would have been unheard of in the days when Pee Wee could pack more into a middle eight than any other thirties pick-up player".
En 1942, Russell avait fait partie dâun groupe tout-Ă©toile mis sur pied par Eddie Condon pour les dĂ©buts de Fats Waller Ă Carnegie Hall. Parmi les membres du groupe, on remarquait Bud Freeman et Gene Krupa. Au printemps 1942, Russell avait fait la rencontre de sa future Ă©pouse Mary Chaloff. Le couple sâĂ©tait mariĂ© Ă New York le 11 mars 1943. De trois ans la cadette de Russell, Mary, une jeune femme qui Ă©tait Ă la fois trĂšs intelligente et trĂšs jolie, avait apportĂ© Ă©normĂ©ment de stabilitĂ© Ă son nouvel Ă©poux. Comme lâĂ©crivait le biographe de Russell, Robert Hilbert, âThey had a special closeness that had developed out of their bantering relationship... While Pee Wee had developed a dependency on Mary, she was anything but a doormat... She was a strong-willed, independent woman when it was not considered âproperâ to be one. She supported Pee Weeâs fragile ego and attempted to give him the personal confidence he often lacked. She made a home for him.â Mais malgrĂ© toute sa bonne volontĂ©, Mary ne pouvait protĂ©ger Russell de ses anciens dĂ©mons.
DERNIĂRES ANNĂES
Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Russell avait enregistrĂ© des disques pour lâeffort de guerre (les cĂ©lĂšbres V-Discs). Sa composition ââPee Wee Speaksââ avait Ă©tĂ© enregistrĂ©e avec Muggsy Spanier et les V-Disc All Stars.
AprĂšs avoir Ă©tĂ© atteint dâune pancrĂ©atite qui lâavait forcĂ© Ă ĂȘtre hospitalisĂ© durant neuf mois et lui avait presque coĂ»tĂ© la vie en 1950 (il ne pesait plus que 73 livres Ă lâĂ©poque), Russell avait Ă©tĂ© victime dâune dĂ©pression nerveuse majeure en 1951, ce qui lâavait souvent empĂȘchĂ© de se produire sur scĂšne. En fait, Russell Ă©tait tellement entre la vie et la mort Ă lâĂ©poque quâon avait mĂȘme tenu un concert bĂ©nĂ©fice en son honneur. AprĂšs avoir passĂ© des semaines Ă lâhĂŽpital et subi plusieurs transfusions sanguines, Russell Ă©tait retournĂ© Ă New York et sâĂ©tait produit aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Thelonious Monk dans le cadre du Festival de jazz de Newport. Il avait aussi jouĂ© avec Duke Ellington.
En 1952, Russell avait recommencĂ© Ă collaborer avec George Wein et avait formĂ© un groupe qui comprenait le grand cornettiste et innovateur Ruby Braff. Wein, qui Ă©tait Ă lâorigine de la fondation du Festival de jazz de Newport en 1954, avait dâailleurs invitĂ© Russell Ă participer au festival en 1963 aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Thelonious Monk. Dans le cadre de cette performance, Russell avait interprĂ©tĂ© un long solo sur le classique ââBlue Monk.ââ Câest aussi au Festival de Newport que Russell avait jouĂ© avec un autre innovateur, le cĂ©lĂšbre chef dâorchestre Stan Kenton, pour la premiĂšre fois. Comme Wein lâavait expliquĂ© plus tard au biographe de Russell, Robert Hilbert, â[He] never met anybody elseâs terms. He just kept playing as well as he could play. He was listening to new things all the time and absorbing it all in his ear...â Au cours de sa carriĂšre, Russell avait Ă©galement jouĂ© avec dâautres grands innovateurs comme Gerry Mulligan, Jimmy Giuffre, Kenny Davern et Bobby Gordon.
En dĂ©cembre 1957, Russell avait aussi fait une apparition dans une des plus grandes performances tĂ©lĂ©visĂ©es de lâhistoire du jazz. IntitulĂ©e ââThe Sound of Jazzââ, lâĂ©mission Ă©tait animĂ©e par John Crosby et mettait en vedette Ă la fois les plus grands maĂźtres de lâĂ©poque swing que les innovateurs les plus modernes. Mais mĂȘme sâil avait commencĂ© Ă flirter avec le jazz moderne, Russell avait continuĂ© de jouer avec des musiciens plus traditionnels comme le trompettiste Buck Clayton et le tromboniste Vic Dickenson. Commentant le travail de Russell avec Clayton en 1960, le critique Stanley Dance Ă©crivait: âTaste is important to both Pee Wee and Buck Clayton, and basically this is therefore a good marriage. Pee Wee, with his sincere approach, tortured lyricism, and ear for harmonies that please and satisfy, seems to fall on he contemporary scene like manna on the desert... He has long been appreciated in many quarters, but it required the current critical climate for his talents to bereverently labeled as Art with a capital.âÂ
En avril 1961, Russell avait accompagnĂ© Wein dans le cadre dâune tournĂ©e europĂ©enne qui comprenait des arrĂȘts Ă Essen, Berlin, Copenhague et Paris. Ă son retour aux Ătats-Unis, Russell avait participĂ© Ă de nombreuses Ă©missions de tĂ©lĂ©vision, dont plusieurs avaient remportĂ© un grand succĂšs. Mais aprĂšs avoir Ă©tĂ© contraint de jouer les vieux classiques du Dixieland comme âMuskrat Rambleâ et âWhen the Saints Go Marching Inââ pour la iniĂšme fois, Russell avait besoin de passer Ă autre chose. Il avait donc commencĂ© Ă choisir ses futures apparitions en public avec soin et avait mĂȘme dĂ©cidĂ© de former un quartet plus moderne avec le tromboniste Marshall Brown. Le groupe comprenait Ă©galement le bassiste Russell George et le batteur Ron Lundberg dans une formule sans piano sâapparentant au quartet de Gerry Mulligan. Le rĂ©pertoire du groupe comprenait mĂȘme des compositions de John Coltrane et dâOrnette Coleman. Le groupe avait fait ses dĂ©buts en octobre 1962 aprĂšs une longue pĂ©riode de rĂ©pĂ©titions, mais les rĂ©actions du public et de la critique avaient Ă©tĂ© mitigĂ©es.
AprĂšs cet Ă©chec relatif, Russell avait recommencĂ© Ă voyager sous son propre nom. Au dĂ©but de 1964, Russell se prĂ©parait Ă faire une tournĂ©e en Australie, en Nouvelle-ZĂ©lande et au Japon avec les Eddie Condonâs All-Stars. La tournĂ©e avait Ă©tĂ© particuliĂšrement gratifiante pour Russell qui avait fait lâobjet dâun accueil enthousiaste partout oĂč il se rendait. Ă son retour en AmĂ©rique, Russell sâĂ©tait produit dans un nombre toujours croissant de festivals de jazz et avait fait la joie des amateurs en interprĂ©tant sa cĂ©lĂšbre composition âPee Weeâs Blues.â En septembre de la mĂȘme annĂ©e, Russell Ă©tait de retour en Europe avec Wein et un groupe qui comprenait Braff et Bud Freeman. Par la suite, Russell avait fait un premier sĂ©jour en Angleterre, ce qui lui avait permis de se produire avec de nombreux groupes britanniques.
En 1965, Russell, sous lâencouragement de sa femme Mary, avait commencĂ© Ă faire de la peinture abstraite. Loin dâĂȘtre dĂ©pourvu de talent comme peintre, Russell avait dĂ©montrĂ© les mĂȘmes dons dâinnovation et dâimprovisation dans ses tableaux quâil lâavait toujours fait dans sa musique. Le saxophoniste Bud Freeman Ă©tait mĂȘme devenu une sorte dâagent non officiel de Russell et avait fait la promotion de ses tableaux. Comme Freeman lâavait expliquĂ© plus tard au biographe de Russell, Robert Hilbert, âHe was so good that people around the world identified more with the idea that he was a famous painter than a clarinet player. So he sold something like 54 paintings for not less than seven hundred dollars a painting.â Loin de dĂ©laisser pour autant sa carriĂšre musicale, Russell sâĂ©tait de nouveau rendu au Mexique dans le cadre dâune tournĂ©e organisĂ©e par Wein. Il avait Ă©galement jouĂ© Ă lâExposition internationale de MontrĂ©al en 1967.
TombĂ©e malade en mai 1967 Ă la suite dâune maladie non identifiĂ©e, Mary avait Ă©tĂ© admise au St. Vincentâs Hospital. On lui avait finalement diagnostiquĂ© un cancer du pancrĂ©as. Le dĂ©cĂšs de Mary le 7 juin suivant avait de nouveau plongĂ© Russell dans la dĂ©pression. Le biographe de Russell, Robert Hilbert, Ă©crivait: âWithout Mary, Pee Weeâs lifeâ even his musicâ suddenly meant nothing to him. Just when he at last seemed happy and secure, fate made his worst fear a reality: the self-styled loner finally had to face his demons by himself.â
MĂȘme si Russell avait continuĂ© de jouer avec une certaine rĂ©gularitĂ©, et plus particuliĂšrement dans la rĂ©gion de Washington, le coeur nây Ă©tait plus et le nombre de ses performances Ă©tait en chute libre. Sur la recommandation dâun ami, Russell avait finalement acceptĂ© de se faire admettre Ă lâhĂŽpital dâAlexandria, en Virginie, en fĂ©vrier 1969.
Russell avait livrĂ© sa derniĂšre performance avec George Wein lors de la cĂ©rĂ©monie dâinauguration du prĂ©sident Richard Nixon le 21 janvier 1969. Pee Wee Russell est mort Ă lâhĂŽpital dâAlexandria moins de trois semaines plus tard, le 15 fĂ©vrier. Son dĂ©cĂšs a Ă©tĂ© attribuĂ© Ă une pancrĂ©atite et Ă une cirrhose du foie.
En 1987, Russell a été intronisé au sein du Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame. Parmi les plus célÚbres compositions de Russell, on remarque "Pee Wee's Blues", "Pee Wee Speaks", "Oh! No", "Muskeegie Blues", "Three-Two-One Blues", "Stuyvesant Blues", "Pee Wee's Song", "The Bends Blues", "Midnight Blue", "Englewood", "Cutie Pie", "What's the Pitch", "Missy", "This Is It", "Pee Wee's Tune" et "But Why".
Le style de Russell avait toujours Ă©tĂ© trĂšs original. Les notes jouĂ©es par Russell Ă©taient plutĂŽt inorthodoxes comparativement Ă celles de ses contemporains. On lâavait mĂȘme parfois accusĂ© Ă lâoccasion de fausser. Au milieu des annĂ©es 1920, Russell Ă©tait devenu incontournable comme clarinettiste.
MĂȘme si Russell Ă©tait souvent identifiĂ© comme musicien de Dixieland, il avait toujours rejetĂ© cette Ă©tiquette. Mais mĂȘme sâil avait tentĂ© de prendre ses distances face au Dixieland et de sâĂ©tablir comme un musicien moderne, il nâavait jamais pu sâaffranchir totalement de son ancien style qui lui avait permis de bien gagner sa vie. MĂȘme sâil avait obtenu plusieurs offres pour jouer avec les meilleurs big bands de son Ă©poque, Russell avait toujours prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© se produire avec de petits groupes. Ă lâexception de son bref sĂ©jour avec le big band de Bobby Hackett, Russell avait rarement jouĂ© avec de grandes formations. Â
Reconnu pour son style imprĂ©visible et trĂšs original, Russell est considĂ©rĂ© de nos jours comme un des clarinettistes les plus innovateurs de lâaprĂšs-guerre. Lâapproche unique et non complexĂ©e de Russell Ă©tant bien avant de son temps, il est mĂȘme considĂ©rĂ© par certains comme un des fondateurs du free jazz. Ă lâĂ©poque de lâenregistrement de lâalbum Jazz Reunion en 1961, Coleman Hawkins (qui avait enregistrĂ© pour la premiĂšre fois avec Russell en 1929 et le considĂ©rait comme un daltonien) avait reconnu les talents dâinnovateur de Russell en faisant remarquer que '"For thirty years, Iâve been listening to him play those funny notes. He used to think they were wrong, but they weren't. Heâs always been way out, but they didn't have a name for it then."Â
Les Newport All-Stars ont rendu hommage Ă Russell dans le cadre dâun blues plutĂŽt lent intitulĂ© "Pee Wee Russell's Unique Sound". DĂ©crivant lâapproche unique de Russell de la musique, lâhistorien du jazz GĂŒnther Schuller Ă©crivait en 1991 dans The Swing Era: â...there is something inherently vocal about Russellâs performance. It is as if clarinet and human voiceâsome remarkably extended voice, to be sureâare welded into one.â Quant au biographe de Russell, Robert Hilbert, il avait commentĂ©: âHis was the pure flame. Hot, gritty, profane, real. No matter what physical or mental condition Russell was in, night after night he spun wondrous improvisations. No matter how disjointed his life, how scrambled his mind, how incomprehensible his speech, his music remained logical and authoritative, elegant and graceful, haughty and proud.â

Deepriver
Thanks for answering a few questions for us guys; let us start with the project itself: Some may not be aware, but you've worked together in the past on Trance compositions; what brought the two of you to collaborate on something in the ambient sphere?
Joni - I think we were always both interested in exploring genres outside of trance. Ambient was something we were always talking about and were both inspired by. Jason of course, has also released more music in the genre, and I eventually ended up doing work in the genre as well, so it felt very natural to create a full album together like this.
Jason - Definitely. Even back when we were making trance, whenever weâd send references over or things to spark inspiration, most of the time, it was from the ambient and experimental genre. I specifically remember Brian Eno and Stars of the Lid were big favourites.
Eno and SotL are good signposts for sure. Eno has a wandering aesthetic, where as Stars of the Lid are masters at glacial paced ambient. The works on Volume One, to me, seem to have a sense of purpose, a traversing of something, slow soundtracks to grand actions. It's difficult to actualise but It seems like there is a form of exploration in the songs and a poignant endpoint to these explorations. I might be reading too much into the nature of the tracks but they surely aren't "ambient to have on in the background" nor "tranquil music to relax to". I am drawn to this sort of visceral ambient, which sort of demands listening. Was there conscious thought from the two of you to make the album more permeable?
Joni - I do think we made all the music on Volume One for conscious listening rather than something you'd have on in the background that melts away with everything else. Perhaps we didn't say or think it outright, but there was definitely intention and purpose with each piece. I like how they flow together in such a way that requires you to listen to each piece but also the album as a whole. I think I can speak for both of us in that we have always leandt more towards mood and feeling as the main focus of our music, and that sort of sound requires a more focused approach from the listener.
So why the name Deepriver? Is there some significance to the name?
Joni - We are both quite big cinephiles and love the work of David Lynch. âDeepriverâ is a reference to that as âDeep Riverâ is mentioned in at least two of his films, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive. One of us suggested it as a project name, and it stuck. I know there is also a Deep River in Cape Town, but I can't remember if that at all influenced the name...
Jason - The Cape Town link is a complete coincidence. Thereâs a suburb here called Diep River. A few people have asked if it was named after that. It isnât, but itâs a cool connection, I think.
Cinephiles eh? Many a musician has been influenced in one way or another by cinema. I can personally call out movies that have been of inspiration to a subset of my output. Care to share any influential movies or directors (other than Lynch of course)?
Joni - There are so many! Having known Jason for some time, we've touched on quite a lot of directors and films...and we still share tips and discoveries to this day. Just this week, we were discussing Cronenberg and Friedkin. We are also both big David Fincher fans (I think the music and mood in "Gone Girl," for example, is brilliant), as well as Bergman, Kubrick, Malick, Tarkovsky, Fellini, the list continues. But there are so many, it's hard to pinpoint...I could probably ramble for a whole day on this topic.
I feel like I can hear each of your input on Volume One. Maybe I'm off base, but the album has Threads (van Wyk) meets Rymd (Ljungqvist) feel. Were these songs written from previous uncompleted works that you each had that you then allowed the other to complete? Or was the album written from the ground up with the explicit idea of collaborating on something fresh?
Joni - I think that's a very good observation. It was mostly music we wrote from the ground up by sending ideas and pieces back and forth over many years. A few of the tracks were also from the "original" Deepriver project, which was very beat-centric. That music sounded a lot different from what you hear on Volume One. I'm very happy with what we achieved and how we managed to get it to where it is.
Jason - We had a completed version as far back as 2013, but it wasnât quite there in terms of us wanting to release it. Over the years, we kept coming back to it. Once the beats and the heavier sounds came out, things started to come together. A big part of the process also came down to choosing which tracks worked together to form the album. The track count was huge, as you can imagine from around a decade of sending ideas back and forth, so getting it down to around the 40-minute mark was a bit of a challenge.
Yeah, when things are flowing it can be difficult to edit things down to the limitations of a LP pressing. I feel you did a really great job with that though. In regards to the LP pressing and specifically the art: how did you guys find and come to agreement on such an iconic cover image? Were you fans of Karen's work prior?
Jason - We discovered Karen on Instagram actually and reached out to her on there. After days of searching, her image âScenic Elevatorâ caught my eye. I sent it over to Joni, and he agreed. We reached out to Karen, and she very kindly allowed us to use it.
Coming out of the gate with an album called Volume One implies there will be more volumes. What do you collectively think we might expect from the project in the future?
Joni - We have, as time permits, talked already about a follow-up and even exchanged some ideas. There might be another concept for that follow-up, and I'm sure we will manage to do it in a shorter time than Volume One!
Jason - I think so too. Further exploration of this sound is what you can expect.
Great news for n5 and fans of Volume One! Volume One is out now: https://n5.md/318

DEEPRIVER - VOLUME ONE Out now through n5MD on vinyl and digital.
https://ffm.to/deeprivervolumeone
Deepriver is the recently formed intercontinental project of Cape Town-based Jason van Wyk and long time Stockholm-based collaborator Joni Ljungqvist. Having worked previously in collaboration mining the more introspective side of trance, Deepriverâs inaugural aural statement, âVolume Oneâ, finds the two experimenting with atmosphere and composition to maximal effect. Van Wykâs recent viscerally experimental direction seamlessly coalesces with Ljungqvistâs conceptually reflective approach in a way that recalls the sounds and nostalgia of electronic music from decades past. Having slowly formed through many iterations, âVolume Oneâ is out on June 16. â 1. Tides 2. Coastal 3. Home 4. Valley 5. Slower Waves 6. Motion Blur 7. Hours 8. Divided â Written and produced by Jason van Wyk and Joni Ljungqvist Recorded during 2022 in Cape Town, South Africa and Stockholm, Sweden
Mastered by Ian Hawgood, Mokoshi Mastering Cover art by Karen Lynch, Leaf and Petal Design Photography by Nanje Nowack
