Russom records his own solo piano arrangements of popular songs and instrumental pieces from the jazz and swing eras, plus other pop music.
Most of Russom’s 18 self-published albums are based on his research into the life and output of great American songwriters. To date, he has completed albums of songs by Frank Loesser, Jimmy McHugh, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael (two volumes), James Van Heusen, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington (two volumes), Irving Berlin (two volumes), Burton Lane, Harry Warren (two volumes), Jule Styne, Arthur Schwartz (with Howard Dietz), and George and Ira Gershwin.

Original Song by Philip Russom: "What Do I Know About Love?"
Переглядів 98Місяць тому
I used to be a "road warrior," traveling a lot on business, usually on jet liners. I started writing lyrics on airplanes and in airports, to pass the time. Here's a song that started many years ago in 2018, as a lyric written in an airport terminal, at the end of a rather stressful business trip. I wrote music for it in 2020, then added its second verse in 2022. Sometimes, it takes years to wri...
Original Song by Philip Russom: "Be My Sweet Pea"

I wrote this original song in early 2023. I wrote the melody and chords first, capturing them in a short-hand music notation, known as a lead sheet. But I had no words, nor an idea what the song should be about. A few weeks later, I found myself absent-mindedly humming the song, then singing it with a few words, including the phrase: "Won't you be my sweet pea." Taking that phrase as a "prompt"...

Original Song by Philip Russom: "If You Were To Ask Me Again"
Переглядів 3Місяць тому
This is an original song that I wrote in early 2021. Audiences where I play regularly request this song, more than others I've written. I think that's because the song talks about a romantic relationship that is on the cusp of happening. And most people can relate to that, and even long for that. Be sure to read the lyrics in the subtitles of the video. They tell the whole story.

My brother James W. Russom, Jr. passed away in 2018, after a long and debilitating bout with spinal cord cancer. He is sorely missed. About a year later, I was in our master bedroom, collecting dirty clothes in a laundry basket, so I could take them downstairs to our laundry. As I took my first step on the stairs, I heard a phrase of music in my head. I thought "nice tune," but kept descending ...

Philip Russom Sings/Plays "Lady Sings the Blues"

Lady Sings the Blues = Most of the songs that Billie Holiday wrote have roots in the abusive childhood she lived in Harlem and her grueling adult life on the road touring as one of the greatest jazz and blues singers of her age. A particularly autobiographical song is "Lady Sings the Blues", which first appeared on her album of the same name in 1956. Note that "Lady Day" was her nickname, the b...

God Bless the Child = In her autobiographical book "Lady Sings the Blues" (1956), Billie Holiday explained the origin of her hit song "God Bless the Child." She was very close to her mother, although the two argued a lot, especially over money. After one such argument, Billie stormed out shouting ironically "God bless the child that's got his own money!" And the rest is history. The song that e...

Don't Explain = We all remember Billie Holiday as a great singer, which she certainly was. But she didn't just sing; she also wrote around 15 songs. A handful of those became Jazz Standards that have been recorded by hundreds of artists and are still performed today. For example, "Don't Explain" is a song from 1946, with words by Billie Holiday and music by Arthur Herzog.

Greaat arrangment!🎉
well played sir!
Spasibo 🙏
You did so well, I really enjoy this, bravo encore🎉
Well done 👏
Very nice … does not sound like a first attempt songwriting at all… I am very happy to hear your excellent piano chops, too Have you ever attended Blue Bird Cafe songwriters open mic evenings in your area? Keep up the good work (!) FYI = small known fact is that I am a songwriter myself and am often lyric-challenged (I also like you and others engineer, produce and record my tunes and others … I cut my pro teeth at the Record Plant in Sausalito (1977-80)… I hate to admit it, but ChatGPT has helped me rough out a good number of recent crude lyric ideas and then I polish them up … who would a thunk (?)
Perfect! I'm trying to figure this piece out at the moment and this is helpful for deciding what I'm supposed to do for fills in the places where there are two bars with no melody
awesome 😍😍😍😍
If I don't see her each day, I miss her Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her Believe me, I've got a case On Nancy with the laughin' face She takes the winter and she makes it summer And summer could take a few lessons from her Picture a tomboy in lace That's Nancy with the laughin' face Did you ever heard mission bells ringin'? Well, she'll give you the very same glow When she speaks you would think it was singin' Just hear her say hello I swear to goodness you can't resist her Sorry for you, she has no sister No angel could replace Nancy with the laughin' face
Sounds amazing!! I’d love to know where you got the sheet music for this version?

Soooo nice 😢
Beautiful!!!! Thanks
Oh my goodness! That sounds fantastic! And the beautiful scenery outside that window is really good the cherry on top. It looks very cozy
Sheet music?

Very nice, do you have sheet music for this?
Your version really captures the essence of this piece, it's so beautiful. Is it possible to purchase the sheet music?
Another fine performance by Philip Russom, although I would have enjoyed hearing another chorus.
Well done! Thank you.
Bravo

Love your arrangement! This is one of my favorite songs. Have you ever considered writing your own sheet music for the songs you have posted on UA-cam? I would love to learn to play them just the way you are, note for note
It's always good to hear a different interpretation when it's well done.
