Fred Jung: Did you take formal lessons?
Russell Malone: No, I didn’t take lessons. I’m not trained in the academic sense. I think every time you put on a record, every time you go to hear another musician, I think that is a form of studying.
Fred Jung: So you are self-taught?
Russell Malone: Well, Fred, how do you define self-taught? I hear people say that and I have yet to hear someone define that for me, self-taught.
Fred Jung: Self-taught, teaching yourself without benefit of a formal tutor or education.
Russell Malone: I think everything that you pick up, you are being taught because everybody has got something to teach. Everyone’s got a different lesson to teach.
