Keith Anthony Ceasar Russell (24 May 1929 – 20 July 1970), known as Tony Russell, was an English jazz musician and composer, pianist and trombonist. Notably, he worked extensively with Johnny Dankworth and created the score for The Matchgirls, together with writing theme tunes and background music for TV series such as On the Buses and the children's programme The Herbs. At the end of his life he turned from the jazz idiom to write a setting of a Mass.
