While working in London he founded the London Jazz Orchestra. He was a contributor to the <a href="/wiki/Third_stream" title="Third stream">third stream</a> movement which sought to combine jazz and classical music. In 1965 he returned to his native Chicago and founded the music department at <a href="/wiki/Columbia_College_Chicago" title="Columbia College Chicago">Columbia College Chicago</a>.

The success prompted the label to release Russo's <i>Street Music, A Blues Concerto</i> in 1979, featuring <a href="/wiki/Corky_Siegel" title="Corky Siegel">Corky Siegel</a> on harmonica and piano. </p><p>Russo's theater works included a rock cantata, <i>The Civil War</i> (1968), based on poems by <a href="/wiki/Paul_Horgan" title="Paul Horgan">Paul Horgan</a>. A politically charged multimedia piece for soloist, chorus, dancers, and rock band, <i>The Civil War</i> paralleled the American Civil War and the martyrdom of President Lincoln with the turbulent civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s and the murders of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Russo followed <i>The Civil War</i> with other rock-based multimedia music-theater works, including <i>Liberation,</i> <i>Joan of Arc,</i> <i>Aesop's Fables,</i> <i>The Bacchae,</i> and <i>Song of Songs.</i> These were performed by the Chicago Free Theater, which Russo founded and directed.
