MULTI-AWARD WINNING GUITARIST AT THE BEAVER
On 12 May top guitarist Jim Mullen will bring his organ trio to North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore to perform a programme of originals and carefully crafted jazz standards in a groove-influenced hard-bop style which Jim describes as a mixture of ‘tradition and transition’. To quote a review in The Guardian ‘Each piece gets a unique, often surprising treatment, performed with the understated virtuosity that marks out the best and most mature players.’
A multi-award winner, including a special Honorary Parliamentary Jazz Award in 2017, Jim Mullen is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz guitarists in Europe. Originally from Glasgow he made his name playing with a number of seminal bands through the seventies and eighties, including Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, The Average White Band and his own highly acclaimed jazz/funk band Morrissey-Mullen with saxophonist Dick Morrissey. A prized sideman as well as leader Jim also includes work with the likes of Mose Allison, Jimmy Witherspoon, Clare Martin and Georgie Fame.
Joining Jim will be Ross Stanley, rated as one of the finest jazz organists on the scene, and fine drummer Tristan Mailliot.
The gig is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Thank you NDJC. There is no entrance fee, however a collection is taken for the band. For a meal booking please phone The Beaver on 01237 474822
