Jim Mullen’s Organ Trio

8:30pm A multi-award winner, Jim is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz guitarists in Europe. Originally from Glasgow he made his name working with a number of seminal bands through the 70’s and 80’s including Brian Auger’s “Oblivion Express”, The Average White Band and his own highly acclaimed jazz/funk band “Morrissey Mullen”. A highly prized sideman as well as leader Jim also includes work with the likes of Mose Allison, Jimmy Witherspoon, Georgie Fame and Gene Harris on a stellar cv. The band he leads this evening works in the classic Organ trio format, and features leading British pianist/organist Mike Gorman and drummer Matt Skelton who will perform a dynamic set of originals and carefully crafted jazz standards in a Groove-influenced hard-bop style that Jim describes as a mixture of “tradition and transition”. The Trio’s latest CD “Catch My Drift” was released in January on Diving Duck Records.
