The Jim Mullen Quartet

Mullen’s career brought him from Glasgow to London back in 1969.

As one of the most soulful and subtly virtuosic players the UK has ever produced, he has recorded and toured with the very best, also carving his own place in jazz-funk history as a founding member of the Morrissey-Mullen Band and The Average White Band.

As a key player and soloist for five decades(!) Mullen has become an institution in the British Jazz scene and has literally played with ‘everybody’ from organist Jimmy Smith to vocalist Clare Martin. We’re very pleased he can come and play for us at Norden Farm.

What to listen for – his ever developing melodic improvisation that has a momentum of its own - also I like his entertaining knack of effortless weaving into his playing musical quotes from other songs other genres.
