Jim Mullen has been a major figure on the European jazz scene for many years, and is perhaps best known for his long and fruitful association with the late Dick Morrissey in Morrissey/Mullen.

He is the first choice guitarist for many visiting Americans, having performed regularly with Jimmy Smith, Mose Allison, Gene Harris and Terry Callier.

On Tuesday, February 24, Jim and his trio are in concert at the Kent International Hotel at Harbour Parade in Ramsgate from 8.30pm.

He is joined by Stan Sulzmann on sax. One of the most highly respected musicians in the UK, he is admired by musicians and audiences for his instantly recognisable sound and boundless creative imagination. His talents have been sought by a host of discerning musicians, including Gil Evans, Mike Gibbs, Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland and Michael Brecker. Constantly in demand as a guest soloist, he has appeared with bands across Europe, including the Hilversum Radio Orchestra, NDR Big Band (alongside Chet Baker), Hanover Radio Symphony Orchestra and the New York Composers Orchestra.

The line up is completed by Mike Gorman on Hammond organ and drummer Matt Skelton.

Admission is £5 and further details are available from 01843 865456
