Jazz at Greville Lodge vol.2 features pianist Mike Carr and guitarist Jim Mullen. Live recording from November 2009.
Mike Carr (b. 1937), jazz pianist and organist, established his reputation on the London jazz scene working with such heavyweights as Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Johnny Griffin, Illinois Jacquet and Art Farmer. "l've never heard an organist who has all that swinging“ commented Oscar Peterson. Carr is a prolific musician who released numerous highly acclaimed albums.
Jim Mullen (b. 1945) is a truly original voice in contemporary jazz guitar, who has won many British music awards including ,,Best Guitar“ in the BT Jazz Awards in 1994, 1996 and 2000. With many recordings to his credit, Mullen has recently recorded as a member of The All Stars Collective on the Paul McCartney-produced album All About The Music.
Greville Lodge has long been associated with Cheltenham’s cultural scene; for many years, it was the home of the director of the world-famous Cheltenham Festival of Literature, who played host to many celebrities of English and world literature. This cultural association is being kept alive through music with our own contribution to the town’s already lively music scene.
'Splashy piano combines well with Jim Mullen's guitar, the pair's interplay animated and rewarding.' ~ Jazz UK
'Tuneful, melodic, lyrical, Mike and Jim underline the truth of the aphorism that "two's company". Such compatible music-making should not be missed.' ~ Jazz Journal
