April 2007 gig reviews by Chris Parker
Jim Mullen
Tuesday 17
The
band's sets ranging between straightforwardly swinging Gorman originals
with wonderfully hospitable chord sequences and more recherché
fare (a Burns setting – those interested should investigate Mullen's
Black Box album Burns – and a beautifully poised visit to
'Nessun Dorma' from Turandot), plus the odd jazz classic (Dave
Brubeck's 'The Duke'), the quartet turned in a supremely tasteful but
hard-swinging performance featuring faultless, cogent soloing driven by
discreet but supple drumming; a classy, poised but pleasingly informal
gig from four masters of their craft.
Jim Mullen, Mike Gorman on organ, Stan Sulzmann on saxophone, Matt Skelton, drums.
