Amarone in Jazz Festival

Jim Mullen

Jim Mullen has a characteristic style and won many British music awards, including the “Best Guitar” in the British Telecom Jazz Award (1994, 1996 and 2000). He worked and recorded with Brian Auger, The Average White Band, and was the leader of the Morrisey-Mullen, a pioneer jazz-funk band. He collaborated with Art Blakey and the organists Jimmy Smith and Dr. Lonnie Smith. Recently he played with The AllStars, a group of session musicians, in the album “All About the Music”, produced by Paul McCartney.

The young Austrian Raphael Wressnig has established his career as one of the icons of the generation of organ-pianists. This award-winning musician has worked with many important names of the international blues and jazz scene and has produced several albums with his own band.

The veteran meets the rising star, the vintage mets the contemporary and jazz meets blues.
