Mullen and Kellock to fly flag in Demark
Two of Scotland's finest-ever jazz musicians, Glasgow-born guitarist Jim Mullen and Edinburgh's Brian Kellock, will be flying the flag for Scottish jazz in Denmark in March when they fly over to Scandinavia for a series of club dates with Danish bassist Hugo Rasmussen. Mullen, who was inducted into the Scottish Jazz Hall of Fame at the Scottish Jazz Awards in October, has connections in Denmark going back to his time with organist Brian Auger's Oblivion Express in the 1970s and Kellock has formed fruitful musical partnerships in recent years with Danish singer Cathrine Legardh and the Scandinavia trio he fronted at last year's Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival.
