Mick Mulligan (tp)
Frank Parr (tb)
Ian Christie (cl)
Ronnie Duff (pno)
Nevil Skrimshire (gtr)
Alan Duddington (bs)
Pete Appleby (dms)
George Melly (voc)
Mulligan and Melly were brought together when pianist Norman Day told George that Mick was auditioning for a band. They duly turned up and Day got the job. Mulligan, who actually had no intention of hiring a singer, was so taken with Melly's rendition of 'Darktown Strutters' Ball" that he hired him, too, and thus was born a musical partnership that was to last for some fifteen years until Mulligan decided to give up band-leading in 1963. The band heard on these two Temp recording sessions consists of a tight rhythm section of Ian Christie, clarinet, Frank Parr, trombone, Ronnie Duff, piano, Nevil Skrimshire, guitar, Alan Duddington, bass and Pete Appleby, drums. The first eight numbers were recorded with a live audience at the Railway Arms, West Hampstead, in May 1957 and appeared as Tempo LP TAP14. The balance tends to go a little heavy on the piano, but the overall sound is pretty good for a live recording of this vintage. The second session is taken from a 1956 Royal Festival Hall concert, and finds the band with the same personnel in even better form (and excellent sound quality). Originally issued on Tempo LP TAP11, this selection starts with an impressive Yellow Dog Blues which finds Melly in fine voice. The remainder of the recordings consists of fairly brief individual feature numbers for all the band members, except for some reason Nevil Skrimshire, whose metronomic guitar underpins proceedings throughout. - Mike Durham
Mick Mulligan & His Jazz Band
The early life and times of Peter Sidney Mulligan (''Mick'' to his many friends and fans) bear a close resemblance to those of fellow-trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton: public school, then commissioned service in a prestigious regiment, followed by a swift move into bandleading. Educated at Old Merchant Taylor''s School, Mulligan served as an officer in the Rifle Bridge, then after demobilisation in 1948 started to gig around London before forming his first Magnolia Jazz Band. Mulligan''s very first band was in the classic jazz revival mould with tuba and, Yerba Buena-like, two banjos, playing a repertoire based around the Oliver/Armstrong twenties output. By the early fifties, however, the band''s style and repertoire had moved toward a looser, Condon-type ''Dixieland'' with guitar and string bass, and that''s about where it stayed until the end (Mulligan was even nicknamed ''The Conductor'' by the band, as was Condon himself). The exuberant leader had a tone and phrasing that paid homage to later-period Louis (Mick''s idol since adolescence) but frequently with overtones of Wild Bill Davison''s more boisterous side. He was a powerful player and cold certainly swing a band. - Mike Durham |
