petebassist Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Had a long drive over the weekend and got the chance to listen to Jazz FM on the car DAB radio. One track that jumped out was Still Hidden Morning by Misha Mullov-Abbado. Awesome tone and lovely minimal lines. Wondered whether anyone else listened to any of his music, I'm looking up gigs but none near me. 1 Quote
bornagainbass65 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 I saw Misha Mullov-Abbado's band tonight at Chelt Music Festival. It was a crossover gig which mixed a classic cellist, the MM-A band playing cool, melodic jazz, and then performing as the backing band for the Strictly Come Dancing star AJ + partner Jessica, doing some show dances. An eclectic mix, but it meant I got to enjoy the jazz and my teenage daughter got to hear some jazz whilst ogling at AJ. Misha is a fantastic db player and composer - try and catch him/his band. I really enjoyed his music because whilst it was virtuosic (may have made that word up) it was also melodic and structured i.e. the right balance of interesting/pleasant. I bought a couple of CDs and so far so good. 1 Quote
petebassist Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Would've loved to have seen that gig mate, sounds great. I'll be looking out for future gigs. 😀 Quote
bornagainbass65 Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 This video shows off his right hand technique - as well as a lovely mellow composition. He has long fingers and keeps them straight, just bending at the knuckle. It makes sense when you watch the vid. Also, having Jacob Collier in your band can't do any harm. Quote
