About Me

NYC based saxophonist/composer/recording artist that has performed/recorded with many renowned artists

Saxophonist/Composer/Producer Dave Mullen offers a welcome dose of SOLACE to a world sorely in need of it on his invigorating new album on Mullsoul Music Records that features the exhilarating musicianship of a group of his masterful peers: pianist Jon Cowherd, bassist Hans Glawischnig, drummer E.J. Strickland and, in a pair of special guest appearances, trumpeter Jim Seeley. The album was also mixed by the Grammy-winning producer engineer Jeff Jones, a regular collaborator with Jazz at Lincoln Center. Far from the somber elegy the title might imply, however, Mullen introduces 7 songs that pay homage to the likes of some of jazz's most iconic and inspiring voices John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Michael Brecker, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Dave Mullen has been a staple on the NYC scene for years having performed and/or recorded with many renowned artists such as Nile Rodgers, Gloria Gaynor, Roy Ayers, Gil Scott Heron, Vic Juris, Marc Ribot, Mark Egan, John Hicks, Bernie Worrell, John Medeski, Hans Glawischnig, Boris Koslov, Jon Cowherd, P-Funk, Ben Vereen, The Brand New Heavies, Eddie Hazel, Brian Jackson, George Porter, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Claudio Roditi, Cecil Bridgewater, John Gros, Victor Jones, John Hicks, Billy “Bass” Nelson, Jerome Brailey, Blue Man Group, Slick Rick, Danny Gottlieb, Delfeayo Marsalis, Robin Eubanks, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, John Benitez, and many others.

My Jazz Story

The best show I ever attended was seeing Dexter Gordon play when I was 15 yrs. old. He was performing at Jonathan Swift's in Cambridge, Mass.. My mother took me and had to persuade the club owner/manager that I wasn't going to drink! He had a larger than life persona the way he commanded your attention with that big fat Dex sound and his stature. Performing endless choruses he would then disappear backstage for 10-15 min., finish the tune, play the next head, take endless imaginative choruses and repeat this pattern all evening. What a night!

KUDO
Great site with a wealth of information. Incredible resource on a multitude of levels. An absolute must have as an artist and a fan.
SUGGESTION
The only suggestion I would offer is the 'Jazz Listings' on mobile devices is hard to read because it cuts off the artist's name.
