Used to know you in the 80s ... will never forget you Pete.
Morrissey Mullen, what a great band and a proving ground for so many talented musicians and singers, inc Carol Kenyon and Tessa Niles. Saw them first with Tony Beard, John McKenzie, Chris Fletcher and John Critchinson at the Half Moon, Production Village, Clay Pigeon, Roundhouse - they were everywhere in 81-2. Neal Wilkinson and Joe Hubbard were another phenomenal rhythm section. Love Neal's playing on that Al Jarreau track here.
the fantastic pete jacobsen. I had the great thrill of playing with that genius. RIP Pete. Thinking of you.
Although I never had formal tuition from Dick Morrissey, I learned a great deal about music from him - usually over a pint of Guinness. This incarnation of MM has to be one of the best, with Pete Jacobsen on keyboards and Noel McCalla on vocals.. I love this version of Mercy Mercy Mercy. Truly great! Sadly, Dick and Pete are no longer with us, but their legacy lives on. God bless you guys - rest in peace.
There is sadly too little surviving film of Dick Morrissey in his heyday. In the late 1960s, when I shared a flat in Putney, we would go to the Richmond Palm Court on a Sunday lunchtime and listen to Dick Morrisey, backed by the Ed Faultless Trio. It is a long time ago but I recall Ed Faultless as a huge (well let's say very fat) man who seemed to merge into his equally huge double-bass - he was a fine player, nonetheless. Meanwhile, as we supped our pints of Guinness, Dick Morrissey would be off, especially after the break when the rest of them could no longer keep up with his virtuoso playing.
Happy days - and what a really fine player he was.
Love Pete's accompaniment to Noel's second number....beautiful.
We saw them open for Randy Crawford in London in 1981,they were amazing!
Pete Jacobsen, sadly no longer with us.
A reay lovely fella, and an incredible piano player and musician.
Love Noel's voice and Jim's melodic, thoughtful solos.

The great Neal Wilkinson on drums too. Wonderful line up.
And my dearest friend and musical compadre brilliant bassist the late Mark Smith.
@@peterdavis570 saw them many times mid 80s sorry to hear about Mark Smith
Neal is a BEAST
Saw Dick Morrissey at the City Hall Newcastle in 1980 with Jon Anderson - brilliant gig - still one of the best nights of my life.
The great Chris Fletcher on percussion. A man with a brilliant sense of humour when seeing him play with MM and Paz.
Probably the band I've seen the most. Remember seeing them at Production Village in Cricklewood and clay pigeon in South Ruislip numerous times in the early 80s..superb musicians.
Mark Smith on bass (also sadly no longer with us). These guys were such a treasure - saw them many times; always good
Played lot of gigs with Mark.Great player RIP
Love this and first saw MM live in 1981 really awesome
Pete used to play in our band, with Charlie Hearnshaw and Clifford Jarvis years ago - great loss to British music making, Pete and Clifford RIP
Used to see them every week at The Half Moon for a couple of years. Such a small venue in the bar on the left and such a small stage.
All instrumental in the first half, then McCalla would come out for the second half. Just amazing nights at 17 with friends what a band.
Envy you Steve
And Tessa Niles guested on vocals too! Half Moon was a great venue in the early 80s
Real music, most modern music has lost, melody, tone and rythem!
Thanks TG1, i will look out for Charlie Hearnshaw on here. You were blessed.
I was there! But I was so much younger then 😂
Morrissey Mullen Legacy keeping the music of Morrissey/Mullen alive with original members Jim Mullen(guitar) and Noel McCalla(vocals) teamed up with Dave Lewis(sax), Mike Gorman(organ), Geoff Dunn(drums) and Ernie McKone(bass).
Wally Hall, Sevenoaks TN13 3UL on Sunday 18th March : Tickets at www.eventbrite.com/e/morrissey-mullen-legacy-tickets-42388011684
Still going 2019? Would love to get to a gig.
RIP Pete and Dick. As it goes, wouldn't it be great if Jools Holland insisted on some decent music and muso's on his show like this, instead of the garbage that usually turns up week after week.
+littlequacka so true
Couldn't agree more!!!!
Met them at the Cork Jazz Festival in 1991, gents the pair of them. Dave Gelly introducing them too, on whose show Night Owls I first heard the band. Good times.
Have all their LPs and I have this on video somewhere! Saw them that year at the Trolley Stop in Cambridge! Just brilliant!
I once reading somewhere years ago, Dave Gelly, rated George Coleman + I recall Dave,wrote for The Observer, concerning Jazz ( I could be mistaken) Anyway, Peace to all.l
Legends
Saw these guys in Newark early 80s amazing
I saw Dick in 1970 with If - [Dagenham Roundhouse] - a tremendous player
I saw them at the half moon in Clapham:)
4:00 Imagination by Al Jarreau saw them play this many times , better seen in a packed Half Moon Putney with a rocking crowd and a couple of pints
This isn't the full concert. I have a recording of this BBC programme somewhere with Zoot Money as special guest performing a couple of numbers at the end with the band. Think one was an Earth Wind and Fire song if i remember correctly. I'll have to try and find it....
The band came to our school, Aldenham School in Elstree, Hertsfordshire, to perform in early 1980's and I've been hooked on the band and jazz funk even since.
Thank you for the memories!
I thought it must be Petrucciani, but no, it's another brilliant diminutive keyboardist!
thanks for that story phil m
Beautiful Solo in the 3 rd TOOON by Jim
Wonderful memories!, loved them xx Are you ok?
Isn't Pete just wonderful in Noel's third number?
Watermans Arts Centre, not Watermans Arms, which is a backstreet pub in Brentford.
Arts Centre corrected
I can't find the song "All I want to do" I really love it can anyone give me the link to the song?

the korniwine, you can download this video and edit it if you want the song on its own. or maybe you can get in touch with the singer. it may be on a vinyl.
I have a copy of this vinyl, it sounds better!
Is there any record or video of Noel Mccalla song "All I want to do"?
th-cam.com/video/oD5M0F8KmYY/w-d-xo.html
Supported Shakatak in Nottingham I think? Shakatak were fine but it is a topsy turvy world?
Oh aye
Can blue men sung the,,,
Noel had a beautiful voice, every bit as good as Al Jarreau. Why he wanted to waste so many years with Manfred Mann I never understood.
Noel still has a good voice and he is back performing with the Morrissey Mullen legacy.
Why did jazz lose Noel to whatever ? His voice and his ....what?.....stage presence? He's fun to watch and picks great numbers.
