His recent tenure as Artist in Residence at Morley College provided the setting for a new venture that builds on all his previous legacy while sounding quite unlike any of it. Drawing inspiration from the heavy fusion of *Chick Corea* and *Allan Holdsworth*, the psychedelic bluesy swagger of *Jimi Hendrix*, and the fearless multi-media explorations of *Cecil Taylor*, **Little Black Book** brings together three bravura players in an uplifting celebration. **Laurie Lowe** on drums and **Zayn Mohammed** on guitar bring the exact combination of power, accuracy and unbounded imagination to make the project come alive. All the compositions were written specially with the trio’s unique blend of musical personalities in mind with Mitchell noting that “it’s been very exciting to explore the world of electronic keyboards, with the challenge of taking on multiple roles, from lead voice to bass, all live in the studio. And I’m fulfilling a long-held dream to work more with guitar and realize the sense of excitement and exploration that it brings.” **Little Black Book** is the latest telling of a story in which every chapter is more intriguing than the last. *The debut album - Blueprint (Of An Infinite Gift) - is out on Whirlwind Recordings!* *Note: For a reserved table with the London Loves Jazz MeetUp group bookings must be confirmed by bookings in advance of the gig directly with the venue.

Celebrating 40 years of Master of Puppets we will be hearing this album played in its entirety with the addition of classics from other Metallica records making up a 2 and a half hour show. Assault & Battery are described to be a local supergroup of members that also play in Slayer and Iron Maiden tribute bands indicating that we'll be witnessing some highly dedicated musicians bringing the records to life. Also for those that are seeing the real Metallica this year this may well be a good way to get hyped their summer shows. The gig is set to start at 8 but we can arrange a pre-meet in the upstairs bar at the venue from 6:30 to allow us a good amount of time to chat and get settled before we head down to the basement.

We meet up in Hyde Park (Just to the West of the Rose Garden - see pin on the map). The guitars will give us away so we can recognise each other in the mass of other people. From there, we sit on the grass, and after some introductions, we start jamming. My genres are: rock, blues, folk, singer-songwriter but anything goes. For jamming, we'll pick a chord progression, something not too complicated and then we take turn to improvise melodies on top of it (both guitar solos but also vocalising). Intermediate level and above ideally but any level welcome but you should probably be able to play some chords (to get the most out of it). Other things we will do: 1. We can play songs - whoever wants to, not going to go round the circle forcing people to play. The songs can be either originals (your own songs) or known songs. 2. We can chat about music or other things 3. Have a drink - bring your fave drink (wine, beer, non-alcoholic) 4. Food goes too (bring your own) When we've had enough, we say goodbye and go home. People can leave early too if they've got other stuff to do or the whole thing is not their vibe (no hard feelings). All of that is weather permitting. If it rains, it's not happening - unless someone suggests a free venue (I don't know one :-)
