We’re beyond delighted to welcome The Misha Mullov-Abbado Group to The Bear Club for the first time.
Misha is one of the top bass players around and his group is made up of some of the finest, multi-award-winning musicians in London. Under Misha’s direction the group performs his original compositions and arrangements with a broad variety of influences. The band has performed at prestigious jazz and classical festivals across the UK, as well as undertaking overseas ventures to France, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Mexico. London highlights include the Southbank Centre, King’s Place, Vortex and Barbican Centre.
The group released its fourth album “Effra” in early 2025 to great acclaim and all of the band’s releases have received overwhelming praise with the group appearing regularly on Radio 3 and Jazz FM.
The band’s repertoire is influenced by a broad spectrum of music in the classical, jazz and pop genres as well folk traditions from around the world, particularly from South America. Misha’s music contains chorale-based and contemporary styles that are influenced by classical giants from Bach to Bartok and beyond, and also pays tribute to jazz and groove-based music including swing, samba, funk and fusion. As a bass-led band Avishai Cohen, Ray Brown and Charles Mingus are all important role models for this exciting sextet.
Having originally met while studying together over a decade ago this ensemble of old friends has a lot of history working together in many different combinations and bands. Many of them have their own projects performing their own incredible and unique music and all play in variety of successful groups such as the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra, Seafarers, and Alfa Mist.
“Mullov-Abbado cements his position among the UK’s top bassists and showcases his outstanding musicianship along with a creative energy that holds considerable promise.”
“One of the finest young bands in the country.”
