As the house pianist at Ronnie Scott’s in the 1960s he played with all the visiting American jazz greats.

Mimika is a contemporary jazz ensemble presenting intricate mind-expanding compositions about cosmic migrations and cultural evolution.
“The title Ensemble is actually meant to denote a small orchestra, like the ones once lead by Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Gil Evans and Gerry Mulligan, and with further associations to Vienna Art Orchestra (with a female vocalist) or second-line New Orleans street marching bands. The latter, because instruments such as the tuba, which is slowly returning to the jazz scene in the last decades, are found in the line-up. The four piece brass section uses many different mutes and there are as much as six reed intruments, a three piece rhythm section and finally, a female voice” – Ognjen Tvrtkovic for jazz.hr.
