The Dharma Bums
The Dharma Bums is a new trio, led by tenor saxophonist, Roy Mitchell. Whilst in no way intended to be a “tribute” act, this project is very much an homage to the raw and earthy recordings of the early “piano-less” trios of Sonny Rollins; the sound which originally inspired Mitchell to take up the tenor sax. The line-up also currently features the extremely talented young bassist Thomas Alford and much respected, local drummer, Paul Armstrong, himself no stranger to this festival.
