Jim Mullen, born in Glasgow in 1945, is a jazz guitarist and long-time collaborator of Dick Morrissey, a band noted for its part in the British jazz-fusion movement in the 1970s.
Mullen was guitarist with Pete Brown & Piblokto!, with whom he recorded two albums in 1970. He also played with Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, appearing on the band's first three albums along with future Average White Band drummer Robbie McIntosh. Mullen then joined Kokomo and later toured with the Average White Band.
It was while both musicians were touring the United States with AWB in the mid-1970s that Mullen met tenor saxophone player Dick Morrissey, and throughout the 1980s, he found critical notice as joint leader of the British jazz funk band Morrissey–Mullen.
Mullen played and recorded with, among others, Mose Allison, Hamish Stuart, Joanna Eden, Tam White, Claire Martin, Mike Carr, Jimmy Witherspoon, Dave O'Higgins and Georgie Fame, Sinan Alimanović, David Tughan, Jimmy Smith, Terry Callier and Frank Holder. Mullen has recorded as part of The AllStars, a collective of session musicians on their Paul McCartney-produced album All About the Music, alongside special guests Jocelyn Brown, Hamish Stuart and Angelo Starr.
Mullen has won multiple British music awards, including "Best Guitar" in the BT Jazz Awards (1994, 1996 and 2000).
