Can Triches and Jimmie Black – More Classic Covers and Musical Improvisation
Excerpt from our 2018 feature page ‘This band is going from strength to strength. They are afforded scope as musicians to improvise with unrehearsed, spontaneous solo performances. Every night is different and exciting as they work without the restraint of backing tracks and any narrow expectations from their audience. If you want to see how each musician contributes to the overall performance watch this video. Every band member has their own solo performance.‘

Jimmie Blacks – Live Recordings
Jimmie regularly takes the stage for solo performances and he never disappoints. His enthusiasm and talent leaves you completely lost in his music.
It feels like every performance, for him, is the performance of his life. When playing he loses himself until he finds the place where there is just Jimmie, his guitar and you his audience. He never fails to amaze us whether he plays solo or gigs with another artist he is undoubtedly what makes Jimmie Black Bar and Restaurant the very special place it is. His attention to details with sound systems and top class speakers and amps mean that even the heaviest rock classics are melodic and easy on the ear. If the bar only featured Jimmie’s musical talents it would be more than enough. But we are often treated to a wide range of specially selected performers to compliment the resident star of the show, Mr. Jimmie Black.
A FURTHER TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
A look back at Jimmie Black’S LINE UP 2017.
Shamans made their debut performance in Mahmutlar in Jimmie Blacks during the high season. Jimmie Black Bar was the first to showcase this great band and they have since become very popular in the town. This group of musicians have played together for many years and their performances are smooth, classy and polished. Think Dire Straits, think Floyd and think of many of the classics you have longed to hear since your teens. Most of them will, at some time, be covered by this group at some point.
The Chief played for 10 Sunday evenings through the Summer in Jimmie Blacks and was the star of the Jimmie Blacks Christmas Eve Party With his unique character and stage set you would be forgiven for thinking you were suddenly transported to the wild west. His music doesn’t disappoint as he plays old blues classics and rock favourites from way back when. THE CHIEF is a very talented star who takes his performances extremely seriously.

It was the start of Jimmie’s very own Rock and Blues Bistro Bar in Mahmutlar.
The bar has been open now for one year and is unique. With live performances every night, a professional kitchen and excellent staff Jimmie has taken the concept of live music to another level.
This is not a restaurant with live music.
This is a live music venue with food.
