George Mitchell has
been pop superstar Diana Ross'
first-call pianist for more than two
decades. Since 1980, he has accompanied
her musical ensemble performing
internationally... playing hundreds of
concerts all over the world... as well
as extensive touring throughout the
United States.
Mitchell's keyboard talents were featured in
command performances for the Queen of
England, and more recently at Super
Concerts in Taipei and Japan, with Ms.
Ross and renowned opera singers Jose
Carreras and Placido Domingo. He has
made numerous appearances as an ensemble
player on top-rated television and radio
shows, including: The Tonight Show,
Late Night with David Letterman,
NBC's Today Show and Oprah.
When not touring, Mitchell pursues his first love...
playing jazz piano, B-3 Hammond organ
and keyboards. From an early age, the
Portland, Oregon, native displayed a
musical maturity and talent that landed
him engagements with jazz legends such
as Sonny Stitt, Philly Jo Jones, Richie
Cole, Eddie Harris, Jon Hendricks and
Kirk Whalum.
From leader to sideman, Mitchell is always in demand.
When he's not performing and composing,
he is a highly sought-after studio
musician and jazz piano instructor. |
