Robert Mitchell

Robert Mitchell is one of the most significant voices in British jazz – a pianist, keyboardist, composer, improviser, writer, poet and so much more. As Gilles Peterson put it in reaction to one of Mitchell’s most recent albums with his trio Epiphany 3 – “a very important, influential musician” and a relentless seeker and thinker, encompassing many art forms, musical genres and constantly pushing the envelope. He leads the groups TRUE THINK and Panacea, plays in duo with cellist Shirley Smart and is a member of improvising trio The Flame (w. Mark Sanders/Neil Charles).

TRUE THINK release their double album debut in October 2022!!!
