Robert Mitchell is one of the most significant voices in British jazz – a pianist, keyboardist, composer, teacher, writer, poet and so much more. He is a relentless seeker and thinker, encompassing many art forms, musical genres and constantly pushing the envelope. He leads the groups TRUE THINK, Epiphany 3 and Panacea.

Robert will play a varied programme of pieces for one and two hands including his own compositions and music by Geri Allen, Mompou, and Ponce - alongside some new poetry.

‘The astonishing Robert Mitchell, familiar as the pianist and MD for the recent ‘BBC Four celebrates Jazz 625 For One Night Only’, took the keyboard apart in every sense of the word. He uses both hands and sometimes cross-hands with equal force to build solos of unbelievable depth and complexity. Urged on by his fellow players and the awe-struck audience, his playing became ever more audacious as the evening progressed.’ thejazzmann.com

'There are two poems by Mr. Mitchell included in the liner notes, both of which show him to be a wonderfully thoughtful, articulate and probing poet of the highest order.' Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG NYC
