Red Mitchell - Live at Port Townsend - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Red Mitchell is one of the most innovative bassists on the jazz scene. The discovery of his artistic versatility may come as a surprise, especially for those that already think they know him. On this album, done in Red's very own personal way, he introduces himself as not just a bass virtuoso but also a pianist, composer, lyric-writer and singer. What I am is one of Red's most personal albums, recorded 1978 and now available for the first time in digital formats. Album Tracks 1. What I Am 2. Avsked 3. Talking 4. Sun and the Water 5. Tango Magnolia 6. Micro-Thought Number Two 7. Now What Are We Gonna Do 8. You're Me 9. Autumn in New York 10. Envy 11. In a Sentimental Mood 12. Micro-Thought Number One
