Bobby Mitchell

Biography

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Bobby Mitchell’s musical interests are embedded in the here and now of music as performance art, as well as the more standard classical repertory of centuries past. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Cecil Taylor, The World Of Cecil Taylor (Remastered) Fats Waller, The Essential Fats Waller (Remastered) Vladimir De Pachmann, Vladimir de Pachmann: The Mythic Pianist, 1907-1927 Recordings I love the ease and humor you hear in the way Vladimir de Pachmann plays the Romantic piano repertoire. And although their music is completely different to the music I play, Cecil Taylor and Fats Waller are two of the great pianists in my book. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Songs without Words, Op. 67: No. 2 in F-Sharp Minor, MWV U145” I love the quixotic and fleeting character of this piece. It has a melancholic tone but also a feeling of nostalgia and expectation.
