Robert Mitchell / Robert Mitchell's Panacea
Description
A truly brilliant début album by this former member of the award-winning bands Quite Sane and J-Life. VOYAGER is a rare beast among débuts: a set of pieces in which composition and improvisation sit in perfect harmony; a musical statement through which Mitchell fully defines himself as a soloist, incorporating the melodic and harmonic gifts received from a classical training and from his travels in Africa, Asia, South America and Europe. Fitting for an album of this title, Robert’s sextet Panacea is an amazing multinational, multicultural group of musicians whose origins reach across the globe to the shores of the UK. VOYAGER brings together the many different voices that have resounded through Mitchell’s personal artistic journey – from M-base tinged grooves to classically infected balladry. There are so many qualities that define Mitchell’s style: orchestral, rhythmically restless, harmonically expensive, lyrically unashamed. But, when all is said and done, his music and lyrics are so original, his playing so inspired, that only one word truly defines Robert Mitchell: UNIQUE.
