These days, I listen most often to Roscoe, but I have more recordings with Mitch Mitchell. However, Joni got my vote, because I really dug her early records ("Song To A Seagull" through "For The Roses") as they appeared, and those records still move me (nostalgia mostly, I suppose...), and the woman was and is fine.

Blue is my vote, but I hope Billy Mitchell gets a few, too.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

Man, Billy Mitchell is just a punk with none of the charisma of Phil or Grant. And hey, what about Sam and Peggy or Jamie?

Yes, EastEnders hits in 2 hours here.

Billy Mitchell - The Colossus Of Detroit - 1978 Xanadu 158

A great, great recording.

Lots of great Mitchells on that list.

I'd go with Mitch though for me. A drumming influence.

I'll vote for Billy Mitchell just 'cause I think he might not get a lot of votes.

When I first joined Woody's band in 1984 we went to Europe (my first trip overseas) and took with us Billy Mitchell, Bill Perkins, Sal Nistico and Zoot Sims . Billy was a last-minute sub for someone else- he did play with the Herd, but was not as well known as the others (as far as history with the band). At the time I was fairly naive as to how heavy these guys were- by the end of the trip I was EDUCATED! The cats was BLOWNIN'!!

..and I do like Joni Mitchell, I'm not afraid to say it!

Thanks for the heads-up on this, marcello. They have it available for download on eMusic, so I'll be putting that in my "Save for later" file, PRONTO! B-)

[Jazzmoose]

Had to go with Roscoe, but I do like Joni!

[Big Al]

Some more love for Billy! Gotta love the cover of "This is..." cuz it is literally smokin', just like the music!

[Jazz Kat]

Blue!

[alejo]

Another vote for Roscoe.

Just tried Mitchell's Ice Cream for the first time last Tuesday...amazing stuff.

Didn't vote 'cause of my obvious "conflict". If he had been listed, I might have voted for George Mitchell (for historical reasons).
