1577) Red Mitchell

Keith Moore "Red" Mitchell (1927 – 1992). American jazz double-bassist, composer, lyricist, and poet.
His first instruments were piano, alto saxophone, and clarinet. Although Cornell University awarded him an engineering scholarship, by 1947 he was in the U.S. Army playing bass. The next year, he was in a jazz trio in New York City.
Mitchell moved to Stockholm in 1968. He won Sweden's Grammis Award in 1986 and again in 1991, for his recorded performances as a pianist, bassist, and vocalist, and for his compositions and poetic song lyrics. The Swedish government awarded Mitchell the Illis quorum in 1992.
Returning to the United States in early 1992, Mitchell settled in Oregon.
His younger brother, Whitey Mitchell, also became a jazz bassist.
