Red Mitchell talks extensively about making the switch to a bass tuned in fifths in an interview in Art Taylor's _Notes and Tones_. I love Red's playing -- he is very underrated, IMO.


Maybe so - but certainly not by me!

Solos of Mozartean perfection, the most highly developed melodic sense of any bassist I've heard, and superb playing of the instrument. My goal - to play solos as good as Red and Oscar Pettiford.
