George Mitchell has been pop superstar Diana Ross’ first-call pianist for more than two decades. Since 1980, he has accompanied her musical ensemble performing internationally… playing hundreds of concerts all over the world… as well as extensive touring throughout the United States.

Mitchell’s keyboard talents were featured in command performances for the Queen of England, and more recently at Super Concerts in Taipei and Japan, with Ms. Ross and renowned opera singers Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo. He has made numerous appearances as an ensemble player on top-rated television and radio shows, including: The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, NBC’s Today Show and Oprah.

When not touring, Mitchell pursues his first love… playing jazz piano, B-3 Hammond organ and keyboards. From an early age, the Portland, Oregon, native displayed a musical maturity and talent that landed him engagements with jazz legends such as Sonny Stitt, Philly Jo Jones, Richie Cole, Eddie Harris, Jon Hendricks and Kirk Whalum.
From leader to sideman, Mitchell is always in demand. When he’s not performing and composing, he is a highly sought-after studio musician and jazz piano instructor.
