Frank Mitchell Jr.: Premiere @ Montserrat House

It’s never easy to expand your repertoire–much less, to do it in front of 100 friends, family, supporters, and critics.  On Saturday night, at Montserrat House in the District, Frank Mitchell Jr. successfully demonstrated that, in addition to being a world-class saxophonist, he’s a crooner, an ensemble leader, and an all-around cool cat.

You may recognize Frank as the bad-ass saxophonist from Thievery Corporation and See-I. In addition, his ensemble includes veteran musicians such as Rob Myers (TC, Fort Knox Five, See-I), Ashish ‘Hash’ Vyas (TC, See-I), Javier Miranda (See-I, Empresarios), Will Rast (Funk Ark), and Jeff Franca (See-I, Funk Ark).

Frank Mitchell Jr.’s bangin’ grooves and sweetly cutting vocals come in the form of original tracks like ‘Soul Sister Butterfly’, ‘Love Litigation’, and the already-iTunes-released single ‘Booty Lock‘.  Not to be missed.  Seriously.

So–keep your ears open for the full-length album coming soon from Frank on ESL, and the rest of the images from Saturday night here!
