Wednesday, November 12th, 2008RIP Mitch Mitchell
1947 - 2008
Mitch Mitchell, best known for being the drummer of the The Jimi Hendrix Experience, died earlier today of natural causes in a Portland Hotel room.
From Pitchfork…
Mitchell had a hand– two very able hands, in fact– in rock and roll history as part of the Experience in the late 1960s. He played in the Pretty Things and Georgie Fame’s Blue Flames before joining Hendrix, and even served as part of the Dirty Mac supergroup that John Lennon assembled for the Rolling Stones’ 1968 “Rock and Roll Circus” event, playing alongside Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Lennon himself. Two years after Hendrix’s death in 1970, he formed the trio Ramatam, and went on to do session work for a number of musicians and partake in several Hendrix tributes.
Most recently, Mitchell took part in the traveling “Experience Hendrix” tribute tour, which wrapped up its three-week run last Friday in Portland and also featured Mitchell’s latter day Experience bandmate Billy Cox.
Mitchell is the second drumming Jimi Hendrix collaborator to pass away this year; Band of Gypsys stickman Buddy Miles died in February.
