There's a great chapter on Red Mitchell in the Gene Lees book "Cats of any color".
Gene talks to Red who really goes into detail on the 5ths thing. He also tells some great stories about Whitey.
BTW that book "Cats of any color" is about racism (against black and whites) in jazz, and contains a chapter about Wynton Marsalis and Stanley Crouch that really opened my eyes on 'reverse' racism, and how jazz should be a universal music.
