I think Bjvrk is one of the rare "royals" in music that are going to last in the books of history. She has created a total new art form. Her version of any Joni Mitchell songs would be definetely a real Version. G'n H - ----Original Message Follows---- **Does anyone know if Bjvrk's version of The Boho Dance exists in a registrated version? I thought it might be wonderful to hear.** It would be... I've looked & looked all over the www, & I can't find any evidence that it's in circulation in any form. It's supposed to be on "A Case Of Joni", which may never see the light of day.

There are a lot of compilation and greatest hit packages.Atlantic was his early label, and MCA-Impulse was the later label where he really peaked artistically. MILES DAVIS-Bitches Brew will blow your mind!-the first jazz rock album some say.Also We Want Miles for late career funk orLive at the Plugged Nickel for the classic quintet w/Shorter MEDESKI,MARTIN and WOOD-Uninvisable or Last Chance.... Organ trio who will shake your booty JOHN McLAUGHLIN-His Mahavishnu Orch. did The Inner Mounting Flame and JM teamed up w/Carlos for the spiritual guitar jam Love,Devotion,Surrender PAT METHENY-Secret Story is my fav, 80/81, The First Circle WEATHER REPORT-The Jaco Years- a greatest hits package Bill from IL, who loves Joni's folkie and Jaco periods _________________________________________________________________ Have fun customizing MSN Messenger  learn how here! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_customize ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2004 09:03:37 EST From: Dflahm@aol.com Subject: Re: crash course in jazz NJC Coltrane recorded for Atlantic beginning in about 1960 but he had led or co-led several excellent albums for Prestige and Blue Note (BLUE TRAIN) before that. Of course as a sideman he had achieved major status with Miles (Prestige and Columbia) and Thelonious Monk (Riverside) long before signing with Atlantic. If you get a lot from Coltrane, don't neglect BLUE TRAIN, please.

(top ten) NO NO NO - We all know she will stay at the Lez Cottage - so she can jam all nite wih us! Not to mention the irresistable attraction she will find in me! LOL!! I still think I have a way to get her there - but we must start our plan in motion now. And my idea is for a documentary on us!! Then we will jump from clips of the jonifesters and our yearly rituals to an interview with Joni. And at the end she will drive up in a limo to the performance space and come in and listen to the show annd then join in on the song circle on the last night. Now tell me that doesn't sound like a plan. Any amateur film makers amongst us? Okay lets get the storyboard going! Any angles or other ideas? So I am crazy - I never claimed otherwise.

Well I am still here in 04. Who woulda thunk it?? We had a great New Years Eve celebration downtown with the whole family and several friends piled in the limo with Jack at the wheel and we went to Lee Circle Restaurant for a really nice dinner and then hit the French Quarter for the Ball Drop/Fireworks and concert. Ended the night with a 2 hour jam session in my friends backyard round a fire. My kinda night. Anyways here is the latest on the compilation project. Someone has submitted material from a video that is out of print and I don't know how I feel about that yet much less anyone else so please lets have your thoughts on that subject. We are not selling these but sharing them amongst ourselves for our own amusement. The list is getting larger now with some great suggestions.

I'll admit that *I* went to bed around 11:00 on New Year's Eve, so so much for my celebration. Looks like you got a lot of input for your project which is cool. If you are looking to trim your list, I'll mention that all 3 of the tracks that Rachel suggests are on the 2-CD compilation that I just assembled, so it might be redundant to put them on another one. But it is of course your call. In regards to the OOP video audio, I certainly don't see anything wrong with taking stuff from something that is no longer on the market. There was some stuff on my compilation that was taken from things very much in print, so my opinion may not come into play as I am an admitted hardened criminal in this regard.

My wife and I spent the holidays with my brother and his wife in Austin, TX . . . which brings me to my offer. Since my lovely wife gave me a copy of "Woman of Heart and Mind" on DVD, . . . and my sister in law gave me the same thing only on VHS, I will happily send the VHS one to the first Joni lister to email me back and say they'd like it. This one is home-recorded off PBS, and is in the NTSC format (sorry, no PALS for this one!) on Sony "Premium Grade" tape. I will send it no charge, and I'll pay the ship- ping! I know we are moving into a DVD age, but lots of folks still watch VHS's on their VCR's. Hey, I still have some Joni cassette's (as in, before CD's) so I know the feeling! On an unrelated (mostly) note, in Austin they have a fine life size or maybe slightly larger than life size statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan, so something similar in Saskatoon for Joni would be great. And no, we don't have to wait until she is no longer with us. Does anyone know how they raised the money for the SRV statue and approx. how much it cost?

Any ideas?** Well, I would suggest you try to have some kind of theme or consistency with what you're putting together. Live versions of her released songs that add something new or different to what's on the record. Acoustic versions of songs that are electric, electric versions of songs that are acoustic, versions that add a verse or change the rhythm (like Catherine's suggestion of the '76 tour version of Shadows & Light...maybe you want to assemble live songs she rarely performed. Maybe you want to assemble really great quality live recordings and/or performances. But imo there should be some sort of consistent thread running through all the tracks. If you're doing a 2-cd set, maybe you want one to be one kind of thing and one to be another. Mind you, these are just some random thoughts - it's your project so you do what feels right to YOU. **BTW I have just offered up Off the Record Vol 1 and 2 and credited you as the person who compiled them. I just realized I should have asked your permission first, but I guess I thought I knew you were putting them out there for the right reasons and therefore did not care. I hope I didnbt fuck up. If I did I guess you are going to have to kill me.** No problem - that's why I like to share with dudes like you because I know you're gonna pay it forward...No need for my permission or anything like that. **NP-car on The Hill-Lionheart (you should be shot for putting this out there** Oh, you're wrong - that cover rocks and is SO much fun. There are plenty of things I should be shot for, but I would disagree that this is one of them.

Happy New Year to you all! Well, this Joni Compilation Project rocks! Maybe we should start trying to fit the songs (according to our contributions), surely there will be some work! and discussion, I hope! (I've made a little .doc putting them together) Of course we must following Bob's brilliant advices Regarding photos for Art (I think we would vote types of letter, too :-)... surely you, people, got very nice photos from our SIQUOMB's live appearances! In the JoniMitchellFans yahoo group surely there are some great ones (in fact I used them for a couple of covers I've made)... but these are mostly studio takes, if memory serves me well, that's it. You must say: what does wait this old euro pipo to suggest some songs? Well, I'm very happy with your askings... seeing some of them I'd thought before... but, believe me, it's a part of me: when I'm excited about a long term project. I delay & delay rasing fruits. Inded, I love seeing the songs I love posted by other people's posts! One thing regarding intros: I'd love to put in the Joni's asking for more light before Edith & The Kingpin in Budokan March 7 '83 (although I don't like the band's sound in that). Well, more people willing to contribute? More photos to the JoniMitchellFans? More members to this group? Yours: Emiliano PS: Have a Wonderful time!
