I love it so much, I don't even have a favorite song. They're all great! If you haven't ordered it yet, you're not a true Joni Mitchell fan. Kudos to Robin and Dave and the rest of the Mutts. I think it's worthy of a Grammy! I can finally say that I'm on a CD. I know I can make out my applause in the background. :-) Jimmy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 14:26:48 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: 'Safaris To The Heart The Songs of Joni Mitchell' That's pretty much my take on it too, Jimmy. Although I do have to say that "Dreamland" gives me chills and makes the hairs stand up and all that. I'd be REAL surprised if it doesn't end up on my top 10 for the year.

Thanks everyone for the positive responses! Yes, Bob the CD will be available on CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes and all the rest in due course. We decided to do the initial marketing directly however. We have hundreds of CDs to sell before the download thing starts. When you do an album of Joni covers there's a pretty hefty licensing fee paid upfront (that goes to Joni which is great) but that is ONLY good for the physical CDs manufactured. As soon as we go to downloads we have to pay it all again as that is a different license. So, for the time being, we want to sell actual discs to pay back the loan we took out to make them. As a reminder, we have an arrangement with Les to cut JM.com in for 25% of the sale towards his site maintenance costs, so by buying the CD you support Joni, Les' amazing website and help the Mutts pay back their loan. Simply mention "JoniMitchell.com" in your Paypal transaction (there is a a notes/memo box for this) or on your mailed check. We are ALSO providing the link to download the three out takes that had to be omitted from the CD as it was becoming too long: new arrangements of River and Blue plus a dead-on Judgement of the Moon & Stars. So, with those, it's pretty much a double album (76 mins). Please support Mitchell, Mutts & Irvin (not the law firm) by buying some plastic discs for a while. Your Mutts Need You! cheers all, Dave On Apr 7, 2010, at 11:26 AM, Bob.Muller@Fluor.com wrote: > since I > got it.

I wasn't really that familiar with her cds, having listened small bits more or less casually . I was a bit worried since i have been somewhat disappointed with most of the trendy jazz singers. (I won't mention any names) which to me lack the backbone of the great names of the past (Ella, Billie, Sarah.) But this lady is special. You've probably heard about the accident, the cane and the dark glasses already so no need to go into that. The concert intro is kind of free jazz, which was really unexpected in this setting. Fantastic cosmopolitan jazz band, with Charnett Moffett on double bass, and a gifted young german cello player. During the 1st encore he's the only one backing Melody and he holds his cello like a guitar, making it sound like a bass, a guitar and sometimes even a cello. I had never seen or heard anything like it. The set alternates between hard core jazz, like one would expect to hear at the Village Vanguard, and intimistic songs where Melody really shines. She has a strong personality, a presence, a humour ; a rare talent, an incredible musicianship and an ability to convey her emotions that set her above the current jazz scene, in my humble opinion. In a nutshell she is sublime and the reason i am writing this here is i feel that she should not leave Joni lovers indifferent. For the last encore, she explains that jazz comes from the blues and blues comes from pain, and that since she knows what pain is thus she has earned a right to sing the blues. She then does an acapella version of a traditional lament style blues as recorded by Alan Lomax at the turn of the 20th century. Wow !

April 16-25 at the LGBT Center's Renberg Theatre *PAVED PARADISE: The Art of JONI MITCHELL Created & performed by JOHN KELLY Directed by Kevin Malony Musical Director: Zecca Esquibel* * **[image: John Kelly as Joni Mitchell]* Photo: Austin Young John Kelly is an Obie Award-winning actor, dancer and performance artist. He is also Joni Mitchell. Ok, not exactly, but so close that Joni herself is a fan! Kelly's theatrical homage to the music legend has thrilled audiences and critics across the nation, and now he brings*Paved Paradise* to the Renberg! The concept is simple: Joni Mitchell in concert, with Kelly on vocals, guitar and dulcimer, backed by piano and bass. Featuring songs from every stage of Joni's career, the "book" consists entirely of her own words. The original arrangements are intact, and Kelly's original-key recreation of her vocals is uncanny.
