This is such an amazing piece of work. I didn't appreciate it before, though, because I was for a period obsessed with the Travelogue album, heard it many times. The original version is helpful when trying to learn it since by the time she gets to Travelogue Joni is phrasing like a jazz singer, back phrasing and forward phrasing, so, to learn, it's good to go back to the first version. As well, when I read Corinthians 13 and found how she adapted this, well, I was in a transformational state for a couple days. I hope to find a way into this song. It is, for me, the most challenging one so far. BY THE WAY everyone...SFJAZZ finally has started to announce the line-up for the Gala on May 8th. Here's the latest: http://sfjazz.org/jonimitchell and yes, that's my name on the list - guess I can finally shout it from the mountain top!!

The last one I heard was Songs To Aging Children Come, heard on XM deep tracks station. Been spinning the new Courtney Barnett and Kendrick Lamar this week, addicted to both. There were liner notes for that Geffen box, they may even be in Les' articles section.

Continuing to move ahead/go for it/try to detect it, here's FRESH Volume 213, mostly comprised of 2014 tracks but some older stuff too. Jenny Biddle finds a nice groove for BYT, and Irma's Swedish-language cover of Amelia is just beautiful in every way. Our own Willy The Shake gives us a deep track, and Anomalie brings the synthesized funk to Woodstock.

I've been playing the Trio's album by > Chick Corea w/Brian Blades The non Joni I have been listening to (who cites Joni as an influence),is by a twenty year old singer/songwriter over here in the UK, Luke Jackson. His album, "Fumes and Faith" is stunning IMHO. The intensity of Leonard Cohen, the vocal dexterity of Jeff Buckley with a dash of the blues (Ghost at the Crossroads) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBewgkHH5ik Or the more slow and beautiful, "Father and Son" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zybml-my3No I have a higher goose bump count with Luke than I did when first encountering Ed Sheeran. When I first mentioned Ed here on JMDL some years ago, I had no idea that Mr Sheeran would gone on to conquer the world and my friend, Amy, was his song writing mentor when he was 17. Amy has just finished a tour with Luke which is how I got to hear him. Luke has a much darker feel than Ed and with greater presence, I think. And what is extra brilliant is that Luke is playing a house gig here for us next Thursday and I just happened to book myself as support artist and backing vocalist. Oh, I am so superficial and star struck, but do check him out if you have time. I think he may well become very famous indeed. You heard it here first!

And an eclectic lineup of talent. I'm beaming with happiness for you. Love is a gorgeous song. Hasn't been done a lot, no good reason I can think of because it's so universal.

Here's what Joni says about Passion Play (When All The Slaves Are Free): "I always liked the Rabbi Jesus' spunk and his rebellious spirit. My father told me, "Your Jesus is awfully human." He also said my way of telling the story of Moses and the Burning Bush would be, to some people, blasphemous! This song is basically my telling of the Easter story but it morphs into contemporary ecological and sociological disasters. It is about crisis in the heart and healing of the heart. The "I" perspective that I am singing from is that of Zachius, the tax collector. He was short. He was jumping up and down in the back row of a large crowd that gathered to witness the arrival of Jesus into the town of Jerusalem. He had climbed into a sycamore tree to get a better look. " I've been too busy catching up with some of Bob's Covers to listen to any original Joni recently. There's been some great finds, including three that for me better the originals: Ian Shaw's fantastic Harlem in Havana, Cheryl Barnes's Come in From the Cold, and... (I know this is sacrilege!) Polly Gibbons' All I Want. Is it obvious that Joni's swoops and octave jumps owed something to R&B/soul vocal styling? I'd never made the connection until hearing that cover. I thought I hated Mimi Klein's Be Cool for ditching the swing in the melody, but somehow it's grown on me a lot. And Super Optimistic's disco All I Want was just great fun. And finally the various retro covers of Chelsea Morning (especially the English/Welsh? kids' choir) reminded me what a gloriously uplifting song that is. So once again thanks Bob!
