Leslie ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 09:22:43 EST From: Julian51469@aol.com Subject: Re:J'sJ'sJazz # 7 In a message dated 11/11/99 3:05:26 AM Eastern Standard Time, Azeem writes: << Ah well, can't please all of the people all of the time... >> Well, I have to agree with this statement...but I'm deffinately on the other side of the coin. I feel really great that this show happened, all sorts of folks worked real hard on it (though they didn't float yer boats) and a thousand or so people got to hear Joni's songs performed live by some of their favorite artists... No, it was not Joni singing, for the most part, and as a result we heard a fresh and different perspective. The whole show made me either love Joni's version deeper or introduced me to another artist that I was not all that familiar with. I personally can't wait to hear Ashara's Joni-fest tapes - I don't really care how famous someone is I just want to hear JONI !!! Here is my last installment of my review of Joni's Jazz - sorry to rain on everyone's rainy parade;-) Joni's Jazz Part Seven The mood shifts comfortably into an elegant dancing and musical dining mode. Somewhere far away I think I can hear a bottle of red wine being opened and poured, the lonely Doppler swish of a car driving by, and a black crow crying from high on its perch (with its wings slightly charred and smoldering). A melancholy piano dims the lights and Erin Hamilton pours indigo, cobalt and ultramarine ink into my fish tank as she begins to sing "Blue Motel Room." Graham Haynes adds a few shades of lavender, violet and turquoise to the pallette with his cornet, and my heart curls up with my soul to rest in this blue sanctuary . I am yearning to be with my lover as I swim through this deep ocean. The audience finds itself at the end of the first verse and then melts into quiet clapping and yelps of ecstasy. Erin's voice is rose colored silk against my ears, a cozy down comforter on a full moon, winter's midnight, smooth fingers combing through my hair. Throughout all of this bliss, Ben Perowsky is mysteriously holding back the hands of time with his magic drumsticks. (Is this band sharing a romantic secret with Einstein, Neptune and Aprodite - blowing a blue arrow kiss at the speed of light?) Duncan Sheik comes out to do "Refuge of the Road," and he asks for "some friends of spirit," to help him sing the song and, for some reason, I am reminded immediately of the first card of the Tarot deck which is the Fool: On the road to wisdom armed with naiveté, curiosity, fate, humor and humility. The band lays down the familiar, never-ending expanse of musical highway for the rookie to travel out on. He is meek and unsure at first but quickly finds a pacing for himself on this strange awkward journey. At times Duncan explores some realms of confidence by busting out into an elongated, passionate note (the last "...refuuuuuuge of the road" to which people clap and whistle) but he is still a student in this world. He shows his basic respect for the song by knowing the lines and melodies, but he has a hundred miles more to go before he finds his home. He graciously exits, and then Danny Kapilian returns to introduce the phenomenal band. "...And now, don't go nowhere.... We have a very special suprise." Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross come on to the stage to huge applause. Annie then thanks Wardell Grey for writing the next song..."Twisted!" The piano and drums swing in on a catchy little groove to which Annie and Jon flash and sparkle all over. Annie sings the lead and Jon takes a vaudeville sidekick position by punctuating each of Annie’s lines with a surprised "What?" "How?" "Oh no!" All I can think of at this moment is: Can you imagine what a cool thing it must be for Joni to be seeing someof her idols? I’m reminded of a "treed tape" from an interview of Joni’s 12 favorite artists that Lambert, Hendricks and Ross are right up there with Miles Davis, Billie Holiday and the Burundi Drummers. (So the creator comes to see a tribute of her work only to treated to the creators of one of her creations....my mental gymnastics are going into overdrive here.) Then Jon and Annie bust in on "Jumpin' at the Woodside", where Jon takes the lead and Annie takes the explosive punctuating bursts in between Jon's dizzying scat and flow of lyrics. I’m reminded of Gillespie and Max, Gene and Grace and Lucy and Desi - those fast duos that that could make yer head spin. Fireworks are shooting off left and right and the merry-go-round that I’ve been riding swings into a blur of colors and reflections. "We'd like to bring out a very special guest for you....Joni, can you come out? Come on Ms. Mitchell, this night is here for you! Is this unbelievable that Joni is actually here with us tonight? It's a dream come true, folks." Joni is speechless...but of course finds the words as she always seems to. The crowd is absolutely ecstatic. The band busts into "Help Me" but nobody seems to know the words (except, of course, Chaka Kahn) including Joni who's "on vacation." Every word that Joni does remember and can sing the crowd eats up and licks their lips. The crowd and guests push Joni into improvising, and I am transported to those mythical days of yore...when Joni and her close friends would go away into the mountains or far-flung hide-aways and jam to their hearts content....no recordings are made except the impressions and cleansing of the soul. I feel as though I am now at one of those gatherings and Chaka has asked the band and singers to "break it down." Joni floats and pushes her vocal paints around on her invisible canvas that only we, the devoted, can see. This moment is so intimate, awkward and mind blowingly breath taking - every song she has ever made must have gone through deep sea exploration, experimentation and fluid play such as I am hearing now. The crowd is clapping and singing and giggling with glee and euphoria. The backing vocals glide in on silver skates singing, "help me, help me, help me." They are angels swooping in to lift this divine spirit up and let her know she is not alone and that she is loved. Chaka sings our wishes with "We love you Joni." From where I am standing, at the top of 18th street in Adams Morgan, I can see the sunset sky is a symphony of gold, orange, yellows and blues and all of Joni's Jazz is playing in it's fields of shadows and light. I stop my tape player, extract the second tape and re-insert the first tape, smile at a total stranger, press play and then head home. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 10:40:04 -0600 (CST) From: Michael E Hawthorne Subject: Hissing demos I joined the trading list three weeks ago. I missed the first CD tree that contained the Hissing demos; still, I would like hear them. I'm a semi-lurker, but, as I've said a few times, my favorite Joni-eras are from HOSL to S&L and from NRH to present. It would be greatly appreciated if someone would take the effort to make a cassette copy of the demos. Thanks, Michael Hawthorne ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 09:22:05 -0800 (Pacific Standard Time) From: Andy Stancliffe Subject: Thanks for the warm welcome Thanks to everyone who wrote, both on and off list, after I "de-lurked" last week. I wasn't at all surprised by the kindness in everyone's welcomes. I especially liked being the "Fourth Beatle" in Kakki's message. During the week, I've been going through my collection of old Joni memorabilia in order to send magazines, reviews, etc. to Les so he can post them on the JMDL website. It has been an almost bittersweet feeling, looking through some of the old souvenirs. I found the program from the night I saw her at the LA Music Center in March 1974, a promo poster for Court & Spark (which I used to have taped on the wall of my dorm room), all sorts of things I'd forgotten I even had. I will be sending a few things to Les to post, including an interview with Henry Lewy, who talks about what it was like to work in the studio with Joni, and a magazine article from the 80s in which Joni talks about photography, with samples of some of her own photographs, and sidebars about the covers of Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. The recent discussions about DJRD have been really interesting. I have to admit that this was one of her albums that took me a while to really appreciate, and now I agree that it has some of her best singing and most adventurous music. The song I really love from this album is the title song. I was so jealous when I heard she was singing it on the East Coast tour last year! Anyway, thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome. I'll try to post a little more often. P.S. Hi Damon! See you in Tucson next week! Andy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 12:23:59 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni's Jazz Azeem critiques: << I may be biased, but I was expecting the worst of Jane Siberry's performances from what had been posted previously, and actually I think they're pretty good: she seems to "get" the songs, doesn't mess around with them too much and doesn't sound like she's straining, which most of the others are.>> Firstly, thanks Azeem for your honest review...I threw mine up a couple weeks ago and nobody's really come out and challenged it...I do have to grin at your assessment of Jane, she's not *straining* because she doesn't seem to be *making much effort*, imo...your follow-up post shows you to be a big fan, so I guess that plays into your review pretty heavily, which is cool...as a PM Dawn fan, I tend to give them a little more rope than I do some of the others. A couple other thoughts on Joni's Jazz: 1. I've found that I can tune out the crummy singing when required and listen to Reid's band...they rock throughout! 2. Holly Cole was supposed to show but had to cancel due to illness...I wonder what she was slated to sing originally? Does anyone know? Her pretty voice would have been quite welcome in this set. 3. The more I listen to the whole collection, the more I like it, so give it some extra listens and let it grow on you...the first time through IS pretty rough. Surely Joni's opinions regarding her "peers" weren't aided much by hearing singers with no feel for pitch or rhythms. 4. "I's A Muggin'" would've worked better if PM Dawn performed over the sample they plyed to start - that little Charles/Joni duet has a neat little rhythm to it that they picked up on but they didn't reference it again unless the mix just didn't pick it up. Anyway, even with its faults it's a great concert to have!

I've been a joni-digest subscriber for two weeks now and I have to say that I'm astounded at what I've been reading (every night faithfully, I must add). More on that later but first, my Joni history (whoops!). I first heard of Joni in 1968 when, lying on the floor watching TV in Ontario, Canada, I was suddenly riveted to the screen by the image of a beautiful, long-haired, young woman singing and playing guitar like I had never heard or seen before. (The picture from the splash page on Wally's web-site says it all.) A few months later, I experienced my first Joni concert (free at the University of Western Ontario). Thus began two years of hitch-hiking around southern Ontario and upper New York State attending every Joni concert I could. I think I saw her six or seven times, including twice at the Mariposa Folk Festival. I met her backstage a couple of times and she once gave me a daisy in exchange for a pen of mine she lost while signing autgraphs. For me the "classic" Joni and the material I listen to most often when I need a Joni fix, means STAS through to FTR. STAS helped me through a lot of long, lonely times when I was away at university. Almost every song on those early albums brings back some memory, good or bad, but they are all a part of me. Hejira of course is superb IMHO. I guess this is getting to be a little long to keep anyone's attention but I want to say a little bit about the language and PC threads, not so much about the content but about the feelings behind them. I get the feeling that it is a lot easier, given the relative anonymity and distance of the discussion list, to let one's feelings get the better of one's judgement and begin to strike out at the personality of the person you're writing to rather than just sticking to a discussion of what can be interesting topics. One last thing: My heart-felt thanks to Wally B. for the Joni Mitchell Web Site. It was the first site I ever looked up on the Web and still the only site I go to almost every day. Get well soon Wally. Hope to hear from some of you soon Rick N. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 12:35:14 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Thanks for the warm welcome Andy said: <> Andy, thanks for sharing this stuff with Les, I'm looking forward to reading it - I've always thought there was info from Lewy out there, so I'm anxious to hear what he has to say! Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 17:39:18 GMT From: "Jamie Zubairi" Subject: Eurojonifest2000 Dear friends, I have just spoken to the bookings person at the Troubadour Coffee house in Earl's Court and we have a provisional date pencilled in for January 4th at 7.00pm 2000. It's a Tuesday and I believe the cellar remains open until 12. I will call her up after my trip and confirm details about particulars i.e. will we be advertising, will we be selling tickets, we intend to play as a gig, what are the implications etc. If anyone could come up with suggestions I would most appreciate it. The standard charge is £50 for the room for the evening plus £30 for waitress service. I have gone for that option but will confirm details with Daphne when I return. I thought £80 for the whole event is pretty reasonable, especially if we have non listers come and listen. I guess this means that the standard of Music will have to be pretty high. From what I have heard I'm sure it will be. Anyone else in the UK with a burning desire to perform a song or two? PLease email me at: jaz@famelon.demon.co.uk so I can get an idea of what we need to organise. Much Joni Jamie Zubairi I'm so excited!!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 14:05:11 -0500 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Re: JoniJest 99 Box Set, CD-R's and Mystery Singer Beverly wrote: > Does anyone know why my DVD player doesn't "recognize" a CD-R? > I now play all my CD's in my DVD player.

When you do listen to your CD's through your DVD player though they should be in the stereo mode and play through only 2 speakers. Then you are enjoying the music as it was recorded.

I clearly (and happily) recall both "Conversation" and "Morning Morgantown" being played regularly on radio in L.A. when LOTC came out along with "Woodstock", BYT and the "Ladies" title song. My musical friends and I back then sang and played the songs on guitar constantly, even though none of us had the album or songbook. So we must have learned them from listening to the radio and each other. Funny - I don't recall "Circle Game" being played much, though. I only remember CG from a Tom Rush LP...but loved it and about wore it out. Kakki: After all this time on the list, I *finally* can join the ranks of those who have heard Joni played in the market ;-) Last Sunday I was in Trader Joe's in West L.A. and heard "Chinese Cafe" being played on a great sounding, "real" stereo system. What was even better was that several of the shoppers were singing right along like it was the most natural thing in the world to do! :D I remember the first time I heard a Joni song in the market...I heard the first notes and froze in disbelief. I waited. It *wasn't* a hallucination, it was REAL, they were playing Joni Mitchell in the supermarket! Oh, JOY!! I was one very happy shopper...and then it happened again about a week or two ago and I sang along 'til I realized I was singing aloud in the market, whereupon I paused...then thought, "What the hell?" Then I cut into harmonies.

I hope not! Catherine, I'm also on the Jimmy Webb list and Paul was chatting about us from the Joni list and caught the personal attention of Mr. Webb himself! The subject of the index came up and his assistant said that he deliberately excluded the names from the index because he wanted people to read about the art of songwriting and not buy the book because it was a "who's who." I found the book very enjoyable to read and full of heart. He's scheduled to perform here again in Hollywood sometime in February - I'll be there.

Bob NP: Counting Crows, hidden track from "this desert life" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 22:43:43 -0000 From: "Tony Wyer" Subject: Greetings and introduction fom Oxford Does this mean I belong to a fan club?? No, seriously the following appeared in The Independent, a UK broadsheet newspaper on Sunday the 7th of November as part of its 'Guide to the Internet', you must remember that we are somewhat behind this side of the Atlantic. (no free local calls being the reason), and it inspired me to look at the site. "The Joni Mitchell Homepage http://www.jonimitchell.com This independent tribute quickly won the recognition of its subject, and with reviews, clips and display of Joni's artwork, the whole thing is lovingly maintained by its creator. Two years ago these pages helped to reunite the singer with her long-lost daughter, perhaps the ultimate validation for any fan site." Well I have been a fan from the early 70's when I purchased Court and Spark, but first came across Joni on a live radio prog that she shared with James Taylor in the late sixties, all on a big glowing valve radio, Can not remember who headlined but she played both piano and dulcimer, no guitar, and I was quite taken with what I heard. At the time I was heavily into more rock orientated music, and so logged it somewhere in the back of my memory cells for a later date. From Court, it was an eager procession of acquisitions through to Mingus, when interest waned slightly, but without counting there must be another 5 albums collected since that period. I have 2 vinyl's and one CD each of Court, Hissing and Hejira, the vinyl's being worn out with playing them on inferior decks during my student days, whilst the others are either just a CD or vinyl copy. Have not seen, over here at least, either Miles of Aisles or Shadows and Light on CD which I would not mind adding to my collection. To my mind Court through to Don Juan contains my personnel favourites with Hejira being the greatest by far. Favourite track? Well there you have me and like most of you it will depend on the mood. Song for Sharon comes close as I too took that Staten Island Ferry, but it is a toss up between Coyote and Hejira itself, then maybe..... The progression from the LA Express through the Jazz Crusaders to part Weather Report was not only highly fruitful, but produced such a distinctive and original sound that no other female composer has matched it to this day. Joni herself has not even matched it since. It was her collaboration with Jaco that bought out the best in her, and it was a sad lost to all when Jaco was stabbed to death in Miami. Saw Joni once,at Wembley Stadium, around '84, A vast echoey hall totally unsuited to her music, So too was the lead guitarist (far too loud and aggressive) and the back up band. It was a relief when she sang solo, and greatly appreciated by her audience. Still this and more at a later date. regards Tony Tony's Rough Guide to Skiing La Plagne http://www.wyer.force9.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 22:34:20 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Greetings and introduction fom Oxford In a message dated 11/11/99 4:42:16 PM US Central Standard Time, Tony.Wyer@wyer.force9.co.uk writes: << Saw Joni once,at Wembley Stadium, around '84, A vast echoey hall totally unsuited to her music, So too was the lead guitarist (far too loud and aggressive) and the back up band.

And a little synchronicity...I was just reading the review of the Wembley concert on Les' site today, the critic seemed to think the same as you, although he commented as much on what the band was WEARING as to what they were playing...I should imagine if you liked the purer Hejira version of "Sharon" you didn't care for her "metal" version of it...
