There are nice solos throughout, and the rhythm section does a nice job of keeping time without drawing attention to themselves (not exactly Jaco-like behavior, but then again nobody else has his talent). With this release and with Cassandra's version, Black Crow potentially moves into a higher level as far as "jazz vocal standards" go. At least, maybe. One can only hope, as it is one my favorite Joni songs and because of the chord structure it really seems to present itself for jazz interpretation. Coincidentally, I had Joni's S&L in my schizophrenic car player...never know what it's going to play...and it cranked up disc 2 which kicks off with Black Crow. Obviously I had heard it before (about a zillion times, plus or minus 100) but once again I was amazed at the precision of this band...give it a spin and just totally immerse yourself at how tight these players are. What stuck out to me this listen was the drumming of Don Alias...he follows the rhythm yet he's all over the place. Michael Brecker absolutely NAILS his solo's...sharp, concise, melodic, always interesting. Then there's Jaco at the end, bouncing off the walls but working within the framework of the song itself...and riding herd over everyone is Joni herself, with great rhythm guitar and a solid wonderful power- ful vocal. At the TOP of her game here in terms of being a bandleader. Homework - Black Crow, from Shadows & Light.

When questioned about Joni, turns out she was #60.

Interestingly, no mention of Black Crow, but did call Departue Bay "Joni-esque."
