Joni Mitchell Artist's Choice(TM) and Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs are exclusively available at Starbucks Company-operated stores in North America. Starbucks Hear Music's newest CD releases provide unique insight into Mitchell's singular genius: - -- Joni Mitchell Artist's Choice(TM) consists of eighteen of Mitchell's favorite songs. Featuring song-by-song commentary written by Mitchell, the album provides a revealing glimpse into the artist's personal and aesthetic inspirations, which are as richly diverse as her own musical catalogue. As her celebrated forays into the genre would suggest, jazz (the DeBussy classic "Clare de Lune," Billie Holiday's "Solitude," Miles Davis' "It Never Entered My Mind," and more) figures prominently in Mitchell's selections. Among the album's surprises are Chuck Berry's "Johnny Be Good" and the New Radicals' "You Get What You Give." - -- Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs is a collection of Mitchell's songs, all of which were selected for inclusion on the album by a broad range of friends and fellow musicians who have been influenced by the legendary artist. Participants include Prince, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Chaka Khan. For the first time since Starbucks Hear Music launched its popular Opus(TM) series in February 2001, world renowned artists were asked to choose their favorite song from a fellow musician's catalogue and their picks formed the album. "By the end of the 20th century it seemed to me that the muse had gone out of music and all that was left was the 'ic,'" Joni Mitchell said. "Nothing sounded genuine or original. Truth and beauty were passe. I got the picture. I quit the business. I volunteered to take part in the Starbucks Hear Music project in order to force myself to review the songs and compositions that, over the course of my life, really got to me. I was about to receive an honorary doctorate in music and I needed to remember what it was that I had once loved about it." "We are honored to have had the opportunity to team with Joni Mitchell, a true music legend, to offer our customers, who are passionate music fans, the chance to learn more about her musical inspirations and the impact she's had on other world-renowned musicians," said Ken Lombard, president, Starbucks Entertainment. "We are delighted to be able to offer our customers unique perspective on Joni Mitchell's talent and musical legacy." Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs is a musical testament to the impact Mitchell has had on other world-renowned singers and songwriters: - -- About his choice of "Free Man in Paris" (from the album Court and Spark), Bob Dylan says "I always liked this song because I'd been to Paris and understood what being a free man there was all about ... I'm not so sure that the meaning I heard in the song was what Joni intended, but I couldn't stop listening to it." - -- "It's nearly impossible to choose between the intimate, emotionally raw songs of Blue and the novelist's eye for details in a portrait song such as 'Shades of Scarlet Conquering,'" explains Elvis Costello. "I chose 'For The Roses' (from the album of the same name) for inclusion on Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs because it is somewhere in between -- there are tiny details of a lover's infidelity, but the musical tone is also confidential and it sets up a bold and unflinching look at an artist trying to detach from the deceits of fame."

Was delighted all anew at the arrangements and great natural sounding instruments. Had never even really "heard" the subtle right hand channel guitar part in AIW. I mean I guess I heard it as part of the whole, but I always thought that tune was dulcimer only. And then I read the (tiny printed) credits, and its JT playing. And then I listened again, and I could TELL it was JT playing - could ID the playing sorta! So that was fun. I like how he did that. He truly "accompanied". And embellished too, but sooooooo subtely. So enjoyable. anyway, just sharing my thoughts... :) Em ps: another thought that occured to me, all the songs were copyrighted 1971 except LG which was '67. Seems like such a jump in years, so much happened in those years - but it was only 4. Like 2001 is to "now". And 2001 to now seems like a heartbeat. But I know it took at least 10 years for me to go from 67 to 71. Time lasted longer back then, I think.....

Although Schwartz has borrowed freely from the narrative strategies of those giants, using lyrics to advance the plot and develop characters, his harmony and melodies are audibly influenced by the pop icons of the 1960s and early '70s: the Beatles, Motown, James Taylor, Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell.

Try this, if you dare... 1. Listen to JT's guitar for a couple of hours. 2. Put on California at full volume. The first few phrases are just Joni (including those percussive sounds.) The way I hear it, the very first notes (before the 1st percussive punctuation) are Joni "playing a JT lick" on her dulcimer. On the BBC disc (hi Simon), you can hear him try to play it on guitar and he makes a mistake, twice. She starts "California" instead. That BBC show is da bomb. Sincerely, Jim ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 May 2005 22:24:39 -0400 From: jrmco1@aol.com Subject: Joni Mitchell Discovery Centre in Ottawa? From CanadaNews.com: Ottawa favours cultural centre City urged to use $10 million on River Landing project Rod Nickel The StarPhoenix Wednesday, May 04, 2005 River Landing is in line for a $10-million federal boost, with the federal Western Economic Diversification department pressing the city to spend its centennial funds on a downtown cultural centre. The centre, planned for a roughly two-acre site on the former Gathercole site east of the Idylwyld Freeway, is expected to include a new home for Persephone Theatre, public gathering space, a landmark with an observation deck, other attractions and shops. "We believe that's the best candidate," WED director-general of operations David James said in an interview. "We're going to put federal funding in an envelope and see if the cultural centre comes to a conclusion. We would very likely be interested in making a positive recommendation (to federal ministers)." The cultural centre exemplifies the kind of project Ottawa had in mind for its centennial funding as it's a "landmark facility" that leaves a legacy for generations, James said. "The cultural centre is our No. 1 choice. If in summer it looks like it's coming together, we'll take it forward but if it stalls we'll look at other options." City of Saskatoon has called for expressions of interest from groups interested in space in the centre. Meewasin Valley Authority and Tourism Saskatoon are considering submitting a proposal that would include a Joni Mitchell Discovery Centre, a river interpretive centre and offices for the two agencies. WED administers the distribution of federal centennial funds. It's unlikely to meet resistance from Mayor Don Atchison, who had earlier suggested using centennial funds to build the landmark. "I think there's a good opportunity for it to be spent (on the cultural centre), a good chance of that," he said Tuesday. Authority to decide how to spend the money lies with Ottawa, but it would like to form consensus with the city and community as a whole, James said. At least some city administrators may also support the request. Joe Kuchta, a former Gathercole Initiative Group (GIG) supporter, wrote to city council recently, reporting that a community services official confirmed to him that the money is going into River Landing. Paul Gauthier, the city's general manager of community services, said in an interview that city administrators have formed no consensus on how the money should be spent. Spending the money on River Landing would face a few political obstacles, starting within the mayor's office. Atchison virtually ruled out spending public money on the Gathercole site more than a year ago when it was embroiled in a fierce debate over demolishing the former technical collegiate. "For the life of me, I can't believe we would take federal, provincial or municipal dollars on a site where the private sector has been knocking at the door," he is quoted as saying in the Jan. 16, 2004, StarPhoenix. Atchison's stance is less black and white now. "The money from the federal government that I could not see myself (committing to the site) was to upgrade the Gathercole building itself," he said Tuesday. "We have to get full value for that land. I don't think we should give that land away for free. I'm still interested in people bringing money to the table." The possibility of the city spending public money on the site galls former GIG supporters because part of the city's rationale for demolishing the collegiate was that it would cost too much to restore it. Kuchta couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday. The cultural centre's anchor tenant, Persephone, will raise some of its own construction budget privately, but also has a $1-million city commitment in hand and will tap federal and provincial governments for contributions. A proposed mineral spa on the same site will be privately financed, although it stands to cash in on city downtown housing incentives. To date, public money has gone into developing the old Gathercole site's riverfront, demolishing the collegiate and installing underground infrastructure. The three levels of government committed $29.3 million in December to the west side of River Landing, a site Atchison has always maintained is more needy of government funding than the east site. City councillors may present another obstacle to spending centennial funds on River Landing. Coun. Elaine Hnatyshyn said Monday she's not aware of any decision, while others are more interested in building an Olympic-sized pool than spending federal largesse on River Landing. A use for Regina's share of centennial funds hasn't been publicly announced but it's widely expected to fund an RCMP museum. ) The StarPhoenix (Saskatoon) 2005 ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2005 #131 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
