In September 2005 PBS "American Masters" series will cover Bob Dylan. Martin Scorsese (a perennial music buff) directed. (!) http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/dylan_b.html If you're into it, you might read "Chronicles, vol 1" (Dylan's loosely disorganized autobiography) before the airing. Anyway JMDLers, when you get home from JoniFest in the south of France, test out that TiVo, DVD-burner, or VCR. Check your local listings. Your mileage may vary. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.

From the 3 albums I have of her (C&S, FTR, Blue), I think she makes a great use of brass. My favorites from the first two (since Blue has none) are Car On A Hill (this has her best use of horns/woodwinds), Help Me (the instrumental at the end?! slammin) , Barangrill (the flutes make this song), Let The Wind Carry Me (great call-and-response with her vocals), and Trouble Child (love the muted trumpet at the end). I would love to know other people's opinions. Tired of spam? Yahoo!

There is a very delicate interplay between strings and woodwinds that is like chamber music. I especially like the solo clarinet towards the end. I also love the horns in 'Dry Cleaner From Des Moines', Mingus version. The live version on Shadows and Light also has some smokin' sax work from Michael Brecker. Love Wayne Shorter's sax at the end of 'Paprika Plains'. Travelogue has several. My favorite is the horns in 'Judgement of the Moon and Stars'. Also 'Be Cool' and I love the horn solo at the beginning of 'Love'.

Also A Bird That Whistles. Just Joni and Klein being indulgent to Wayne Shorter and overlaying multiple saxophone tracks over each other.

Live, I enjoy the call & response between Tom Scott & Joni on "You Turn Me On..." and of course on S&L there's all those smokin' sax licks from Michael Brecker, particularly on Dry Cleaner but throughout the whole gig in general.

You reminded me of 'Harry's House/Centerpiece'. From that first downward swoop and throughout this cut, the use of the horn section is masterful. Nothing particularly dramatic or showy but providing just the right accents in all the right places. Subtle, tasteful and sublime.

It included this: "When did the significant pop/rock lyric die? It was famously forged in the 1960s, on the anvil of a rich and vital folk tradition, and was in good condition for most of the 1970s, from the ravishing poetry of Joni Mitchell's Hejira in mid-decade, to the three-minute menace of the early Clash at its end. We began to see a palpable decline in the 1980s, when the yearning for significance began to become embarrassing." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 21:32:04 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: shawn colvin this is definately about joni now >Delurking briefly to chime in in support of Shawn Colvin. I love "A Few Small Repairs" too and I think it is a creative peak but I am sure there are fans out there of her other albums.< Joseph you are back in manila?... nice to hear from you! I should probably be writing this to the 'small repairs' list but that album, as much as I loved it was too me a plateau of what she had previously released... Stepping into the time machine... somewhere in the late 80's I picked up the paper & read the most intriguing interview with a songwriter who would be playing at very small venue that very night & who cited joni Mitchell & the beatles as her influences... I knew I had to be there... shawn did not disappoint... those who were there still speak about that funky show where we all sat on the floor & you could have heard a pin drop... as we listened to the remarkable voice & songs of someone we had never heard of or heard before (on the west coast- shawn had honed her skills for years in nyc I later learned).... she was right on the cusp of her skyrocket to becoming well known... steady on then fat city then cover girl were as influential to me as any of joni's albums... after a decade of feeling lost shawn renewed my hope in what joni first delivered... karla & rickie lee & emmylou many others were in there to keep the fire burning too.. kate www.katebennett.com ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2005 #206 ********************************* ------- 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?
