I recently wrote about meeting a Catholic nun who I visited regarding my being overwhelmed by my rage with the Catholic church for the torture and abuse of young children in their care in Ireland and the unfortunate death of someone I knew as a consequence. She invited me to a (mainly silent) retreat which I have just returned from today and was led by the Catholic sister and two Buddhist nuns. The programme alternated between the 5 services a day of the Benedictine order and chanting and meditation with the nuns - none of which were compulsory. The compassion and acceptance of the Buddhist and Catholics nuns towards each other and, beyond all else, their acceptance also of their differences was truly wonderful to witness and be a part of. The nuns of both faiths were finding their own iunique way with (as Joni puts it on 'Bad Dreams') buckets of 'grace, empathy and gratitude' So when I read my digest: Marion (JMDL 318) "It's just that I still feel some bad vibrations from the really bad exchange of words I had with a list member a couple of weeks ago, and I wouldn't ever want to be drawn into anything like that again. I love this list, and I do enjoy Monika's postings -- she is the last person I would want to feel upset about. So this misunderstanding made me sad but it's all cleared up now. Let's all shine on! Love, Marion" I was most heartened. Joni is right about the Catholic church having prisons. They did (and maybe still do). Jeannie, a Catholic, does not collude this. Many other faiths have prisons. If,as Marion says, we can work towards clearing up differences and, as Jeannie says, not defend the undefendable maybe then we can find grace, empathy and gratitude when we are irritated and struggle with each other's differences on this list.

I don't believe you compare Joni to Hitler. I understand what you're getting at. Joni is not necessarily offering up a solution to the planet's problems nor are you. Hitler's solution was clearly not acceptable. The fact is, there are too many of the human species occupying the planet. Eliminating them is not the answer but maybe we can educate people to slow down the birthrate and how to live in a way that's a bit more gentle to our home. You are an authority on history and the first person I would go to on questions of German history. The mention of Hitler's name even 60 years after his death raises hackles. I myself have Jewish ancestry and Hitler was none too fond of gays either. His concern was not even the same as Joni's. He wasn't concerned about the effect of sheer numbers of the delicate environment. The thought probably never crossed his mind. He was only concerned with giving people the answers he thought they wanted to hear in order to gain power. Feeding them the line that only certain types of people had a right to exist. A very different motivation to Joni indeed. I would be greatly saddened to lose your particular voice from this list. I get something from every one of your posts.

Joni is clearly not playing oboes and and flutes or whatever, she is playing a keyboard. But probably not a synthesizer as you might think of it. I believe most of the orchestral and percussive sounds are generated by what are called 'virtual instruments', and are all created, enhanced and mixed in an entirely digital environment. The current Sweetwater catalog has 10 pages of virtual instruments and 'plug-ins' and another 30 pages of plug-in effects for ProTools systems and virtual electronics. Some of this even sounds like it could be "living room' production, later enhanced and finallized at Castle Oaks. By the way, you can browse to www.castleoaksproductions.com and see the studio. It's a ProTools environment. On their splashpage you see a bunch of control-room looking equipment, but the stuff (the fader packs) in the foreground are from Digidesign. These are digital hardware interfaces to computer-based mixing software called ProTools. Then, there 3rd party software-based 'plug-ins' So these sounds are synthesized, but they in all likelihood they're virtual plug-in instruments controlled by a fairly simple keyboard controller, rather than an out-of-box synthesizer as we used to think of them in the Gary Wright days. Buying a Motif or a Korg M3 involves many compromises (the action, the quality of the patches, the display). Virtual instruments allow you to get the very 'best' string sounds and the very 'best' Steinway sound etc, played on the very 'best' keyboard controller (or the one to your liking) with a VGA interface as big as you want it. ProTools recording is truly revolutionary. oh, and go here right away --- http:// www.aglassandahalffullproductions.com/ Chuck ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 14:55:30 +0000 From: Michael Subject: Shine Review - le Soleil Here is an offering from our local paper, tranlated by yours truly http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070929/CPSOLEIL/70928172/-1/CPSOLEIL Saturday, September 29, 2007 Le Soleil Joni Mitchell already shines within the pantheon of popular music. After a silence of almost 10 years, the appearance of Shine is like a blessing. It also serves as a reminder that there are still great artists who are capable of breaking through the barriers of creativity to elicit emotions that are undefined, but related surely to pure rapture. The voice is a little more fragile and the register somewhat more restricted, but all else remains intact. The Canadian has a rare gift that combines writing, composition and interpretation, which is revealed in its full range on Shine. Mitchell offers up an amalgam of folk, pop, avant-garde and jazz (thanks to the saxophonist virtuoso, Bob Sheppard). Fans will find something of the flavour of Blue (1971), without the nostalgia. Mitchells incisive and poetic pen, shaded by a certain gravity, fills with wonder us before bringing us down to earth : the state of our planet, our stupidity and war. With such seeming simplicity, such virtuosity leaves me spellbound. Magnificent. Joni Mitchell brille (dij`) au panthion de la musique populaire. Aprhs un silence de presque 10 ans, la sortie de Shine sapparente ` une binidiction. Il sagit aussi dun rappel : il existe encore de grands artistes pour abattre les barrihres de la criation et susciter une imotion indifinissable  si ce nest quelle sapparente ` un pur ravissement. La voix est un peu plus fragile et le registre ` peine plus restreint, mais tout le reste est intact. La Canadienne posshde ce rare don dicriture, de composition et dinterpritation conjuguies dont Shine en dimontre toute litendue. Elle propose cet amalgame de folk, de pop, davant-garde et de jazz (gracieuseti du saxophoniste virtuose Bob Sheppard). Les fans de la premihre heure y ditecteront des riminiscences de Blue (1971), sans nostalgie. La plume incisive et poitique de Mitchell, teintie dune certaine graviti, nous imerveille avant de nous ramener sur terre : litat de notre planhte, la cupiditi et la guerre... Sous une apparente simpliciti, tant de virtuositi me laisse pantois. Magnifique.

The keyboard may have an automatic calypso type beat that "strums" the rhythm while you hold down your chord, so that would make it 100% synthesizer. The loops make the beat VERY regular and save a lot of wear and tear on the fingertips that have lost all their calluses! Really, Joni should be doing product endorsements for Roland (or Yamaha or whoever makes the keyboard) as she has entrusted a big percentage of her new sound to one darn machine! Nothing dates a record faster than presets on a synth and this one will be no exception. At least the piano on the rest of the album is real, pedal noise and all! Thanks for that. Dave wrote: Umm.

Here' the pertinent part with a link to full article following. "At the same time, she remains even more capable of delivering a heartbreak ballad. Her cover of "A Case of You," a classic penned by fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell, may be the best ever. "I feel like I'm getting more inside that song," says Ms. Krall. "It's like a little play. It's a great play. I was talking to somebody about it just last night, and we were breaking it down, asking, 'Why do I find it such a challenge every single night?' " Incredibly, Ms. Krall is not that content with her recorded version, which appeared on the Live in Paris album five years ago. She's much happier with recent live attempts and looks forward to singing it in Dallas, where a full orchestra will accompany her for the first time in years." link Patti Haskins blog shop photos ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 10:04:38 -0500 From: "Dan Olson" Subject: Re: BYT 2007 instrumentation Thanks for your excellent explanation. I'd like to add that it sounds to me like BYT has acoustic guitar driving the rhythm (as opposed to real or electronic drums). It's good to hear that Joni is able to play it, as it was my understanding that she "quit" (playing acoustic guitar, favoring her electronic one) in the late 90's, due to physical limitations. Also, she plays a great deal of acoustic piano on Shine, something she hadn't done in a very long time. Also, for those who seem to detest electronic drums (drum machines), they are only used in a few of the songs on Shine (as opposed to every song on DED). ~Dan On 10/8/07, Chuck Eisenhardt wrote: > > The orchestral sounds on BYT and on much of Shine are clearly > synthesized (you can tell in the 'decay', which is to say , how the > sounds 'cease to sound').

Shine and River arrived in the same packaging. I have listened to River perhaps ten times more often. I think if there's any judgement left out there in the industry there are about 6 Grammys in this album, and not just in the jazz niche. For my money this is Best Record, Best female vocal (Tina or Norah, take your pick) Jazz Instrumental, Production (Klein and Herbie) arrangement (Klein and Herbie), mastering (Bernie Grundman) and on and on. And Shorter for lifetime achievement, Shorter is the last giant standing. For example, on Court and Spark, Norah Jones comes in like buttah on a hot skillet, unctuous and sizzling. Shorter solos on a four-note motif taken directly from the melody (with a sleeping roll, with a madman's soul, etc) that comes pretty much direct from Coltrane ca. Love Supreme. There are no new melodies, but Joni recycled a good one here, and Shorter quotes it back at her throughout Then there's Edith. I actually wept throughout my first listen to this track. That's about all I can say about it. Well, maybe to ask who else, save Tina, could ever sing this with the authority and depth of feeling and experience? When she sings: '....what does that hand desire/ that he grips it so tight?' it's as if these notes come out of her from *very far away* I have never heard her do anything remotely like that, or anyone else, for that matter. Grammy vocal performance of the year, if there's justice. You might get the idea I like this album...

I'm not as crazy about the Corinne Bailey Rae but probably only because she's in such awesome company here. Lots of better Rivers out there. I think the strength of Tina's performance lies in the restraint as opposed to the diva-ishness of it. Comes off to me as more emotional that way, particularly realizing that she KNOWS what it's like to be controlled by a kingpin.

First there was A Tribute to Joni Mitchell in April, with covers by Bj rk, Prince and Elvis Costello. Now Mitchell has come out of retirement herself with Shine  a fine return (once youve grown used to her new penchant for Eighties synth sounds). But perhaps most striking of the trio is Herbie Hancocks River  The Joni Letters. Striking because the former Miles Davis pianist and writer of Rockit, who has not recorded much of interest lately, coaxes such compelling performances from his cast of star singers  including Norah Jones, Corinne Bailey Rae and Tina Turner. Mitchell herself reprises The Tea Leaf Prophecy and Leonard Cohen growls through The Jungle Line. What inspired Hancock to make his album? Seated in his London hotel suite, he says: I have this amazing respect for Joni  a real renaissance person. She recently wrote a ballet, she has directed film, shes a wonderful painter and writes amazing poetry. Shes very socially conscious and environmentally aware. The pair are old friends in LA. She was my date twice going to parties at Princes home. Prince adores Joni, worships the ground she walks on, so when we walked in the door, his mouth just fell open. Hancock used a core team of Wayne Shorter on saxophones, bassist Dave Holland and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums  and as a result the album has a focus and cohesion that the uneven A Tribute to Joni Mitchell lacks. I heard that Joni didnt like that album very much and I heard she likes this one [ River] very much. Well he would say that. But its a fair bet that Hancocks carefully nuanced efforts will turn up in critics best-of-the-year lists. Tina Turners performance on Edith and the Kingpin will be a revelation to those who have her typecast as an R&B shouter. I went over to her home in Switzerland for her to record that. People havent heard her sound like that. Shes subtle, classy and sophisticated. She really sings. Mitchells tune is a tribute to her mother, telling the story of how a fortune teller predicted her marriage. Joni recorded it before but she changed her mothers first name. But her mother passed away this January  and this time she uses her real name. The album was easier to make because Mitchells music has a lot of jazz in it, says Hancock  and not just the consciously jazzy albums such as Mingus. Right from the start she had chords with 9ths and 13ths, strange flattened fifths in the melodies . . . Shes always been close to jazz. She was very affected by Billie Holiday when she heard her as a child. Hancock, now 67, has been recording for more than 40 years but the River sessions were an education. Jonis genius is with words  and thats a challenge for an instrumental musician who has never really paid attention to lyrics. Hancock chuckles. Before this, I probably knew the lyrics to two songs.

Music critic Bill Flannagan was talking about new albums. The camera panned a few album covers, and one of them was SHINE. Heart flips! He said something like: "...and Joni has a new one..." He called her Joni. Just Joni! I like that. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/07/sunday/main3339826.shtml And how about all the reviews? Holy mackerel and fresh salmon frying! I counted almost 70. More than any other Joni album. TTT has about 30. Joni, Joni, everywhere. Don't you just love it? I was also thrilled to see a review from my very own UConn Daily Campus. Only one other university (USC) had a review (I think). I'll have to contact the writer and invite her to come over and discuss Joni. She ended with this: "What was so amazing about her integration of the music of today, her changing voice and beliefs is not only her shock at society and the adaptation of music to our generation - it was that Mitchell, though evolved and aged, was able to release this music and once again released herself. She continues to stay true to the songstress she was decades ago, even through change. And though it was bitter and gritty, still it had remnants of songs like "A Case of You," which, to this day, is one of the most beautiful songs a female singer/songwriter has written. Mitchell maintains her influential status to this day and die-hard listeners are in for a treat. Revolutionaries and activists beware - Joni Mitchell lives on." Amen.
