She smolders and it's almost as if joni wrote the song for her.. It's priceless!! now, funny enough(great minds think alike i guess Laura), My favorite is also Leonard Cohen and the Jungle Line..I am not a huge fan of his yet(mostly know him from tori amos' amazing! cover of famous blue raincoat) and I am not sure if he actually sang much on his previous recordings but the spoken word fits it sooo perfectly! I can only imagine how proud joni was to hear this record for the first time..I know there have been tributes before but this one comes from a place very close to her.A close friend like herbie.. Imagine if it had sucked(impossible I know) However talk about a strain in teh friendship..haha..Lucky herbie rarely misses! Does anyone know if herbie every "produced" anything Joni released? I 've always imagined the Mingus sessions to be a group effort with Joni at the helm. Laura Stanley wrote: Kevin wrote: I am not sure if this has been discussed yet..If so I missed it and am sorry.. But there is a new interview with Herbie Hancock on Tavis and it's very good. They both speak very highly of Joni and Herbie offers some new insight.. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71geVsNJkUQ Thanks Kev! Very cool interview. What is your favorite piece on the Joni Letters? Mine at present is The Jungle Line. The piano is so captivating and interesting weaved together with Cohen's deep voice.

Just listen to There ain't no cure for love, or So long Marianne, or Susanne or...or...Joni and Leonard are the two singers/songwriters I have appreciated most all my adult life, since the late sixties. They are voices in my head:-) (I like Dylan, too, but he never sang very well so his voice is not that memorable to me). Must admit I haven't heard The Jungle line on River yet, though. I did read that LC reads it rather than sings it. Hope you all had a nice weekend, Marion - -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fren: owner-onlyjoni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-onlyjoni@smoe.org] Fvr KEVIN DOHENY Skickat: den 17 februari 2008 21:24 Till: Laura Stanley; joni@smoe.org Dmne: RE: Herbie/Tavis Smiley The first to catch my ear was Tina singing Edith and The Kingpin!!
