Thanks Jerry for the scoop on the Callaway cover, I've added it to our page, as well as the BSN I found today from French jazzer Valerie Graschaire, which finally puts me at the 600 mark! Whoo-hoo! Now it's on to 700. Also pretty jazzed about a new cover of "Chinese Cafe" from vocalist Celia Slattery who has a BSN to her credit and digs a bit deeper into Joni's catalog this time around. Plus, if you're in the holiday mood (and retailers certainly hope you are) the 2008 Christmas albums with "River" covers are out there from jazz banjoist Bela Fleck, Sixpence None The Richer and Rosie Thomas - and you know there may be more. And since we're already at mid-month, it's time for another retro-covers issuance, so here is Volume 32, a real potpourri of sounds: http://tinyurl.com/6mj8tv With tracklist as follows: 1. European Jazz Trio - Both Sides Now 2. Marie Fredriksson - For Free 3. Phantoms of Future - This Flight Tonight 4. Calamity Jane - Woodstock 5. Marc-Marie - Both Sides Now 6.

It's been looking pretty bad in the SB area. Hoping you are safe and untouched by the fires.

She is a very gifted jazz vocalist and songwriter. Her songwriterly skill is more Dave Frishberg than Regina Spektor which makes her aB bit anachronistic. I think as 'Carey' is a difficult song to sing if one sings it a la Joni, AHC will acquit herself really well. She did a version of 'Twisted' which is part of Bob's Joni cover catalogue which is extremely well done. B Saw AHC in NYC in 2005 and she is quite, what's the word.... effervescent? Anyway, she is really funny and likes to poke fun at herself. And did I say that she possessed one of the loveliest alto voices in town? Love a female singer with a deep voices.

Saw her NYC a few years back: Tony-nominated singer-actress Ann Hampton Callaway will release her latest solo recording, "At Last," in February 2009. The Telarc Jazz disc, which celebrates romance, will arrive in stores Feb. 3, 2009. Expect original songs as well as tunes by Cole Porter, Stevie Nicks, Harold Arlen, Joni Mitchell, Chick Corea and more. The new recording, according to press notes, "is a mix of jazz standards, versatile pop songs and a couple original tunes, each woven together to create a narrative that is perhaps as cinematic as it is musical." In a statement Callaway said, "I always think of CDs like movies. You wouldn't download one scene from a movie. You want the whole thing, the whole story. An album shouldn't be just a bunch of songs in a sequence that's front-loaded with hits. It's really about creating an emotional journey that starts in one place and ends in a place that's very different." Callaway is backed by pianist Ted Rosenthal, bassist Jay Leonhart and drummer Victor Lewis. Guest musicians include guitarist Rodney Jones, violinist Mads Tolling, saxophonist Teodross Avery, flugelhornist Marvin Stamm, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and percussionist Emedin Rivera. The complete track listing for "At Last" follows: "What Is This Thing Called Love?" - Cole Porter "Comes Love" - Lew Brown, Sammy Sept, Charles Tobias "Carey" - Joni Mitchell "At Last" - Mack Gordon, Harry Warren "Spain" - Arte Maren, Al Jarreau, Joaquin Rodrigo, Chick Corea "Lazy Afternoon" - Jerome Moross, John Latouche "Landslide" - Stevie Nicks "Save a Place for Me" - Ann Hampton Callaway "Over the Rainbow - Yip Harburg, Harold Arlen "Finding Beauty" - Ann Hampton Callaway "On My Way to You" - Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Michel Legrand Not only a singer, Ann Hampton Callaway is also an acclaimed songwriter, whose works have been performed by Barbra Streisand, Patti LuPone and dozens of others. For her Broadway bow in Swing!, Callaway garnered a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, and her many recordings include "Ann Hampton Callaway," "Bring Back Romance," "To Ella with Love" and "After Ours." Callaway is also a recipient of 14 Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC) Awards. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:55:44 +0000 From: William Waddell Subject: Hejira Album Cover Photograph Had never seen this photograph of Joni - the Hejira cover before it was fiddled with.
