Can't wait to check out your new stuff. Hope you have been well. Will be in Chicago area in December with the band. Hope to see you then. best Paz On Sep 9, 2009, at 3:11 AM, frednow@aol.com wrote: The subject header says it in a nutshell. In more than a nutshell, I'm thrilled to tell you all that my new album, SINCE FOREVER, featuring? is finally available. It features ten new songs of mine, a new version of an old song, and one cover, In A Silent Way, a tribute to its composer, Joe Zawinul. The title track is an anthem for the great musician and humanist, a true hero, Pete Seeger, whose life has been testimony to the power of song. Granted, this is not technically Joni-content, except for Steve Rodby (acoustic bass) having played, co- produced, and recorded with Pat Metheny for the last 30 years, and Mark Walker (drums) having played with Lyle Mays, and Paul McCandless (woodwinds) having played and recorded with Jaco. That, and the profound imprint of Joni's music on my own. I'm one of the luckiest composers around to have musicians like Paul, Steve, and Mark bring my music to life, and I can only begin to fully express my gratitude. In addition, Steve's contributions before, during, and after recording have made this album stronger in so many ways. His editing is natural, musical, and seamless, like that of the greatest film and literary editors, and his dedication and passion are limitless. SINCE FOREVER was produced by me and Steve Rodby. It was recorded by Ken Christianson, essentially direct to stereo, 24 bit 96khz digital, on September 2nd and 3rd, 2008 at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall. The album is available in CD format, or as a download (mp3, CD quality, or high definition), here: naimlabel.com/recording-since- forever.aspx Aficionados of?thick black wax LPs should contact The Naim Label (naimlabel.com) and let them know you'd prefer to get SINCE FOREVER on double 180gm vinyl ... if they get enough requests they'll print some up. It's also available at Amazon.com, iTunes, ProMusicaAudio.com, and other fine music stores in your computer and on your street. I've always felt guilty choosing favorites among my albums, and, frankly, every album is my favorite when it's new. But I'm really proud of this new one, and feel that it's some of the best music I've ever made, due in no small part to Paul, Steve, and Mark. I can't wait for everyone to hear it ... hope you dig it as much as I do. All the best, Fred - -Fred Simon http://myspace.com/fredsimon Michael Paz michael@thepazgroup.com Tour Manager Preservation Hall Jazz Band http://www.preservationhall.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:54:01 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Speaking of Synchronicity... Just out there fishing for new covers of Blue Motel Room on the www, and what comes up in my random-track-playing media player? Yep, Joni's original BMR from my favorite album of all time. Kinda blew me away. Oh, and I did find a new BMR cover by Aussie Jazz vocalist Debra Blaquiere - - she had previously covered Michael From Mountians. You can hear her BMR cover here: http://www.debrablaquiere.com.au/albums.htm Chuck Domanico contributes the beautiful acoustic bass on Joni's track - I didn't know anything about him and looking him up online I saw where he passed away in 2002.

Sounds like a bouzouki or balalaika or some similar Near Eastern stringed instrument. There are no attributions on the record that I can see. I'm assuming from that that Joni sings and plays everything, whatever "everything" is. > Also on "Chelsea Morning" is she playing dulcimer as well as guitar, > or is it just guitar? All I can hear is a single guitar. > Everything by Joni (which has always > impressed me - to be able to create on your own a completely > captivating album of songs). Indeed.

I really appreciate it. For "Chelsea Morning," the more I think about it, the more I agree that it's probably her strumming* just the high strings (bottom three strings) with the alt tuning. I would still love to know what she's playing on "Roses Blue". David, I agree it sounds like an Eastern stringed instrument of some kind, and I assume it's her that's playing it as well. Would love to hear if anyone else had any thoughts. - -Corey *Strumming. More like hitting, really. I've always admired the confidence of her attacks when playing guitar.
