When Speechless came on, i felt very blessed to have heard this (pre-strings) via a tape tree, several years before it was officially released. I want to thank simon publicly (and again), for enriching my appreciation of Joni's talents, her team's talents, and for the connectedness of the JMDL. For example, he helped educate and entertain Karen O'Brien when she was researching her biography. Many know that he made lots of contributions to the site, but he also built a timeline for Susan Lacey (winner of 14 Emmys) when she was researching the American Masters film on Joni. Simon, ive never met you in person, but you rock.

Interesting to read. I like Joni's drummers Guerin on C&S, Don Alias and especially Alex Acuna on Passion Play.Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 16:43:25 -0800 From: Betsy Blue Subject: The New Face of Saint Laurent What do you guys think about Joni's new modelling gig? I'm in favor. Betsy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 22:03:17 -0700 (MST) From: est86mlm@ameritech.net Subject: New Video added to Library: Billboard Century Awards Title: Billboard Century Awards Los Angeles, CA 1995-12-9 Billboard honors Joni with its highest accolade, the Century Award for distinguished creative achievement.

The Century Award,designed by jeweler/sculptor Tina Marie Zippo-Evans, is a unique work of art as well as an emblem of artistic supereminence. In homage to Joni, this 1995 lyre is of solid silver adorned with topaz (Joni's birthstone). http://jonimitchell.com/library/video.cfm?id=384 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 16:40:48 +0000 From: c Karma Subject: re: Robben Ford quotes Dave wrote: I agree that the piano writing and the language she created on piano, was very special, and totally unlike her guitar writing - almost a different composer. On piano, her left hand technique of rolling eighth note arpeggios, was very plain and undeveloped, but what she played against it, rhythmically and harmonically, was really different. That is some of what I would talk about if I get to present at the Lincoln Symposium. I generally agree with that assessment, except that I feel that some of the rhythmic and dynamic accents she tosses into her piano (with both hands) is a similar take on her extremely unique loose right hand guitar style ("Paprika Plains vs. "Cotton Avenue", or "One Week Last Summer" vs. "If.") On the piano side, a great number of pieces illustrate Dave's note of her ambidextrous counterpoint. The pieces (for me) that I feel show it easily are "Blue", "Down To You", "Judgement of the Moon and Stars" and "If I Had A Heart." There are two on HOSL and one on C&S, though that completely blow me away in that her voice adds a third rhythmic/melodic element that is like flavors melding in a slow cooker. On these tracks, the band anchors while her piano and voice vapors curl and rise: "Shades of Scarlet Conquering" and "The Boho Dance" from HOSL and "Car On A Hill" from C&S. When other orchestral and band elements are added they often join in unison with the piano line and then separate each taking turns to welcome the other back, like dancers. Ballet analogy, anyone? (Wayne Shorter's sax notwithstandingthat's Pas de deux.) It bears noting that Jaco didn't appear much on her piano trackshis fretless sound was too sustained and melodic in most places. Her piano technique seems tilted toward more rhythmic bassists. In the rare instances where he appeared on a piano track, her piano became a rhythmic element.

I like the hat.Had enough Issey Miyake pleats and GAP denim, I guess.A little surprised that the chosen association was to place her in the "Folk Tunic" and that she was down with that and the guitar. She actually let herself be paid a somewhat narrow homage, I think. Some reports say the relationship started with Saint Laurent over a music project. Hmmm.

Complements Joni's sound very well. For my money that Shadows & Light touring band from 1979 can't be beat.
