After we enjoy and digest "A Travelogue", I would like to see Joni come out with a collection of new songs, written on piano called,
"Phoenix Writing". :) =========== Since Joni was mentioned in USA Today recently, I'll bet there are some new people on the list. If so, I'd like to welcome each of you to post. Why is Joni important to you? To the world? To see all of her lyrics, collected in one place, go to www.jmdl.com/lyrics You may be surprised to find that she's released 21 audio titles in the USA and Canada. If not, you might find a video that you don't yet have at www.jonimitchell.com/jonidiscography.html If not, you should be writing more posts! It's my belief that, like Bob Dylan, Joni's stuff is literature. I think it's completely ripe for scholarly analysis. Here's what lies in the near future: November 2002: "A Travelogue", 2-CD set in stores. Joni took Herbie Hancock, Billy Preston, Larry Klein to London with fresh, symphonic arrangements by Vince Mendoza to revisit some of her most adventurous work. The room, George Martin's Air Lyndhurst Studio, is an audiophile's dream come true. Did I mention that Wayne Shorter came out of semi-retirement for this? January 2003: Alison Ander's film documentary about the making of "A Travelogue", is tentatively scheduled to be released. (A theatrical release? A video for rental? A video for purchase? No one knows yet.) March 2003: In the USA a film about Joni, made by the Public Broadcasting System's (PBS) for their American Masters Series, is due to be aired. All the best, Lama
