yeah, and it's really exciting. i don't know if you knew this, but 'be cool' and 'trouble man' were part of the sets for the 2000 bsn orchestra tour, and they were amazing... i mourn a little bit for the losses in joni's range and tone, but one of the few things one can improve with age is one's rhythmic acuity and subtlety, and joni's been doing that. it's fecking exciting! >I'd like to hear her do >more work along the lines of her recording with the Kyle Eastward group's >Trouble Man. an album that's been in my player a lot this week. i'm in such agreement. have you ever heard etta james' 1994 'mystery lady'? it's just the tightest, most wonderful album of standards (in this case, associated with billie holiday) i've gotten in the last decade. would be such a good direction for joni to go... sorry listers who've heard me natter on about this album so many times before... patrick np - cesaria evora - eponymous
