Joni Mitchell introduces Joni's Jazz, a passion project years in the making. This career-spanning collection features recordings chosen by Mitchell that reflect jazz’s profound influence on her music.
Spanning 61 tracks, Joni's Jazz includes studio recordings, live performances, rare alternate takes, and material drawn from multiple decades and record labels, among them are two previously unreleased 1980 demos.
The set features contributions from some of Mitchell’s most important collaborators in jazz, among them Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock and Charles Mingus. Mitchell, who calls Shorter her favourite collaborator, dedicates the collection to him following his passing in 2023.
Covering nearly every era of her recording career, the collection includes selections from Songs to a Seagull, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Mingus, Turbulent Indigo, Both Sides Now (a 2001 Grammy Award winner) and more. It also features her guest appearances on projects like Hancock’s Grammy Award-winning album, River: The Joni Letters.
Across the collection, the music follows Mitchell’s artistic growth — from the rhythmic layering of “Harry’s House / Centerpiece” to the bold experimentation of “The Jungle Line,” the narrative scale of “Paprika Plains,” and the airy, improvised feel of “A Chair In The Sky.”
It draws from more than five decades of Mitchell’s recordings, going back to 1968 for “Marcie,” from Song to a Seagull. The most recent is her performance of “Summertime,” recorded live at the 2023 Newport Folk Festival. It marked Mitchell’s first full-length concert in over two decades — a powerful return that resonated around the world.
As a self-portrait in sound, Joni's Jazz captures an artist in conversation with jazz over a lifetime — never imitating, always inventing. Last year, in the liner notes for Joni Mitchell Archives - Vol. 4, she joked, “People ask me my favourite of my albums, it’s going to be Joni’s Jazz.” Now it is.
