This 4CD or 8LP edition features recordings chosen by Mitchell that reflect jazz’s profound influence on her music, liner notes with rare and previously unseen photos, and original artwork by Mitchell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanning 61 tracks, \u003cem\u003eJoni’s Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMitchell, who calls Shorter her favorite collaborator, dedicates the collection to him following his passing in 2023. “It was a joy to play with him,” she writes. “He will be missed, but he will remain alive for me in this music.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovering nearly every era of her recording career, the collection includes selections from \u003cem\u003eSongs To A Seagull\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Hissing of Summer Lawns\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHejira\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMingus\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTurbulent Indigo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBoth Sides Now\u003c\/em\u003e (a 2001 Grammy Award winner), and more. It also features her guest appearances on projects like Hancock’s Grammy Award-winning album, \u003cem\u003eRiver: The Joni Letters\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross 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 \u003cem\u003eSong To A Seagull\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a self-portrait in sound, \u003cem\u003eJoni’s Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eJoni’s Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e.” Now it is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhino","offers":[{"title":"4CD","offer_id":52520251621707,"sku":"R6618-2334","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8LP - Black","offer_id":52520251654475,"sku":"R6618-8388","price":199.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/JonisJazzVinylSlipcaseCover_1_ae8c2516-4669-4c9a-bf86-d72afbf9c7eb.jpg?v=1752322931","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/jonis-jazz","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
