Joni Mitchell - Joni's Jazz - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Limited eight vinyl LP set. Joni's Jazz features tracks from Mitchell's entire career-spanning catalogue, including repertoire from releases with other artists and labels. It is a dedication and a love letter to her greatest collaborators in the genre-Charles Mingus, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorious, and Wayne Shorter among them - and features rare demos, b-sides and alt versions of previously released tracks.

Raw, dark, and full of piercing emotional depth, Collection, the 2nd album from New York trio Patio, - produced and mixed by Nate Amos (Water from Your Eyes, This Is Lorelei) and mastered by longtime collaborator Amar Lal - is a radiant collage of shifting identities, sensory illusions, and deconstructed disco grooves. More complex and purposeful than the fragile post-punk of 2019 debut Essentials, the album reflects transition, conceived to flow from InchdayInch (contemplative opener InchThe SunInch) to InchnightInch (dub-inspired closer InchInheritanceInch). New sonic influences like disco (Donna Summer, The Bee Gees) and 2000s New York indie (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol) evoke freedom and euphoric joy - maintaining the band's signature minimalism, When the members of Patio contemplated the inspirations for their long-awaited second album, Collection, they came up with an eclectic mood board comprising videos and images. A 1977 David Bowie performance of InchHeroesInch on Top of the Pops. Laura Branigan belting InchGloriaInch beneath a sea of disco balls. Masterpieces in marble by Michelangelo and Bernini. Jude Law in The Young Pope. Portraits of iconic superstars A dapper Bryan Ferry, a melancholy Carmela Soprano, Bianca Jagger serving side-eye, and Andy Warhol eating a cheeseburger.

HYBRID SACD OF rich 1974 ALBUM PLAYS WITH SUPERB DETAIL, CLARITY, AND OPENNESSCourt and Spark, the most commercially successful album of Joni Mitchell's trailblazing career, arrived after a year in which she took some time to breathe and kept a low profile. The much-deserved break led to yet more breakthroughs. Demonstrably marking Mitchell's increasing drift toward jazz (and proclivity for absorbing the works of Miles Davis and John Coltrane), and teeming with heightened confidence, beautiful melodies, and shape-shifting arrangements, the rich 1974 record earned four Grammy nominations and was voted the Best Album of the Year in the prestigious Pazz & Jop poll. Court and Spark witnesses the singer-songwriter finding not only her footing with a group of musicians who seemingly understand her visions and desires - but expanding her lyrical palette and venturing further into territory no artist had dared explore. Balancing deceptively light compositions with underlying tensions, the work Rolling Stone named the 110th Best Album of All Time now possesses the rich, detailed sound it's always deserved on Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD.
