Hejira - Celebrating Joni Mitchell

Hejira is a seven-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late 70s. Having released the albums The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan?s Reckless Daughter and Mingus, Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the cr?me de la cr?me of jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias).\n The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album Shadows and Light ? and it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire. Comprising highly experienced world-class musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has ? in her own way ? assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joni?s vocals, but also plays guitar with Joni?s stylistic mannerisms. Expect an evening of great songs from Mitchell?s back catalogue, such as ?Amelia?, ?Woodstock?, ?A Case Of You?, ?Song For Sharon?, ?Edith And The Kingpin? and more.\n ?Whitehead is one of the greatest singers I have ever heard? ? Jazzwise\n ?Fronted by guitarist Pete Oxley and vocalist Hattie Whitehead, the Hejira band was a well drilled unit full of brilliant individuals coming together to deliver a music that was bigger than themselves.? ?
