Hejira: Celebrating Joni Mitchell
Hejira is an outstanding 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 crème-de-la-crème of contemporaneous musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the much-lauded live album Shadows And Light; 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 the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue, such as Amelia, Woodstock, A Case Of You, Song For Sharon, Free Man in Paris and more.
