Hejira - Celebrating the Music of Joni Mitchell
Hejira - Celebrating the Music of Joni Mitchell
Hejira is a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honor the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late 70s.
Having released the albums Court And Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira, Joni toured briefly in 1979 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 outstanding live recording, Shadows And Light; it is from this period that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire.
Comprising highly experienced, world-class musicians, Hejira 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.
