Joni’s Jazz is a 4CD/8LP collection personally curated by Joni Mitchell, tracing jazz’s profound influence on her music. Spanning 61 tracks across five decades, it features studio cuts, live performances, alternate takes, and two unreleased 1980 demos, with contributions from Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, Charles Mingus, and more. Dedicated to Shorter, the set includes selections from Song to a Seagull through Both Sides Now, plus Mitchell’s 2023 Newport Folk Festival performance of “Summertime.” With rare photos, liner notes, and original artwork, Joni’s Jazz is both tribute and self-portrait — an artist in lifelong dialogue with jazz.
