Hejira play Joni Mitchell

Celebrating Joni Mitchell, this 7-piece band ‘Hejira’ performs the greatest works of the genius singer-songwriter. Fronted by the singer Hattie Whitehead, these world-class jazz musicians capture the poetry, passion, and beauty of Mitchell’s masterpieces.

‘Hejira’ is a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the 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’ (regarded as her ‘jazz period’), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire.

Expect an evening of the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue, such as ‘Amelia’, ‘Woodstock’, ‘A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’, ‘Edith And The Kingpin’
