Joni and Charles: The Black Saint and the Singer Lady�
A bold, genre-defying celebration of two towering creative forces—Joni Mitchell and Charles Mingus.
This unique project dives deep into the unexpected yet powerful synergy between Mitchell’s poetic lyricism and Mingus’s visionary jazz. From the songs they co-wrote to daring reinterpretations of their solo works, this concert captures the elegance, urgency, and creative friction that defined their art.
Joni and Charles present a vibrant dialogue between two uncompromising musical visionaries, merging striking beauty, lyrical tension, and daring improvisation. Get ready for a journey as intricate as it is intimate—where nothing is predictable, and everything pulsates with life.
With a stunning line-up, comprising the award-winner Ilaria Crociani, the sophisticated horns of Ashley Ballat and Mirko Guerrini, the pulsating bass of Jonathan Swartz and the immense drumming from Niko Schäuble, this concert is something you won’t easily forget.
