All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.

Although this incredible live unit never recorded a proper studio album we do have this as a reminder of just what is possible. Joni the folkie briefly became Ms. Mitchell the jazz singer, supported by the formidable talents of Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker and Don Alias. Many of Mitchell's jazz flirtations are given the full treatment with musicians who understood both her and the genre. It is a staggering marriage of talents and wholly successful. There are even obligatory bonus solos from Pat and Don. They should have stayed together for at least another album.

Recorded at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, Santa Barbara, California in September 1979.

Personnel: Joni Mitchell (vocals, electric guitar); Pat Metheny (guitar); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Lyle Mays (keyboards); Jaco Pastorius (fretless bass); Don Alias (drums); The Persuasions (background vocals).

Producers: Joni Mitchell, Henry Lewy, Skip Cottrel.

Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Joni, Jaco and Pat fans must have.
I had this LP and enjoyed it at high volume. I do not consider myself a Joni Mitchell fan but this album has a great mix of rock, jazz, folk and pop. Add to that the energy of a live performance and you have great music. I played my LP and knew I had to find this on CD. The engineering is very good and the sound clear. I did notice some live recording issues that the clarity of the CD shows up that was masked on the LP. What a band: Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, and Michael Brecker. If you have ever liked any of these, then give this album a try. I love jazz and listened to Joni first went she was experimenting with jazz and Mingus' music. So I also have have Mingus and Court & Spark.

4 stars Excellent live Joni!
I have had the vinyl version of this recording for years and it has always been one of my favorite Joni albums. It draws heavily from her "jazz era" recordings with possibly the best band with which she ever toured. I held off on purchasing the cd due to the abreviated version that first appeared (tracks were omitted to keep it to one disc). When I saw that the complete lp was now available on cd I had to have it. The bargain price was an exceptional bonus as well (under $13 for a 2-disc set). If you enjoy Joni and her jazz-influenced music, this is a must have for you.

5 stars Joni's Best Live
I admit it. I am a fan. I have all of Joni Mitchell's recorded output up until about 1981. But after about 1980, Miss Mitchell ran out of relevant subjects to sing about (to me, that is). That notwithstanding, her output previous to 1980 is extraordinary. Both "Miles of Aisles" and "Shadows and Light" are musts for even any "semi-serious" fan. I was at the live shows back then, and these albums capture the essence and excitement as much as possible. Jaco (Patorius, may he rest in peace), Pat and Lyle (Metheny and Mays, may they live long and prosper) musically add to the mix. The sound quality is very good. I recommend both "Shadows and Light" and "Miles of Aisles".

Michael Buble Crazy Love CD  (2009)

Shadows And Light
CD $14.49  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line by line. It's over the top for sure, but Bublé takes you to the edge of the cliff, prepares to jump, and then gives you a knowing wink that says, not quite yet -- there's more fun to be had. And what fun it is with Bublé swinging through "All of Me," and killin' Van Morrison's classic "Crazy Love" with a light and yearning touch. And just as "Home" worked to showcase Bublé's own writing abilities, here we get the sunshine pop of "Haven't Met You Yet" -- a ...

Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD  (2009)

Shadows And Light
CD $12.85  5 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original Latin -- but never ...

Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD  (2009) Digipak

Shadows And Light
CD $13.39  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed it (Emilio Delgado, aka Sesame Street's Luis, duets with Forbes here in Spanish and English). The album's first few tracks are among its most playful, including the slinky ...

CD $8.79  SALE Top 100 Audio Samples
With Peter Hook's departure in 2007, prospects for new material from New Order were looking increasingly dim, so the surprisingly workmanlike Bernard Sumner formed Bad Lieutenant to record his new songs. Sumner looked for help to various sources: latter-day New Order keyboardist Phil Cunningham; bassist Tom Chapman; a young Manchester head named Jake Evans for guitar, vocals, and a little songwriting; plus, on a few tracks, bassist Alex James of Blur and New Order drummer Stephen Morris. Sumner can't help but recall New Order as soon as he puts pen to paper or opens ...

Zoot Sims At The Half Note CD  (2000)

Shadows And Light
CD $10.25
During a long friendship, Zoot Sims and Al Cohn worked together on many occasions, and this 1965 broadcast from New York City's Half Note is one of many examples of how well they complemented one another's playing. Pianist Roger Kellaway, bassist Bill Crow and drummer Mel Lewis make up their potent rhythm section. The only well known piece is "The Red Door" (jointly written by Sims and Gerry Mulligan), the remaining songs are fairly obscure, with "Doodle Oodle" being a variation of "Sweet Georgia Brown," while "Saratoga Hunch" was written during this period by Dave Frishberg specifically for Sims and Cohn. Unfortunately, this CD is plagued with unexpected volume surges and fades in several tracks, especially in the middle of Roger Kellaway's solo in "Doodle Oodle." The music is worth hearing, but beware of ...
