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.

Shadows And Light Music Review

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".
