| | Joni Mitchell Shadows And Light CD Joni Mitchell Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
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 ... Full Descriptionthe 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.
Hide Description Joni Mitchell Shadows And Light Songs Shadows And Light Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 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.

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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  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".

Shadows And Light album
 $15.29  
Still enamored of the concept of the concept album more than four years after AMERICAN IDIOT, Green Day unveiled its rock-opera sequel, 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN, in 2009. Like its predecessor, BREAKDOWN wholeheartedly embraces the iconic punk-pop act's shift to a stadium-filling sound, while also remaining loyal to the San Francisco-based trio's progressive sociopolitical outlook. Even with a president in the White House that outspoken frontman Billie Joe Armstrong supports, he still finds plenty to rail against, with much of BREAKDOWN alluding to the earlier Bush years of the new millennium, particularly the surging, Queen-like title track.
Aiding Armstrong and his comrades in their sonic attack against conservative authority is renowned producer (and Garbage member) Butch Vig, best known for helming Nirvana's NEVERMIND. Completely in sync with Green Day's grand vision, Vig helps to create the huge spaces for the band to construct their anthems, as best ...
| | Sonic Youth Eternal CD (2009)
Shadows And Light CD music
$11.98 
Undoubtedly the most influential American indie group of the late 20th century and beyond, Sonic Youth has seldom wavered in their embrace of underground music and culture even as their move in the 1990s to Geffen brought with it a decidedly more mainstream listenership. While the carefully orchestrated squall and skewed melodicism of late major-label efforts SONIC NURSE (2004) and RATHER RIPPED (2006) marked a dramatic departure from the fiery noise anthems of old, THE ETERNAL, Sonic Youth's 2009 album for Matador, is a welcome return to a familiar, back-to-basics approach.
On THE ETERNAL, SY sound at once revitalized and limbered by the move back to an indie, with Thurston, Kim, and company revisiting familiar tropes--gales of blistering guitar noise, acerbic power pop riffs, and ruminative spoke-sung recitations--with the sharpened edge of a band wised at their twilight years. While these elder statesmen won't be kicking up teenage riots anymore, ...
| | Mars Volta Octahedron CD (2009)
Shadows And Light music CDs
$11.18
For punk, metal or hard rock bands, the unplugged album is the one that shows whether they've been succeeding simply on energy and volume, or because of real talent. (Anyone who remained a skeptic of Kurt Cobain's songwriting skills must have been converted by Nirvana's MTV UNPLUGGED masterpiece.) And OCTAHEDRON, a quieter and more subdued Mars Volta album, proves that same fact for a band that's perpetually lived on a knife's edge of tension. Recorded in less than a month, OCTAHEDRON is by no means an unplugged album--it's not acoustic, it's not confined to ballads, and includes consecutive hard rockers in "Cotopaxi" and "Desperate ...
