Joni Mitchell Tribute

On Sunday, December 22nd, I was part of a top-notch band paying tribute to Joni Mitchell. It was a great group of players: Mike Visiglia on bass, Thad DeBrock on guitar and Scott Chasolen on keyboards. The band was put together and led by singer and actress Hannah Reimann.

We played a combination of Hannah’s originals but most of the material was from Joni Mitchell’s album Court and Spark and the live album, Miles of Aisles.

The material was challenging: we played:
Court and Spark
Free Man in Paris
Help Me
People’s Parties
Woodstock (live version)
Rainy Night House (live version)

It was a really fun gig and I gained new appreciation for John Guerin, the drummer on those albums. Guerin’s playing is loose and grooving. Any of you who don’t know him should have a listen. Great player.
