12 Songs by Joni Mitchell |
|
A brilliant combination: Joni Mitchell, the iconic American singer-songwriter and commuter between pop, jazz and folk music, inspires the internationally renowned bassist and composer Peter Herbert to embark on a reinterpretation of her songs. String quartet, bass, electronics and vocals meet on an equal footing, and in a concerted effort bring out the dazzling beauty of Joni Mitchell’s songs from an entirely new angle. A contemporary tribute to one of the most influential musicians in pop music history, one who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside the Jackson 5 and the Bee Gees.
