Hejira – Celebrating Joni Mitchell
The Exchange, TW1 1BE , [Venue Details]Hear the iconic songs of Joni Mitchell performed with passion and precision by a band of exceptional musicians.
‘Hejira’ is a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late ‘70s.
Having released the albums ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’, ‘Hejira’, ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ & ‘Mingus’ (regarded as her ‘jazz period’), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius & Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire.
Comprising highly experienced jazz musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has – in her own way – assimilated the poise, power & beauty of Joni’s vocals, but also plays guitar with Joni’s stylistic mannerisms. Expect an evening of the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue, such as ‘Amelia’, ‘Woodstock’, ‘A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’, ‘Edith And The Kingpin’ etc.!
Hattie Whitehead – Vocals & Guitar
Ollie Weston – Tenor & Soprano Saxophones
Chris Eldred – Keyboards
Pete Oxley – Guitar
Dave Jones – Bass
Rick Finlay – Drums
Marc Cecil – Percussion
“Honestly, one of the most perfect voices I’ve heard in ages…this lady’s voice is stunning” Adam Dowling, BBC Radio Kent, 4th April 2024
