Joni Mitchell introduces JONIS JAZZ, a passion project years in the making. This career-spanning collection features recordings chosen by Mitchell that reflect jazzs profound influence on her music.

Spanning 61 tracks, JONIS JAZZ includes studio recordings, live performances, rare alternatetakes, and material drawn from multiple decades and record labels, among them are two previously unreleased 1980 demos.

The set features contributions from some of Mitchells most important collaborators in jazz,among them Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and Charles Mingus. Mitchell,who calls Shorter her favorite collaborator, dedicates the collection to him following his passingin 2023.

Covering nearly every era of her recording career, the collection includes selections from SONGS TO A SEAGULL, THE HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS, HEJIRA, MINGUS, TURBULENT INDIGO, BOTH SIDES NOW (a 2001 GRAMMY Award winner), and more. It also features her guest appearances on projects like Hancocks GRAMMY Award-winning album, RIVER: THE JONI LETTERS.

Across the collection, the music follows Mitchells artistic growth from the rhythmic layeringof Harrys House / Centerpiece to the bold experimentation of The Jungle Line, the
narrative scale of Paprika Plains, and the airy, improvised feel of A Chair In The Sky.

It draws from more than five decades of Mitchells recordings, going back to 1968 for Marcie, from SONG TO A SEAGULL. The most recent is her performance of Summertime, recorded live at the 2023 Newport Folk Festival. It marked Mitchells first full-length concert in over twodecades a powerful return that resonated around the world.

As a self-portrait in sound, JONIS JAZZ captures an artist in conversation with jazz over a lifetime never imitating, always inventing. Last year, in the liner notes for JONI MITCHELL ARCHIVES VOL. 4, she joked, People ask me my favorite of my albums, its going to be Jonis Jazz. Now it is.
