- Hejira - Celebrating Joni Mitchell
Hejira is an outstanding 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 and Mingus, Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous musicians (Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, Jaco Pastorius and Don Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the much-lauded live album, Shadows And Light; it is from this work that the band Hejira is drawing the spirit and body of its repertoire.
Comprising highly experienced, world class musicians, Hejira is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has – in her own way – assimilated the poise, power and 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!
“Whitehead is one of the greatest singers I have ever heard” – Jazzwise
“Fronted by guitarist Pete Oxley and vocalist Hattie Whitehead, the Hejira band was a well drilled unit full of brilliant individuals coming together to deliver a music that was bigger than themselves.” – The Jazz Mann
“Anyone who loves Joni will find these performances entrancing” – Lynne Truss (best-selling author and broadcaster)
