Dear Mario, The first time I heard Joni was by listening to my college roommate's album Court and Spark, and Hissing of Summer Lawns. I was captivated by her. However, I have to agree with you that I like Joni best when she is in her Jazz element. I have never listened to the album, Mingus, but I have heard cuts from it in the live versions which appear on Shadows and Light. (you've got to hear Jaco play live on this!) Then I think about the CD Turbulent Indigo, and I get so confused! I just love everything she does!
