Well, we made it! Thanks to alert jazzlover & dedicated Joni coverhound Joseph Palis, we hit the major 1000 milestone with:
"Twisted" by Stella Ignacio, from "Jazzette" - 1996 "FOUL!!" You cry... "OFF WITH HIS HEAD" shouts the angry mob... "JONI DIDN'T WRITE TWISTED" offers the scoffing purist...to which the VP of Covers responds: Well, this is true...BUT Stella has stated that Joni was her inspiration for this recording, and indeed you can tell it when the muted trumpet sounds at the start all the way to the multi-tracked vocals at the end. This one is PURE Joni cover! (The mob backs down, lowers their torches and disperses peacefully...) Thanks Joseph for being my ears & eyes in the Pacific rim! And a MAJOR thanks to all who have helped me identify & collect all this information and music - we can give ourselves a well-deserved hand! Now on to the next 1000 (but don't worry, I shant bore you with the count)...until we get to 1990! ;~) Bob NP: Tracey Campbell, "Big Yellow Taxi" (awesome sultry jazz piano version)
