as per requested by Chuck...fwding this to la big list.
I also want to take this opportunity to say that I have been contemplating the notion
that to give a critique does not mean that one is criticising. point well taken. When
i said i was somewhat dismayed at the negative feedback about Joni's Travelogue, (as
per judgments raised from the sound snippets online) I was coming from the place of
wishing that people would wait until they had it in their hands/own home stereo
systems before passing judgement. And as someone else pointed out to me, it IS a good
thing we can discuss/dissect and offer up our opinions and thoughts on everything Joni.
life is for learning.

Hi all,
I ran across this Joni reference in 'Stardust
Melodies', by Will Friedwald, which is a great
read on the life and times of 12 monster American
Songbook tunes: Star Dust, My Funny Valentine, etc.
and this bit about Joni's BSN version of Stormy Weather...
"...folk-rock singer songwriter Joni Mitchell delivered
a rendition that surprised me with it's depth and
effectiveness, but which probably was no surprise for
her longtime fans. Mitchell has a burnished voice like
the best of the great jazz ladies, and a more than
persuasive way with a lyric. She obviously grew up with
the 1959 Sinatra reading, for her background arrangement
seems deeply in debt to Gordon Jenkins."
If anyone is so inclined please pass this citation
to the jmdl list, as I am not able to send from this
email account! Thanks!
