Welcome Emiliano! Oh, yes, the world situation is grave. At some point some political discussions will probably pop up here again. For now, it's pleasant I think to take a break from it (on the list, not possible in reality).
The show about Joni does sound great! The recent posts are the first time I've seen any details about it. There may be a way to purchase the show, or if not, maybe copies will be shared. Stay tuned to the list for the most up-to-date info... Mingus was a "challenge" for me, too. It wasn't the jazz that put me off or that Joni was trying something different, since her experimenting is one of the things I most respect about her. To my hearing, her precise, folk-type voice didn't fit the music. Her voice didn't seem loose or rich enough, so it all sounded rather jarring to me then. I may need to do a re-listen or two for my Joni homework. There are plenty of people on the list who love it. Since you jumped back onto the metaphorical train at Turbulent Indigo, you may have missed Night Ride Home, which came out in 1991. That cd got me enthused about Joni again, after not enjoying her 1980s fuzzy sounding cds very much. NRH is clear sounding and romantic, and as she says, it's a happy cd, with lots of c major chords. If you've missed that one, it may be a pleasant Joni discovery for you. I'm in complete agreement with you on your "Great and Sacred masterpieces." They are masterpieces indeed, along with a few others (most of what she's done I think), and most people here would agree with you, too, so you're in "understanding" company. Again, welcome to the list and thank you for your introduction. It appears from your NP that you could introduce people here to some new music. Right away, I'm intrigued by the title "Miss perfumado"... all the best, Debra Shea Emiliano Patiqo wrote: > > Wow!
