kd lang sang 'help me' in the same concert <i wuz there!>.  and in 'joni's
jazz' in central park '99, duncan sheik sang 'court and spark' and chaka
sang the f*ck out of hejira.  <i wuz there, too!>  i actually pulled out my
tapes of joni's jazz this week, inspired by wall to wall, and listened to
the whole show.  what an amazing evening, including some extreme highlights
i'd forgotten about.  toshi reagon opened the show with an absolutely
incendiary 'trouble child' and in the second half, the 'hejira'
play-through, toshi got to sing 'black crow'.  fecking amazing.

back to the unreleased tribute, i wonder if elvis costello put down his
'edith and ' with the Mingus Big Band?  sue mingus, mentioned that the band
had created that arrangement because they worked with elvis c...  that could
be cool, or it could be horrible (costello not the most flexible vocalist
about...)

patrick, who could imagine the tribute album sucking holy pond water, but
still would love to hear it!
