Ladies and gentlemen -- get ready for something truly special: Scotland's best jazz musicians meet one of the greatest songwriters ever. The
Colin Steele Quartet
plays the music of
Joni Mitchell
. The music of Joni Mitchell gets the royal jazz treatment in exciting new arrangements. Timeless classics from the Mitchell songbook -- "Blue", "Both Sides Now", "Hejira", "A Case Of You", etc. -- sparkle with fresh energy in a classic jazz quartet setting. Mitchell always had a deep affinity with jazz -- working with
Charles Mingus
on his album
Mingus
(1979) and many other jazz luminaries, like
Herbie Hancock
and
Wayne Shorter
. Her songs are just perfectly suited for getting re-interpreted in a jazz setting. Colin Steele adds his very own sound with his warm, melodic playing to Joni's songs and transports them into another musical territory. The results are simply gorgeous. Colin Steele from Edinburgh, one of UK's leading jazz trumpeters, is accompanied by the same top-notch musicians as on his
Diving For Pearls
album (MA 082CD/LP, 2017), his beautiful take on the
Pearlfishers
songbook:
Calum Gourlay
on double bass,
Alyn Cosker
on drums, and pianist
Dave Milligan
, who also arranged the album brilliantly. Dedicating an album to just one composer is a great jazz tradition:
Miles Davis
did it with
Gershwin
's
Porgy & Bess
(1958) and
Chet Baker
with
Plays Lerner & Loewe
(1959). And now there's the CSQ playing Joni.
Joni
was recorded in just one day -- like many classic jazz albums -- at Scotland's famous Castlesound studios (
The Blue Nile
,
Orange Juice
,
R.E.M.
) Masterfully engineered by
Stuart Hamilton
. CD version comes in digisleeve; includes one bonus track.
