Joni Mitchell – The Fez, New York 1986 – Double CD Released 31/05/24

Description

In 1986 Joni Mitchell, joined by jazz drummer Brian Blade of Shreveport, LA, surprised audiences with a performance at New York’s Greenwich Village nightclub, The Fez. This set, from November 6th 1986, was broadcast on WNEW-FM radio and included four new songs as well as favourites from throughout her career. She played her beautiful new green Parker Fly guitar that hooked up to a computer that responds to a foot pedal and can instantly go into any tuning that she’s pre-set. For Joni, this was a welcome addition as she has more than 50 different tunings and typically would change between them 5 or more times during a set.
