I’d like to share my passion for Joni Mitchell with you.
Born in New York, my family immigrated to Israel when I was 12 years old. It was there that I first heard Joni’s music. She immediately seeped into my bones.
Morning, noon, and night I walked the streets of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho, singing her songs. Later, in Paris, she hovered over my left should as I composed.
Our jazz quartet celebrates Joni. Each musician is a multi- instrumentalist creating rich soundscapes. Three voice harmonies abound. Between the songs I tell stories of H, a teenager in Jerusalem in the 70’s, bewitched by Joni.
