To celebrate the 63rd birthday of iconic singer/songwriter Joni
Mitchell, Robin Adler and a specially assembled six-piece band will
perform a night of Mitchell’s music spanning her thirty-plus year
career. Mitchell’s music is presented chronologically in order to showcase
the arc of her multi-phase career which ranged musically from folk to
rock to jazz and will be performed against a backdrop of Mitchell’s
artwork and photos of the artist. The show will be recorded for
possible future CD release and will feature a stellar line-up of
musicians:
Robin Adler, known in San Diego as primarily a jazz vocalist will be negotiating Joni’s challenging music in all its beauty and
complexities, along with husband Dave Blackburn on guitars, vocals
and percussion, Barnaby Finch (keyboardist for Tom Scott, George
Benson, Lee Ritenour and Ronnie Laws) on keyboards and vocals, Roger
Friend on drums and percussion, Paul Carman (ex-Frank Zappa sax man)
on saxophone and 16-year old wunderkind Evan Stumpges on fretless bass.
Date: Saturday Nov 4th 2006
Time: 7pm
Venue: Dizzy’s, 344 Seventh Ave, San Diego, CA.
All ages always welcome
