Hejira

About

‘Hejira’ is an outstanding 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni
Mitchell, mostly from the late ‘70s. Having released the albums ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’,
‘Hejira’, ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter ’ and ‘Mingus’, Joni then toured briefly with a band formed
from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and
Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the much-lauded live album, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from
this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire. Comprising highly experienced,
world class musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has – in
her own way – assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joni’s vocals, but also plays guitar with
Joni’s stylistic mannerisms. Expect an evening of the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue,
such as ‘Amelia’, ‘Help Me’, 'A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’, 'Free Man in Paris’ etc.!
