Hejira - A Tribute to Joni Mitchell

Hejira is a 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' (regarded as her jazz period), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the creme de la creme of contemperanous jazz musicians. The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album 'Shadows and Light'; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of it's repertoire.

Comprising highly experienced jazz 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.
