Just love this recently released version of "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell featuring Herbie Hancock on piano and The Persuasions, Tom Paxton, Odetta, Bob Gibson & Hamilton Camp on vocals; and an unkown person on pan flute. Recorded live from the 1978 Bread & Roses festival.

@linos That's so cool! I'm not too familiar with what she plays, but I must've watched or listened to Shadows And Light a couple dozen times by now... if you have any more recommendations, I'd love to hear 'em :D

For those who don't know – Shadows And Light is her 1980 Live album featuring many of the same tunes, supposedly recorded while on tour with #Mingus. It's a playful but deeply touching collaboration with The Persuasions and several Jazz icons – including Michael #Brecker, Pat #Metheny and Jaco #Pastorius. Over the course of about 80 minutes, #Joni and the others make you feel just about every emotion there is.

When I watched it for the first time, I was honestly a bit offended – it felt like when a friend excitedly recounts an outing that you would've _loved_ to be a part of – had anybody told you ahead of time :l

I felt I'd missed out & I don't want y'all to feel that way. Here's to the long-running conversation between #Jazz and #Folk – Cheers! ^^
