Jazz 2025

When Joni Mitchell was finally coerced by her label into releasing a greatest hits compilation (1996's Hits), she did so only under the condition that she could also release a companion album of her favorite tracks that didn't receive such wide acclaim. That album, Misses, was released on the same day and, in addition to acting as a sort of alternate-universe representation of Mitchell's best work, it also gave the world a chance to get a glimpse at how she views her own creative output. This is, after all, the same person who—whenever possible—took the opportunity to call out the craven lack of imagination of the folks that run the music business ("You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio," "Free Man in Paris," "Shiny Toys"), so it's unsurprising that she and those very same suits don't see eye to eye on how best to curate and contextualize her work.

A new compilation from Joni Mitchell featuring some of her proudest recordings. Releasing in April to coincide with Jazz Appreciation Month, this compilation of Joni’s jazz-inflected tracks was envisioned and compiled by the artist herself – a true passion project, years in the making…

“The music – jazz – whose history will be traced here, has often been given up for dead, but a simple observation of the current musical landscape shows that this is not the case. Jazz is very much alive and well, played in clubs, concert halls, and festivals, and every day sees dozens of recordings produced all over the world. While its audience is limited, it is nevertheless regularly renewed. Jazz teaching is flourishing in conservatories, specialized schools, as part of workshops and other master classes. But even more, the word “jazz” is very present and circulating, which is probably the most remarkable indication of the reality of this music, since it is referred to and spoken of.” Laurent CUGNY
