Product Details

The years between 1976 and 1980 represent one of the most restless, ambitious stretches in Mitchell's career, when she was actively dissolving the boundaries between folk, jazz, and avant-garde composition in real time. This is the period that produced Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, and Mingus, three consecutive records that collectively rank among the most daring pivots any major artist has ever made mid-catalog. Nearly 100 unreleased recordings means the gaps between those landmarks finally get filled in.

Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980) Enjoy nearly 100 unreleased recordings tracing Joni's groundbreaking work from the birth of Hejira to her legendary collaborations with jazz luminaries on this 6-CD box set. Featuring newly unearthed demos and studio outtakes from the era, live tour recordings from '76 & '79, and studio session contributions from the likes of Charles Mingus and Herbie Hancock, plus a 36-page booklet of unpublished photos and liner notes in conversation with Cameron Crowe. Units Per Set: 6
