After 4 years performing throughout France, our album release concert of Joni Mitchell in Jersusalem will be a festive event. A hot sextet of multi-instrumentalists, great harmonies and Haim Isaacs’ magical baritone voice. This album is jazz-inflected pop gazing at 20th century contemporary music. It’s eleven red roses scattered at Joni’s doorstep.

Haim Isaacs - voice
Frédéric Reynier - piano
Matthieu Baudin - electronic accordion, vocals
Mauro Basilio - cello, oud, vocals
Yann-lou Bertrand - double bass, trumpet, vocals
Jules Lefrançois - drums, tuba, vocals

'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’, ‘Song For Sharon’, ‘Coyote’, 'Free Man In Paris’, ‘In France They Kiss On Main Street’, ‘Hejira’ etc..
