'Summertime' from Newport 2022 released today

Posted July 21, 2023

The first song Joni Mitchell sang at a “Joni Jam” - the intimate gathering of friends she and Brandi Carlile hosted during her recovery from a brain aneurysm - was George Gershwin’s “Summertime.” Today, Rhino has unveiled a mesmerizing new performance of the tune, recorded live during Mitchell’s surprise return to the stage at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival. The entire At Newport live album will be available on July 28 - Newport Folk Festival 2023 weekend - via the official store.
