<\/div>\n

A Joni Mitchell<\/a> tribute album, celebrating her 75th birthday, will feature live renditions of the singer\u2019s songs by Brandi Carlile<\/a>, Norah Jones, Chaka Khan, James Taylor<\/a> and many others. The record, Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration<\/em>, will come out on March 8th. It contains a recording of a tribute concert that was held in her honor in Los Angeles last November.<\/p>\n

The concert will additionally be broadcast in movie theaters on February 7th. Tickets are available at the Joni 75 website<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Percussionist Brian Blade, who made three studio albums and toured with Mitchell, served as the evening\u2019s co-musical director alongside producer and arranger Jon Cowherd.<\/p>\n

The evening was presented by the Music Center, a non-profit organization that tries to bring artists and communities together with an eye toward enriching the lives of people living in Los Angeles County. \u201cBy honoring Joni Mitchell, an amazing iconic artist, the Music Center had an incredible opportunity to bring her music to Los Angeles audiences,\u201d the organization\u2019s president and CEO, Rachel Moore, said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cNow that experience can be enjoyed by many more Joni Mitchell fans with an album that allows other music legends to shine a light on her artistry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone<\/em> reviewed the concert and called it a \u201cmoving tribute show.\u201d \u201cThe unifying effect of Mitchell\u2019s music rang out with a closing group singalong to \u2018Big Yellow Taxi,\u2019 one of the more ebullient standouts from her oeuvre,\u201d the review reads. \u201cThe billed artists stood side by side \u2026 and belted the number, a bright rumination on the harrowing effects that man has on society. They each delivered solos, then bowed in unison, as a portrait of Mitchell loomed in the background, a fitting homage to an icon whose presence is still felt, even in her absence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell herself, who has been battling health issues, did not take the stage at the event.<\/p>\n
