'The Music Midnight Makes' - Edel Meade sings Joni Mitchell

PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 12 February 2012

Joni Mitchell is one of the most celebrated artists of the last half century and forty-one years after the release of her landmark album, Blue, Dublin-based vocalist and composer, Edel Meade pays tribute to the legendary singer/songwriter.

Few artists have shaped the landscape of popular music as much as Joni Mitchell. Her poetry, insight and originality have influenced so many that contemporary song-writing without her is unimaginable.

Edel has embarked on a project to look at new ways of exploring Mitchell’s vast catalogue of moving and evocative material; songs that will break your heart, highlight social injustice and provoke thought, with beautifully composed chord structures, intriguing melodies and poetic lyrics.

Noted for her uninhibited and expressive vocals, Edel will be singing some of Mitchell’s most treasured songs, All I Want, A Case of You, Woodstock, and Big Yellow Taxi. This performance however doesn’t limit itself to Mitchell’s Blue period; it embraces her jazzy excursions with jazz giants, Wayne Shorter, Charles Mingus and Jaco Pastorius on songs like Goodbye Porkpie Hat, Twisted, Be Cool and will include some of Meade’s own original songs, influenced by Mitchell’s deeply personal compositional style. 

“A unique voice dripping with soul...”
Ian Shaw, BBC award-winning jazz vocalist

"a wonderful young Irish songwriter..."
Honor Heffernan, Ireland's leading jazz vocalist
