"Shadows And Light" - Pat Metheny, Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker

The whole stage is covered with jazz masters and describing that is pointless; only listening will tell it.



Joni Mitchell - electric guitar, vocals
Pat Metheny - lead guitar
Jaco Pastorius - bass
Don Alias - drums
Lyle Mays - keyboards
Michael Brecker - saxophone
The Persuasions - backing vocals on "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" & "Shadows and Light"
Toller Cranston - skates
Andy Johns - engineer 

"Shadows and Light" is Joni Mitchell's 1980 double live album, recorded at the Santa Barbara County Bowl in September 1979 on the Mingus tour.

Joni Mitchell is another of the great poets of the period and you will likely will be surprised by the set.  You may find you listen out of curiosity and it hooks you.  If you try it, I suspect that's exactly what will happen.  Expect the best as it's there.
