I have come back to this so many times. Very few singers, even really good ones, have the nerve to cover Joni's Coyote. This is just marvellous. Stunning. Beautiful. Could not have been better. I hope Joni sees it ... I think she'll like it. Well ... then there's her take on A Case of You. Equally well done. I cannot imagine what it w ouldbe like to sing this well. It must be one of the best feelings in the world.

"The bass players that I worked with before just kind of played through it like four beats to the bar, you know, polka-dotting along. And they couldn’t see the shapes of the music or where the pressure points were. They couldn’t grasp it. So you had to wait for somebody like Jaco to come along who had one foot in rock ’n’ roll and one foot in jazz. And when Jaco came in on the dates, he was doing what I wanted, which was a more classical counterpoint to my melodies-and leaving space- it was personality that deserved to be in the foreground. We were conceptually kindred."Joni Mitchell Jaco Pistorius was one of the Greatest bassist in the World. Thanks for letting him blossom in your presence Joni! RIP Jaco! ✌❤🎸🎶 ❤🇨🇦🎶🥂🤘 🇨🇦💃🐈
