Just picked up Free Flight's "The jazz/classical union. A very interesting fusion of calssical pieces such a a Paganini Pavane,a Bach "groove",Pachebel's canon, and a Chopin etude.
$3.99

Very enjoyable listening with great playing and improvisation.

Also just picked up a Joni Mitchell I had never heard of.
"Shadows and Light"
This LP features Jaco Pastorius on Bass,Pat Metheny on Guitar,and others.
A 2 LP live set from 1980 when Joni was beginning her exploration into jazz on the "Mingus" tour. It starts with a collage of Joni doing her songs with a significant jazz influence backed by first class players intermixed with old movie tracks. Kind of a "Miles of Aisles" on art steroids. The Joni tunes are from "Blue","Hissing of Summer Lawns","Hejira","Mingus". A definite departure from the pop money making routine she was seduced into in "Court and Spark". Excellent recording and pressing.
Very entertaining.
$7.99 at Everybody's records in Cincinnati.

Bill Evans Trio - "Portraits In Jazz" [Riverside]
