After Blue: The Joni Mitchell Project

Birdland, NYC, June 24, 2014

From the opening number “Blue,” After Blue: The Joni Mitchell Project was not the usual Mitchell tribute. Mitchell’s lyrics, often anthems for the flower children of the sixties and seventies, are not the focus of this show.

Instead Tierney Sutton, guitarist Sergio Merlaud, cellist Mark Summer of the Turtle Island Quartet and drummer Mark Ferber are more concerned with treating Mitchell’s music in a different light—often introducing bossa nova beats and classical interludes in the performance.

The show features many of Mitchell’s most popular songs, including “Woodstock,” “Big Yellow Taxi” and “Court and Spark.” Ironically, Sutton did a masterful job interpreting the lyric of “Don’t Go to Strangers,” the Etta James hit that Mitchell has recorded.

Summer’s solo on cello of his composition “Juli-O” was truly remarkable; it almost seemed as if two people were playing.

The closing number opened with a Bach melody on cello, which led into Mitchell’s classic “Both Sides Now. The encore a very jazzy “Comes Love,” another number that Mitchell did not compose but did record.
