Joni Mitchell’s Mingus stands as a striking collaboration between the iconic singer-songwriter and legendary jazz composer Charles Mingus, capturing Mitchell’s genre-defying artistry at its boldest. Originally released in 1979, this album finds Mitchell surrounded by an extraordinary cast of jazz greats including Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock, navigating the sophisticated musical landscapes that Mingus himself envisioned.

This 2024 remaster, overseen by Bernie Grundman and Joni Mitchell, brings new depth and clarity to a pioneering work where Mitchell sets poetic lyrics to Mingus’s compositions and her own intricate arrangements. From introspective spoken word interludes to stunning interpretations like “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” Mingus remains an essential document of Mitchell’s creative crossroads and a testament to her lasting influence in the world of jazz and beyond.
