The standards album – it was a good choice for Joni at this point. Her singing was still rich and evocative. The arrangements (by Larry Klein) are always worthwhile. Some great solos by Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, but it’s all about the rhythm section and the orchestra. Still, it’s no slight on the standards here to say that my favorites are the slowed down and re-imagined versions of 2 of her own songs on this. In 2000 you just couldn’t get this kind of stuff anywhere else, and she did it well.
