JONI MITCHELL: IN HER OWN WORDS
Book ID/图书代码： 00110914B74756
English Summary/英文概要： When singer, musician, and broadcast journalist Malka Marom had the opportunity to interview Joni Mitchell in 1973, she was eager to reconnect with the performer she’d first met late one night in 1966 at a Yorkville coffeehouse. More conversations followed over the next four decades of friendship, and it was only after Joni and Malka completed their last recorded interview, in 2012, that Malka discovered the heart of their discussions: the creative process.
In Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words, Joni and Malka follow this thread through seven decades of life and art, discussing the influence of Joni’s childhood, love and loss, playing dives and huge festivals, acclaim and criticism, poverty and affluence, glamorous triumphs and tragic mistakes . . .
This riveting narrative, told in interviews, lyrics, paintings, and photographs, is shared in the hope of illuminating a timeless body of work and inspiring others.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 她是画家；是诗人；是社会观察者；也是一个歌手。
Joni Mitchell已俨然成为一个时代的代名词，足以让所有乐坛的后生晚辈昂首瞻仰。然而，Joni Mitchell却也不像许多知名的男性摇滚歌手，习于以英雄姿态睥昵这世间的万丈红尘；她的声音是一泓清泉，以亘久不变的耐心切穿坚硬盘石；是一朵淡云，飘过每一个山头、参与每一次日出日落。
作为女性创作歌手的先驱，略带忧郁气息、十足艺术气质的Joni Mitchell，总是以最贴近心灵的歌唱方式，让优美的旋律缓然流泄，清澈入云霄的歌声，勾起所有私密的温柔；对家国政治的深思、理想的逝去，留下的刻痕反而益发深刻了起来。
从 1968 年发行的处女作「Joni Mitchell Song To A Seagull」，到 2002 年的「Travelogue」，Joni Mitchell的音乐创作旅程，已经有三十四年的历史；开创女性创作歌手新局的她，除早期的民谣摇滚外，更不断做各种尝试，结合爵士、乡村、前卫、世界音乐等繁复多元乐风，开创作品的崭新面貌；近年来，她的兴趣转向传统摇滚月，便曾和爵士大师查尔斯明格斯(Charles Mingus)合作，在 明格斯身亡后，Joni Mitchell更以一张名为「Mingus」的专辑来纪念他；后来，她也出版「Both Sides Now」，诠释了二○至七○年代的许多情歌，知名爵士乐手赫比汉考克(Herbie Hancock)亦跨刀相助；2002 年新专辑「Travelogue」则是过往作品的重新演绎、全新录音，大规模的管弦乐团编制，更显出她融合乐类的创意。
对于摇滚乐，无论你习于讲求叛逆反思的意识型态，或只想简单聆听旋律本身之动人，Joni Mitchell都不可能让你失望；这位三十多年来如一日对音乐、对摇滚坚持的女性，绝对是个在你听觉史上不可或缺的名字。
在这本《琼尼•米歇尔》的传记中，本书的作者Malka追溯了这位历经了这位加拿大女歌手七十年来的艺术生活,探讨了琼尼童年时期所受到的影响,至爱与失落,潜水游玩和许多重大的节庆日,媒介的褒扬和批评,贫穷和富裕,令人炫目的成功和悲剧性的错误等……(Sandy)
