Monika Herzig • Both Sides of Joni
Both Sides of Joni Project was the product of a period of soul searching during the Covid Summer of 2020. Janiece Jaffe started listening closely to Joni Mitchell's music and lyrics with her jazz vocalist ears and found truth and wisdom that inspired her and that she wanted to share with the world to inspire others. She studied the words more deeply and got the urge to re-imagine them in Jazz arrangements. "I could almost 'Hear' them!"
Together with friend and collaborator pianist/arranger Monika Herzig, they spent many summer days of 2020 in the barn with keyboard and masks working out arrangements and rediscovering Joni's music. In March 2021, the arrangements were premiered at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis to most enthusiastic response. Many audience members came together for the first time in over a year and the messages of overcoming challenges, endurance, rebellion, love, and regret rang deep. The music was recorded with a stellar group of musicians with a release date of March 31, 2023. Unfortunately, Janiece Jaffe did not survive heart surgery in November 2022 hence we're celebrating her dream and life with New York vocalist Alexis Cole
