Joni Mitchell – Hejira (ft. Wayne Shorter)

 

Wayne Shorter’s best-known solo might be the one he cut forSteely Dan’s “Aja.” But he was no stranger to playing with musicians in more popular genres. He not only played on two Santana albums, but formed a band with Santana that toured and played Montreux. He played the soaring sax part on the last tune closing out the Rolling Stones’ Bridges to Babylon. And from 1977–2002, he played on ten Joni Mitchell albums.

May 27, 2023: Inefficient

I came into the company garage and noticed someone backing into a space when the space behind it was completely open. They reversed and pulled forward to correct about 3-4 times. During that time, I drove up through the back side two spaces over, gathered all my things, and was at the garage exit by the time they finally parked.

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.
