Numbered, Limited-Edition Hybrid SACD from Mobile Fidelity! Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 133/500! Joni Mitchell is the only artist who could've made Hejira. The legendary singer-songwriter said as much when discussing the album decades after its release. Yet that fact seemed obvious from the moment the gold-certified effort streeted in fall 1976. An adventurous travelogue, probing narrative, and offbeat homage to freedom, Hejira remains an inimitable entry in the catalog of recorded music — a spare, gorgeous, meditative series of sonic vignettes comprised of floating harmonic pop, cool jazz, soft rock, and sensitive vocal elements that beckon feelings of motion, discovery, and self-examination.

"Out in the Dark" is their most GENESIS sounding release with the Banks-like keyboard playing and the Gabriel sounding vocals. The first side of the Lp is called "Sun Side" while the second side is called "Dark Side". "Full Moon" opens with a funky 1 minute instrumental (not a fan) as vocals come in.There is some tasteful guitar as well as a sax melody. "Nocturnal Flight" is a really good mellow song with mellotron, vocals and keys standing out. Then 2 1/2 minutes in the song gets powered up with drums and guitar. Nice. It ends with a soaring guitar solo. "Out In The Dark" is a laid back song with the focus on the vocals. The flute before the 4 minute mark is a nice touch and is followed with mellotron.There is a tempo shift 5 minutes in as it all speeds up to an almost jazzy sound with lots of flute, piano and light drums.

In response to criticism that his ambitious, atmospheric music did not swing enough, Charles Mingus returned to the earthiest and oldest sources of black musical expression, namely the blues, gospel and old-time jazz from New Orleans. The LP Blues and Roots, recorded in 1959 and released in 1960, is still considered Mingus' most stirring work and has since become a milestone, perhaps the most soulful in his discography. Analogue Productions is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the legendary Atlantic Records label with the new "Atlantic 75" series and has a few treats in store - such as Charles Mingus' "Blues & Roots".

We met at the studio, exchanged a few thoughts about the tunes, and started recording. The title reflects a journey—both personal and musical—connecting people, places, and experiences across time."
