'The Asylum Albums (1976-1980)' delves into Joni Mitchell's jazz-inflected sound on the late 1970's studio albums - 'Hejira' (1976), 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' (1977) and 'Mingus' (1979) - and the live album 'Shadows and Light' (1980). Famed bassist & composer-and long-time Mitchell collaborator-Jaco Pastorius appears prominently on each of the four albums in this set, alongside other noted jazz luminaries like Charles Mingus and Herbie Hancock. 'The Asylum Albums (1976-1980)' is remastered and presented with premium packaging featuring abstract cover artwork from Mitchell's private fine arts collection.
