Ledisi and Herbie Hancock tribute Joni Mitchell

Mama said “You belong everywhere music is.” Thank you @herbiehancock for letting me tribute Joni Mitchell: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Check out a sneak peek look at my performance of Joni’s song “River” accompanied by Ledisi and join the conversation at #GershwinPrizePBS

I could listen to her sing like this ALL DAY. She needs to do an album like this.❤

[@nakialindsey5684]

Listening 🎧 through earphones and if this isn't spiritual bliss and peaceful I don't know what is. Ledisi 💕 voice is soul stirring and mighty so beautiful watching this makes me feel some kinda way just beautifully human🥰.

[@edpearsoniii9603]

Elegance & beauty at it's finest!!! Ledisi has a priceless voice, and when paired with Herbie is magical!

[@WW-tg5pu]

Magnificent... Herbie, Ledisi....River! Superb

[@marvinhenderson7420]

Beautiful voice, beautiful woman. ❤

[@MsCaramello73]

Lovely! Good to see Herbie Hancock, too. 🥰

[@michiel2046]

❤❤❤ Absolutely beautiful music along with an absolutely beautiful voice!

[@MarciaMatthews]

Ledisi has the best voice around.

[@elainemeyer5062]

WOW 💕 - a beautiful duet cover by both (and the rest of the band) as a tribute to Joni! I’m 70ish now and have listened to Herbie’s 👍 music for more years than I can remember. But until today, I NEVER heard of Ledisi, and think she has a 🌟 fabulous voice! IDK why but fortunately I’m recently discovering ‘new’ artists who aren’t as well known as they should be - at least in the USA 🇺🇸. A lovely song + perfectly executed - it’s nice relaxing, laid back, easy listening music for ANY time of the year (not just Xmas 🎄 or other holidays around that time bc of some lyrics to it). 👏

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Beautiful, so nice 👌🏿 I know the great Herbie. Who are the Instrumentalists/band members? Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@kjearley5947]

Ledisi is one of my fav artists i can listen to her all day

[@gerhardlegeland4523]

It's only Herbie and Ledisi in almost all comments. That is very fine. But there is much more in this beautiful rendition. The first three seconds belong to the fantastic drummer Brian Blade. He was Joni's last drummer. His playing is so amazing throughout the whole song. Then before Herbie starts playing there is a soft bass and a quiet guitar. Who are they? Then the wonderful Mark Isham (I'm not absolutely sure here) comes into being with the amazing sounds out of his flugelhorn. Finally this wonderful woman with her amazing voice ... it's coming on Christmas... IMHO I think without these musicians this song would not by far be the same. They should be honoured.

This is a lovely rendition of one of my favorite songs. Side note: Is the brass instrument a trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, or something else?

[@gerhardlegeland4523]

flugelhorn
