Court and Spark, released 41 years ago this week, found Joni Mitchell ascending to the top of the charts, even as she began adding bold new complexities to her music. Long a solo-performing folk artist, she discovered new vistas working in more collaborative, more improvisational settings.

Express helped bring things out of Mitchell that few knew were even there... “She was always a brilliant musician~and particularly when she sat down at the piano her music could become very expansive. ~ Robben Ford, jazz and rock guitarist/ saxophonist who was a member of The L.A. Express
