Towner: South Korea 2013
Mitchell: From Mingus.
One of Charles Mingus's greatest tunes, these two very different versions both feature the same rich chord structure, leaning heavily on #9 chords ... Towner plays a 12-string, grabbing each chord with the fluency which he is known for.
Joni's version starts with Jaco and Wayne playing footsie with each other, then Joni comes in with the vocal (her lyrics fit Mingus's music perfectly). The fills are delicious, and listen to Peter with brushes!
