Legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is set to release a massive 61-track compilation album, titled Joni's Jazz, featuring a mix of studio recordings, live performances, rare alternate takes, and material drawn from multiple decades and record labels.

The album, which is dedicated to the late Wayne Shorter, will be released on September 5 and is available for preorder. Fans who preorder the vinyl and CD versions will also receive liner notes with rare and previously unseen photos and original artwork by Mitchell.

Joni's Jazz features collaborations with jazz legends such as Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and Charles Mingus, showcasing the profound influence of jazz on Mitchell's music.

In the liner notes for Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 4, Mitchell teased the upcoming compilation, saying, "People ask me my favorite of my albums, it's going to be Joni's Jazz."
