See Joni Mitchell perform a cover of 'Summertime' during the all-star Gershwin Prize tribute concert to celebrate her career.
Elsewhere in the concert, Mumford took the stage to perform “Carey,” Lauper performed “Blue,” and Nash offered a rendition of “A Case of You.” The show featured a house band comprised of longtime collaborators and friends of Mitchell, including Greg Phillinganes, Ben Lusher, Greg Leisz, Larry Klein, Brian Blade, Mark Isham, Blake Mills, and Celisse.
The concert stage, as seen in the clips, is adorned with Mitchell’s visual art, including many of her paintings. “I’m a creative person. I like the creative process,” Mitchell said. “I’ve been a painter all my life. I’ve been a musician most of my life. If you can paint with a brush, you can paint with words. It’s a great honor to join the pantheon of recipients.”
The legendary singer-songwriter was announced as the recipient of the Gershwin Prize back in January. “This is a very prestigious award,” Mitchell affirmed when it was revealed. “Thank you for honoring me.” “Joni Mitchell’s music and artistry have left a distinct impression on American culture and internationally, crossing from folk music with a distinctive voice whose songs will stay with us for the ages,” Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, said in a statement. “Joni Mitchell’s music has so many artists and music lovers all singing her tunes. We are honored to present the Gershwin Prize to this musical genius.
