New volume in Joni Mitchell's Grammy-winning archive series of unreleased recordings. Box set tracing the significant period of transformation and creative evolution between 1976 and 1980. Includes previously unreleased studio sessions, alternate versions, live recordings, rarities, and a 36-page book with new photos and an extensive interview between Joni and Cameron Crowe. Produced from original stereo reels, Nagra film recordings, multi-track tapes, radio sound recordings, and cassettes. Throughout the second half of the 1970s, Joni Mitchell continued her fluid and fearless exploration of jazz. But instead of following well-trodden paths, she preferred to reinvent her style by creating a unique folk fusion to reach new sonic heights. This innovative sound took shape in *Hejira* [gold-certified album released in 1976], the double-LP *Don Juan's Reckless Daughter* [gold-certified album released in 1977], her collaboration with Charles Mingus titled *Mingus* [1979], and the live album *Shadows and Light* in 1980. Carried by the enthusiasm and excitement of these albums, she deeply explores this period in *Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980)*.
