David Crosby was afraid that they were going to slap some kind of band on me and that it would ruin my music. So I made that record with voice and guitar.

She discovers a gift-wrapped necklace in his coat pocket and assumes it will be her Christmas present. Instead, when she opens it, she finds a CD of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now , and the realisation that he has given the jewellery to another woman. She goes upstairs, puts the album on, and we watch for a few tense minutes as the weight of betrayal and deceit hangs over her.

Mitchell's jazz musical journey is celebrated in 'Joni's Jazz,' which compiles 61 tracks from her 1968 debut to her 2022 Newport Festival performance, honoring her love for jazz.
