Hejira (band)

Hejira is a British jazz-band that celebrates Joni Mitchell's jazz period. The group was created by Pete Oxley of The Spin jazz club in Oxford for a one-off Joni Mitchell Christmas special concert in 2022, and has since carried on touring and performing. They base the majority of their repertoire on Mitchell's 1979 live album Shadows and Light, but also perform work by Mitchell's collaborators and the band members. Hejira is touring Britain from February to December 2024.
