The talented Los Angeles pianist, singer and songwriter celebrates Joni Mitchell's beloved 1974 folk rock-meets-jazz classic with an excellent band.
Born to a musical family as the daughter of a trumpet player and music educator father, Galisatus began piano studies at five, ultimately studying piano performance and composition at Stanford before beginning her professional career. Her most recent compositions draw from the rich folk music and singer/songwriter traditions, heard on her debut album Without Night. The focus on these traditions makes her the perfect artist to celebrate Mitchell's enduring influence and the music on her sixth and most successful album.
Released by A&M in January of 1974, Court and Spark was created during a year-long period of writing and recording, during which Mitchell explored the blend of her folk music aesthetic with jazz influences, employing jazz artists Tom Scott, Larry Carlton, Joe Sample, and Chuck Findley in addition to rock contemporaries Robbie Robertson, David Crosby, and Graham Nash. The album reached #2 on the Billboard charts and eventually attained Double Platinum status. It was nominated for four GRAMMYs including Record of the Year for the single "Help Me," winning for Mitchell and Scott's arrangement on "Down to You," and was named best album in the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Critics Poll in 1974, as well as ranking at #110 in Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
