Tuplasti Pasilan Myrkkyä Kale Puontin vakuuttavan realistisen Pasilan Myrkky -dekkarisarjan osat 5 ja 6 yksissä kansissa. FADI: Poliisin haaviin tarttuu taisteluhuumeena tunnettua Captagonia. Tapauksen yhteydessä saadaan tietoa Suomen kautta Venäjälle kulkevasta pillerikaupasta, jota Pohjoismaissa johtaa irakilaissyntyinen, Helsingin Kalliossa parturiliikettä pitävä Fadi Mohammed. Samaa miestä epäillään osalliseksi Pariisissa vuonna 1982 tehtyyn terrori-iskuun, mutta Fadin sisäpiiriin ei niin vain ujuttauduta keräämään todisteita. Tehtävään tarvitaan soluttautuja. Rikosylikonstaapeli Kaartamon ryhmästä värvätään poliiseja mukaan operaatioon, jonka peitemieheksi joutuu keltanokka Ali Yasin. Vastapelurina on Fadi Mohammed, kokenut tappaja ja huumekauppias mutta myös perheenpää ja isoisä, jonka mieltä painaa katumus. JONI: Kaksi laukausta kajahtaa kontulalaisen kerrostalon pihassa, ja mies lyyhistyy kuolleena maahan. Ojanen ja Kurki järjestäytyneen rikollisuuden yksiköstä ovat juuri lopettelemassa työvuoroaan, kun rikosylikonstaapeli Kaartamo antaa komennon takaisin. Ammuttu tunnistetaan mieheksi, joka on ollut poliisin kiikarissa huumebisneksiensä takia, mutta kaduilla hänet tunnetaan paremmin kovamaineisen 900-katujengin pomona. Kun myös toisen jengin ykkösmies löytyy ammuttuna, puheet ilmiliekkeihin syttyneestä jengisodasta yltyvät. Pasilan Myrkylle avautuu kuitenkin toiseen suuntaan osoittava tutkintalinja, kun ensimmäisen murhan ampuma-aseen omistaja saadaan jäljitetyksi. Eikä hän kuulu katujengeihin, kaukana siitä. Kale Puonti (s. 1962) työskenteli yli 30 vuotta Helsingissä huume- ja järjestäytyneen rikollisuuden tutkinnassa, ja hän on ollut mukana monissa suurta julkisuutta saaneissa jutuissa. Fadi on vakuuttavan realistisen Pasilan Myrkky -dekkarisarjan viides ja Joni kuudes osa. Sarjan neljästä ensimmäisestä kirjasta on myyty tv- ja elokuvaoikeudet.

The Music of Joni Mitchell

The Music of Joni Mitchell

Whitesell Lloyd

Oxford University Press Inc
2008
sidottu
Joni Mitchell is one of the foremost singer-songwriters of the late twentieth century. Yet despite her reputation, influence, and cultural importance, a detailed appraisal of her musical achievement is still lacking. Whitesell presents a through exploration of Mitchell's musical style, sound, and structure in order to evaluate her songs from a musicological perspective. His analyses are conceived within a holistic framework that takes account of poetic nuance, cultural reference, and stylistic evolution over a long, adventurous career. Mitchell's songs represent a complex, meticulously crafted body of work. The Music of Joni Mitchell offers a comprehensive survey of her output, with many discussions of individual songs, organized by topic rather than chronology. Individual chapters each explore a different aspect of her craft, such as poetic voice, harmony, melody, and large-scale form. A separate chapter is devoted to the central theme of personal freedom, as expressed through diverse symbolic registers of the journey quest, bohemianism, creative license, and spiritual liberation. Previous accounts of Mitchell's songwriting have tended to favor her poetic vision, expansive verse structures, and riveting vocal delivery. Whitesell fills out this account with special attention to musical technique, showing how such traits as complex or conflicting sonorities, dualities of harmonic mode, dialectical tensions of texture and register, intricately layered instrumental figuration, and a variable vocal persona are all essential to her distinctive identity as a songwriter. The Music of Joni Mitchell develops a set of conceptual tools geared specifically to Mitchell's songs, in order to demonstrate the extent of her technical innovation in the pop song genre, to give an account of the formal sophistication and rhetorical power characterizing her work as a whole, and to provide grounds for the recognition of her intellectual stature as a composer within her chosen field.

An unorthodox musician from the start, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell's style of composing, performing, and of playing (and tuning) the guitar is unique. In the framework of sexual difference and the gendered discourses of rock this immediately begs the questions: are Mitchell's songs specifically feminine and, if so, to what extent and why?Anne Karppinen addresses this question focusing on the kind of music and lyrics Mitchell writes, the representation of men and women in her lyrics, how her style changes and evolves over time, and how cultural context affects her writing. Linked to this are the concepts of subjectivity and authorship: when a singer-songwriter sings a song in the first person, about whom are they actually singing? Mitchell offers a fascinating study, for the songs she writes and sings are intricately woven from the strands of her own life. Using methods from critical discourse analysis, this book examines recorded performances of songs from Mitchell's first nine studio albums, and the contemporary reviews of these albums in Anglo-American rock magazines. In one of the only books to discuss Mitchell's recorded performances, with a focus that extends beyond the seminal album Blue, Karppinen explores the craft of Mitchell's songwriting and her own attitudes towards it, as well as the dynamics and politics of rock criticism in the 1960s and 1970s more generally.

Traveling: On the Path of Joni Mitchell

Traveling: On the Path of Joni Mitchell

Ann Powers

Dey Street Books
2024

*An Observer Best New Biographies of 2024*Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself."What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it's a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice."--From the introductionFor decades, Joni Mitchell's life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians--from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile--and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as--with the other arm--she pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting.In Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer's childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life.Along this journey, Powers' wide-ranging musings on the artist's life and career reconsider the biographer's role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan.Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.

In this book, the work of legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is explored, emphasizing the way text and music work together to create an artistic statement in her recorded songs. Few singer-songwriters have been as influential as Joni Mitchell. Her song "Both Sides, Now" has been recorded over 640 times, while Bill and Hillary Clinton credit her "Chelsea Morning" as the inspiration for their daughter's name. The Words and Music of Joni Mitchell surveys the entire output of this legendary artist, from her 1968 debut album Song to a SeagulI to her 2007 album Shine. After a brief overview of Mitchell's career and a chapter that explains some of the important technical features of the guitar styles upon which she draws, the book offers an in-depth discussion of every song Mitchell wrote and recorded. Proceeding chronologically through Mitchell's albums, author James Bennighof clarifies the musical content of the songs and the personality behind the music. Each brief essay describes how important musical features—such as instrumentation, idiosyncratic guitar tunings, harmonic structure, form, and elements of melody and rhythm—interact with the text of the song to create the unforgettable artistic statements for which Mitchell is celebrated.

Reckless Daughter: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell

Reckless Daughter: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell

David Yaffe

SARAH CRICHTON BOOKS

"She was like a storm." --Leonard Cohen Reckless Daughter is the story of an artist and an era that have left an indelible mark on American music. Joni Mitchell may be the most influential female recording artist and composer of the late twentieth century. In Reckless Daughter, the music critic David Yaffe tells the remarkable, heart-wrenching story of how the blond girl with the guitar became a superstar of folk music in the 1960s, a key figure in the Laurel Canyon music scene of the 1970s, and the songwriter who spoke resonantly to, and for, audiences across the country. A Canadian prairie girl, a free-spirited artist, Mitchell never wanted to be a pop star. She was nothing more than "a painter derailed by circumstances," she would explain. And yet, she went on to become a talented self-taught musician and a brilliant bandleader, releasing album after album, each distinctly experimental, challenging, and revealing. Her lyrics captivated listeners with their perceptive language and naked emotion, born out of Mitchell's life, loves, complaints, and prophecies. As an artist whose work deftly balances narrative and musical complexity, she has been admired by such legendary lyricists as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and beloved by such groundbreaking jazz musicians as Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock. Her hits--from "Big Yellow Taxi" to "Both Sides, Now" to "A Case of You"--endure as timeless favorites, and her influence on the generations of singer-songwriters who would follow her, from her devoted fan Prince to Bj rk, is undeniable. In this intimate biography, drawing on dozens of unprecedented in-person interviews with Mitchell, her childhood friends, and a cast of famous characters, Yaffe reveals the backstory behind the famous songs--from Mitchell's youth in Canada, her bout with polio at age nine, and her early marriage and the child she gave up for adoption, through the love affairs that inspired masterpieces, and up to the present--and shows us why Mitchell has so enthralled her listeners, her lovers, and her friends.
