About this episode
'Joni’s Jazz' is a new four-disc box set that focuses on Joni Mitchell’s late-’70s explorations in jazz. Music journalist Carl Wilson and jazz singer Laila Biali join Commotion guest host Amil Niazi to talk about why Joni’s jazz phase is just as significant and influential as her more popular folk-song canon.
Also, after more than 30 years, American boxer Roy Jones Jr. received the gold Olympic medal–that many believed was snubbed from him in 1988 – as a gift from his opponent Park Si-hun. The exchange is a massive moment for the boxing community. Following the two fighters’ reunion, CBC senior contributor Morgan Campbell joins Amil to talk about the fight that sparked one of the biggest controversies in boxing history.
