^ Steely Dan is in Jazz-Rock/Fusion, not Crossover.
 
Folk-Jazz is not Jazz-Rock/Fusion (just as Jazz-Pop is not Jazz-Rock/Fusion) and it isn't Prog-Folk (just as Folk-Rock is not Prog-Folk). The addition of Mitchell into any Prog subgenre would be stretching the definitions of those genres beyond breaking-point. There is a line past which being inclusive becomes too inclusive. Mitchell is way beyond that line.
What?

IMHO both acts are genres in themselfs, long established and accepted by progresive rock audience, both are magnificient examples of the best of American progressive rock what have nothing in common with English progressive rock movement in late '60s - early '70s, but I could not suggested Mrs. Mitchell  for  "American Prog" because it does not exist as a PA genre as RPI as well. So, I suggested Mrs. Mitchell for Fusion or Crossover because, if I remember well, Steely Dan is already in Crossover.
 
BTW, I don't think that PR is a good idea; IMHO, Mrs. Mitchell would be in full prog category - Jazz Rock/ Fusion or Crossover; PR would be a perfect section for i.e. Steve Miller Band, or some other American act like that.
 
Just my opinion, of course.

Look at my last.fm sig - Joni is one of my favorite artists out there. I'd have a hard time justifying her being on PA though. Prog Related perhaps, due to her collabs with Jaco and Mingus and Metheny and the like, but it'd be a slim shot.

Yes, but progressive does not mean the same as "prog".

Yes it does. Prog is short for progressive, or it certainly used to be when I was at school, and listened to the stuff in the old days.

Slart, have you ever made the case for PR, based on the albums from Hissing through Mingus?  Could be worth a shot.  Smile

Actually, I threw out the Crossover suggestion only partially joking.  That run of albums she did from Court And Spark to Mingus are the ones I'd put forward.  Possibly Dog Eat Dog and Chalk Mark In A Rainstorm also.  I don't care so much for the earlier stuff.  I'd be surprised if this hasn't come up with the team already.

Oh yeah, I actually started that one in 2007 and it didn't gain any momentum.  Fizzled rather quickly.

There are a couple of access by collaborators only sections in the forums.  Let's see if this one garners any more attention in the open forums.

Oh, keep an eye out for this thread to get moved as she isn't really new. Wink

Crossover - why not?
For me (the guy from another corner of the world), Joni Mitchell always was a part of that U.S. Prog (Joni as the subgenre per se).

Oh I hadn't checked the forum origin, no secrets anyway, just a 4 year old discussion explaining she would be no fit for prog folk nor jazz rock

Joni Mitchell did do alot of nice fusion stuff and colaborated with many great jazz artists as for example Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, etc.
