Melody Gardot, Live in Europe


Because I bought and enjoyed Diana Krall, Live in Paris, thanks to those who shared about it, I took a chance and bought Melody Gardot, Live in Europe. It is a 2-cd set.  Similar music.  Many songs sound just as good on my system as  DK’s cd.  Ms. Gardot has a lovelier voice, in my opinion.  So far, I am through the fist cd.  Very original in places. Slow and sultry in most. But, “The Rain” will give your speakers an 11 minute sonic workout. I highly recommend it.

Please excuse my ignorance. I dont know what love format is. I dont know if it is available in Vinyl, as that will be my next round of upgrades. But, it does have a lovely photo of the back of a woman on the cover of the cd.
Stumbled on her when looking for new music... I heard about 3 secs and knew she was the real deal. Lovely voice and some great backing.  I thought it good enough to revive this older thread to try and get the word out to some who didn't know her like myself.

You guys should also check out Madeleine Peyroux if you have not heard her.A beautiful,slightly smoky Billy Holiday voice..
Over the Rainbow from 'My One and Only Thrill' and Mira from 'The Absence' are a couple of my favorites.
Melodie Gardot and Dianna Krell are just great singers. If you like these two voices and you also like daring exploring jazz instrumentals tossed in for good measure: try Patricia Barber. Barber has the “voice”and the is “different”, too. Not a better than Gardot or Krell suggestion - Barber is another wonderful female jazz vocalist PLUS a kick ass piano woman! Female jazz vocalists - just the most wonderful music to my ears. Happy ears!
