Norah Jones

I'm watching a live show on PBS right now and I have to ask myself, how does this girl write so much amazing music? I watched one of her live shows last year and was absolutely floored by her performance but most of all the sheer beauty of her music. Any fans out there? She truly flies under the radar considering her high level of talent as a songwriter and musician.

On "Come Away With Me" Nora is listed as writer on 2 tracks and co-writer on 1 track out of the 14 tracks on the album. If this qualifies her as writing most of her material, I must live in a different world as the rest of you. So be it. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Careers come and go.

Her and Diana Krall strike me as different flavors of the same ice cream.

I think they are as different as chocolate and vanilla, but maybe the vanilla has some hot fudge? i don't get Ms. Krall in the same way as Norah Jones.

Jazzdoc, I really like the Rome recording you mentioned. Also, for those who don't know, Brian Burton is Danger Mouse. He produced and cowrote Little Broken Hearts.

The above mentioned Herbie Hancock release (River: the Joni Letters) won a Grammy for Album of the Year, and Best Contemporary Jazz Album in '08. One I play often.

Okay, so first off her father didn't have a lot of pull with Norah. It was Annoushka he catered to.

Chayro, isn't "Come Away With Me" over a decade old? Give her a chance for crying out loud. She's not an amplifier. Why bother replying on artists you DON'T like?
