heard Melody Gardot?


Holy smoke. One of the DJs at Portland's Jazz station KMHD ranks her album "My One And Only Thrill" as one of the best for 2009. Just listened to some cuts on Amazon, and I'm blown away.

I have all of her releases on CD and vinyl. I think she is wonderful. She came back from a very horrible accident and accomplished this.

I like her first CD, not only for her singing but for the wide variety of tasty instrumental interludes during the songs

A very pleasent listen
Interesting story on how she suffered severe brain damage and memory/speech problems after being hit by a car while riding a bicycle. Music, humming, and singing helped her learn to communicate again.
