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.

Me too Donjr. I can't believe I haven't listened to her new album yet. I have no time as I've been working a lot lately so some of her concert will be completely new, which is cool.
You will not be dissappointed Devilboy. Her new release is nothing short of amazing. If you see a 45 year old bald guy with a beautiful red head in tall black leather boots that might be me and my wife. Orchestra row Q seats 6 and 8. We're very excited to put it mildly. Stop over and introduce yourself if you're close by. If not, have a great time. She's one of the best our generation will ever know.
You guys will be in for a real treat. I saw her in Montreal last July as part of the Montreal International Jazz Festival. A memorable performance. The show was sold out in 20 minutes. She played many songs from the Absence album.
I would see her again.
Have a good one....
Ok. I saw Melody last night. It was the third time I had the pleasure of hearing her perform live. However, of the three shows, this was my least favorite. First, she is a beautiful woman and she was covered up all night from head to toe. Something covering her hair and a long gown. She looked like she was wearing a burkah. She has more to show and I wanted to see it. Second, the audio sucked. I could barely hear her voice. Third, I expected more jazz standards. Instead, she did more of a "world music" vibe, which is fine but not what I wanted from her. She ended with "Summertime" and then brought up an old singer-songrwriter friend which were some of the highlights of the show.

Donjr: I looked for you two, but didn't see you. I was three martinis in so I kinda forgot the row you said. Ha!
