Who knew I was a born Jazz lover? I mean I always knew deep down inside, but it took me a while to refine my taste and then really figure out that this was the music I loved the best. It all started with Nina Simone and then moved onto more current versions like Corrine Baily Rae and Amy Winehouse, but today I found the most wonderful Jazz artist. Not only is she a great singer, but she has an inspiring story to back all her soul up.
Melody Gardot, like Kanye, started her music career after being in a serious car accidentt. At 19, it looked as though fashion student Melody wouldn't be walking, talking, and certainly not singing anytime soon. However, listen to her music today and one can clearly see that she overcame all of those things to create a wonderful, soulful, smoky, sultry career.
For months I have been asking everyone, "What kind of music do they play at Pottery Barn?" I knew all of the classic Jazz and Blues artists, but I wanted to know who sang the new stuff and what it was being categorized as. Today I learned...I am a Jazz girl, and Melody Gardot taught me that!
my friend andrew, who lives in my old building, is friends with this girl. she is blowing up.
