Melody Gardot Live

Jwm,

Melody Gardot wears dark glasses because her accident left her sensitive to light. When she first started performing she walked with a cane and needed a stool or bench to sit on. It is good to see her doing "stand up". If you watch the video, her movements might seem a little stiff. I hope she keeps getting healthier.

I like her too, but there is no reason for her to keep clapping while the guys are playing. In my opinion not in good taste. I have been to many live jazz clubs including singers and part of the allure is hearing the soloists as well. She does need to come out with a new cd. Please drop the glasses you are a beautiful women.

"I had been wishing for Melody Gardot to put out a new CD with new songs. But now I am wishing for a new CD with her past songs--LIVE!!!"

Great idea, Don. I posted a year and a half ago about her live concert in Portland. Much as I loved her two albums, _My One and Only Thrill_ especially, nothing could have prepared me--or anyone else in the audience--for that concert. It was in a small somewhat ratty theater (sorry Aladdin), and she and her band just stomped. I actually thought the string arrangements here and there on the albums were slightly overdone. The concert took everything in an entirely different and unpredictable direction.

Outstanding singer. Wish she'd come out with a new recording.

She became my favorite about a year ago .

Great band! Thanks for posting the clip!

Stewie, Thank you for the link. I loved it.

Thanks for the link. I'm a HUGE Nelody Gardot fan and agree with your 99% statement.

really nice,

sounds like it has a bit of a beatnik sound

I have not heard her perform like that in her studio albums

She is a class act for sure, and definitely not to be missed live!

Wow! What a tight rhythm section. And that cello solo -- wow again! Would love to have this concert on CD. Melody -- more recordings, please! PS -- For fun, check out the ad melody did for Renault France -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Vtx7SSbzI
