heard Melody Gardot?

I'm with Bryan. She's certainly very good, but I think there's lots of newer female jazz vocalists in her company. If you haven't heard her, Valerie Joyce records nice music on Chesky, with the sound quality typical of that house. People may also like Erin Bode, a sweet voice who would benefit from a stronger band. John

I think she's fabulous.

"My One and Only Thrill" is probably my favourite of 2009 as well. "Worriesome Heart" is excellent too.

I really like this album as well, but not as much as I like Shelby Lynne's "Just a Little Lovin" from last year.

have both of her albums--actually posted about her last year but agree with Macdadtexas the Shelby Lynn cd just a little lovin --cover of dusty springfield - is just outstanding and very well recorded ---one of my favorites.
