Ron recently posted a video of the aptly named Melody Gardot, I just got around to taking a closer look at her, after hearing her on my local jazz radio station. When I heard her voice, I had to check her out.
Man she is talented, I love her phrasing and sense of style. She sounds good, has implacable timing and is easy to look at, a very compelling combination indeed.
Ron said of her, "Sumptuous, sexy, scrumptious." and I agree wholeheartedly.
Melody Gardot (born 1985) is an American jazz singer, writer and musician in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was disabled at 19 after being struck by a car while riding her bicycle and became a musician after discovering music therapy. She has been influenced by such blues and jazz artists as Janis Joplin, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin as well as Latin artists such as Stan Getz and Caetano Veloso.
