I am not a big fan of Jazz but when I listened to her album, I loved her songs. The lyrics are full of emotions and she sang it so well that you will be moved while listening to it.

I haven’t heard anything about her yet. I just get music sources from friends. Where is she from and what particular song could you recommend for me to listen to? Thanks so much!

She's from the UK, I'd recommend to start with the song The closest thing to crazy.

And if you want to venture into real but accessible jazz rather than these pop/jazz crossovers, then Stacey Kent and Diana Krall would be good names to check out.

Thank you so much for giving these names. I may try these artists sometime but I need to check out our local CD stores if they sell albums from them. Can I have the album title if you don’t mind? Thanks!

KATIE MELUA - Call of the search, Piece by piece
DIANA KRALL - All for you, The look of love, When I look in your eyes
STACEY KENT - Close your eyes, Dreamsville, The boy next door

The latter two have recorded more, but these are good starting points.

Thanks so much. I think I am already familiar with Diana Krall, it seems that I have listened to several of her songs but I am not too good when it comes to memorizing the titles.

I agree - Norah Jones and Katie Melua are greet.

Let me recommed Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing. It´s from his album "In between Dreams".

Does anyone know if it´s possible to buy a notebook with Norah Jones songs?

I'm a fan!

I am not a big fan of Jazz either. However, I am crazy over Norah Jones. 'Don't Know Why" and "Cold Cold Heart" are two of my favorite Norah Jones' song. Her music is like jazz with a little hint of pop.

Norah Jones will be releasing another album this January 30. Be sure to get a copy! I'm sure it will be another big hit.

Norah Jones indeed has great talent and she is known in India too, though not as much for music but for the Indian connection that she has. She is the daughter of the great Indian sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar. Norah's step sister Anoushka Shankar is also a sitar player.

I've never been much of a jazz person myself, but I agree that Norah Jones is incredible. She's incredibly talented and I think her voice is so beautiful. If you want to buy one of her cd's I would recommend her 'Come Away With Me' cd. It'll give you a great feel for her music and style (plus it's a great cd!). Just a bit of trivia knowledge for you all...her father is the famous Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar.

Hi
I agree with you. Norah Jones is incredible. Her voice is very beautiful. Her CD “Come away with ME “gives a great feel of music. She is as talented as her father Ravi shanker.
The lyrics of these songs are full of emotions and she sang it so well that you will be moved while listening to it.

Snorah Jonesed

Hey, c'mon now. Who are you talking about? A good looking young woman, around twenty when she made a hit record. Someone singing and playing piano a little who was picked up by a band, using her to front for commercial success. A record of all slow songs, sung slow, played slow, produced slow. Everything slow. Like a Marilyn Monroe photo, soft focus, down low, being alone and beyond slow, just laying there. Yeah, a lot of people picked up on her. Dreamy? Was Sade dreamy? Sexy? Is Carole Wiseman sexy? I feel sorry for her, personifying that style at such a young age. She should be out there in a band doing "I Will Survive" or "I Work Hard for My Money" and develop her musicianship and vocals.

But hey, she's from Texas, she's U.S.A., where entertainers play promoting bad mothers and ill fathers make their pay a dub way. Maybe Snorah has a secret play, watching T.V. all day while her father was away. She's setting herself up for scan and fade into a hot doc on sloths some day. All these background music appreciating replies got some rapport out of me.
Hey Snorah! You choose we snooze.

Sunwaiter! I just got back at you on another posting. You think I'm being too harsh? Maybe all these Snorah Jonesed lines came too easy, hearing more than that around here. I'm just trying to represent the working reality of it all. It's like seeing trashy souvenirs in Niagara Falls, hippy lipstick, tilt and see naked, etc. They might be fun to pick up and squeeze, but if you think about what it took to manufacture and retail, you might change your perspective. I get going onstage sometimes, talking about music. Why should someone expect to pull big bucks out of my city, my province, my country, when they haven't even set foot onstage here. There never was a vote about replacing live music with technology, just as there never was a vote about replacing local manufacturing with Chinese goods. If I sound harsh, it's because my home town, Welland, once the second largest steel town in Canada, now has no steel mills and more drug dealers than steel workers. There wasn't a vote on that. And I'm a loving and passionate person, and single. I don't want to be tempted by teen singer crotch shots, shoved in my face everywhere.

I can sing. I can stand outside a nightclub on Clifton Hill, the main drag in Niagara Falls, and sing along to the tunes inside. That's always a nice thing to do, especially when I start singing higher note harmonies, and filling in what I consider empty spaces. Not onstage, not with my guitar and amp, but asked into a disco there, I stood in the middle of the dance floor singing along to Careless Whispers, when that tune was hot. George Michael may have taken a chance with a couple of high notes, but that's easy for my non-smoking, non-drinking choirboy voice. The dance floor filling, at the end I was riffing off the chorus, and the reaction I got, the applause and hugging and patting, is one of my favorite moments. Older, in hiking clothes, not even wanting to be there, but singing for real. Surprising people with what sounds real in front of them, beautiful.

Yes, I'm sounding good on myself, but I'll confess. I learned typing in school, but never had a computer lesson. I am a domain, but sponsored and built by others as a political act. I see myself as a word processor, or the text generator. Answering two posts of yours tonight, I've decided to try and add the function for getting alerts about answer posts. We're discussing serious things, and I want to be just as urgent, and I am posting a lot here, forgetting where I was. I don't want to miss any rapport like we have here.
Corno Dolce and I have been private messaging for a while, and you are coming in second with postings between us. Thank you.

While I'm having a middle aged break, finishing my new, patentable guitar, being able to look here with a computer in this house, has kept my music alive and refreshed my Hendrix connection. The best things in life are free. At least for you and me. Maybe it's time to send Mr. Frederik Magle a money order.

Thanks again Sunwaiter. When I see your name, I think of that Kevin Kostner movie Waterworld, about the world covered in water. Watching that movie is like sailing on a hot ocean. Just like The Postman and Jeremiah Johnson, where you feel like you made it through the winter. You should say something to make me feel your Paris.
Adieux, mon ami! as always, John Watt.

John Watt:

it is getting interesting. i'm realizing ive always looked for a good correspondance, with a good and wealthy opposition or response in regards of volume, ideas, style, honesty, and certainly lots of other qualities too many times drowning in a sea of ones and zeroes.

i have not seen Waterworld, but i guess i can have an idea of what you mean.

paris is odious, as can be a woman who is smart enough to stay reptilian. lately i'm too much into ugly details to make people feel MY paris. maybe it's because of mister Eiffel that i don't use capital letters when i start new sentences. or maybe i'm just lazy.
