Melody Gardot / Andy Guthrie

Show Description

"A soulful and seductive mix of jazz and blues...immediately compelling." -Jazztimes Magazine



So young, yet with a voice and songwriting inspiration that exudes all the quiet soulful authority and gravity you usually associate only with old time Jazz and blues legends, Melody Gardot tears gently at your heartstrings with her sultry, pleading vocals. Influenced by legends such as Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, and Patsy Cline, Gardot delivers a rich blend of songwriting that is utterly timeless. Live she's "Luminous" (Paste), accompanied by sassy trumpet, Lester Young-esque saxophone, upright bass, vibes and drums with an essence that's irresistibly moody and simplistic, "in a place where Billie Holiday meets Tom Waits" (Businessweek).
