Listener Reviews & Comments
I discovered this jazz album during an NPR interview with Melody Gardot, a 23-year-old jazz ingenue who is wise beyond her years when it comes to noir jazz. After being struck by a SUV while riding her bicycle at age 19, Gardot turned to music to confront and then overcome her resulting cognitive disability. Worrisome Heart is Gardot's debut jazz album, and the remarkable result of her ongoing recovery. Backed by a group of talented musicians such as guitarist Jef Lee Johnson (Billy Joel, George Duke, Aretha Franklin, David Sandborn), organist Joel Bryant (Aretha Franklin, Harry Connick Jr.), and trumpeter Matt Cappy (Jill Scott, Kirk Franklin), Gardot's intimate, sultry, smoldering vocals are reminiscent of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, and the recording itself is clear and crisp. This is an amazing collection of cool songs about unfulfilled desire, heartache, and yearning by an amazing talent. Worrisome Heart will appeal to anyone who likes the vocal styles of Madeleine Peyroux or Diana Krall. Album tracks include: 1. Worrisome Heart 4:21 2. All That I Need Is Love 2:36 3. Gone 2:50 4. Sweet Memory 3:21 5. Some Lessons 5:23 6. Quiet Fire 4:13 7. One Day 2:02 8. Love Me Like A River Does 4:06 9. Goodnite 3:04 10. Twilight 1:01 G. Merritt
