Melody Gardot is amazing!

Let me tell you a little story!!!  I was running late to a dinner at 10th street, and 1st, and I was on 44th and Lex. I jumped in a cab, 5.30pm and said, "I'm late get me there as fast as you can."  Instead of the usual bad mannered cab driver, I had this great guy who managed in 8 minutes, through rush hour traffic to get me to my destination...he was amazing, weaving in and out of the lanes, and jumping lights. Whilst enjoying this trip, he had a CD playing in the cab, and the singers voice was just amazing. I asked him who it was and he held up the CD case, for an artist I had never heard of, Melody Gardot. 

An eclectic mix of jazz, Latin, French...with a voice as clear as crystal glass, Melody and her albums are just superb. If you have a six CD changer in your car, one of the CD's has to now be Melody. Check out her voice, and amazing story at her website, www.MelodyGardot.com .

Melody's story is quite superb and  a movie in the making.  At the age of 19, she was hit by a car and severely injured. Previous to the injury she had played the piano, and so when it came to rehab, her doctors advised her to use music therapy.  From her music therapy classes, she wrote her own songs, developed her own style, learnt to play guitar, and became the mazing artist she is now. 

You have to check this lady out!!!!! Enjoy.
