A rising star on the contemporary jazz vocal scene
An ambitious work that opens new doors for 21st century jazz.
Gardot's deeply moving debut album, which reflects her deeply emotional personal experiences, was inspired by her encounter with music after a traffic accident. While drawing on the legacy of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, her unique vocal approach adds a contemporary sensibility. Gardot's meticulous portrayal of her rich and sensitive inner world marks a new and important chapter in contemporary jazz vocals.
