Careless Love
Bought the album "Careless Love" by Madeline Peyroux the other day... Was in MYER at Virgin Music, and they were playing it... At first I thought it was a new Diana Krall album (one of my favourite current jazz artists), but on further enquiry found out it was actually Madeline Peyroux.
The album is fantastic! A really good mix of soulful ballads, and upbeat jazzy numbers... Great for just lazying back and listening as background music while reading a good book...
She plays guitar and the style of the album is so very relaxing and laid back... It has a very distinctive French/Parisian feel to it... and when I play it I can just see myself in a dark, intimate jazz club somewhere in Paris...
I think I've got a new jazz idol...
Just browsing through The Basement website, I found out that she's actually going to be playing there in May!! May 16 and 17 to be exact!! I do hope I get to go!!! Would be good to hear some quality jazz in a real jazz venue again!! Anyone want to come with me??!! :)
Incidentally going to see Norah Jones tomorrow night at the Entertainment Centre!!! It's going to be awesome!! I would prefer a more intimate setting and venue.. but I can't complain... Free tix!!! :PP
Then there's Diana Krall at the Opera House in April!! Ooooh!!! Too many gigs to go too!! Ooooh... So much money!!!!

French/Parisian jazz on the guitar? Sounds too good to be true! :)
I love Norah Jones...she has such an amazing voice...have fun tomorrow!
I'm up for both Diana Krall and your new jazz idol, let's organise a group together and go! I haven't heard of her before but she sounds divine. Keen to try new things (besides drinking =p).
Going to Vanessa Mae early April, that should rock too!
Becks: Yeah that's a great idea! would be good to just chill and hang at the basement... Diana Krall i think is too expensive! :( $111 for A reserve and $89 for B reserve! :(
Vanessa Mae would be awesome though!! Go the Singaporeans!! hehehehe... She's our national symbol.. :) that and Under One Roof! :)
