 (57 Customer Reviews)
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). "Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop ... Full DescriptionVocal Performance.
Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).
A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements.
But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years vocal delivery in addition to a precise diction and velvety tone. Shades of Nina Simone, vintage Phoebe Snow, and a less beatnik Rickie Lee Jones are evident throughout as the young siren coolly sashays through mostly new material by guitarist-songwriter Jesse Harris (formerly of Once Blue) and a few choice covers. Veteran producer Arif Mardin frames a most notable debut with a translucent touch, and appearances by jazz heroes Bill Frisell and Brian Blade gild the lily.
Norah Jones won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Relax, enjoy.
This CD packs lots of soft jazz, eazy to listen to music. Norah Jones is a young talent, a step to greatness. Her voice haunts you after listening to this rendition. You just got to listen to it again & again. Soothing, soft, yet defined. I want to hear more from this talented young artist!

After the unexpected runaway success of COME AWAY WITH ME, where to next? The good news about Norah Jones's sophomore effort is that she and producer Arif Mardin decided to leave well enough alone in most regards. There are no screeching guitars, thumping drum machines, or padding synthesizers, and most of the tempos are slow or laid-back--way back. Guests Garth Hudson and Levon Helm of the Band contribute to "What Am I to You?" and Dolly Parton makes an appearance on bassist Lee Alexander's "Creepin' In." Jones's backing group, the Handsome Band, provides just the right ...

Come Away With Me CD music
$10.15
Casual Folklor was put together in October of 1998 by front man Tony Cuchetti and co-writer Chad Holsclaw (long time friend). Originally, Casual Folklor started as a three piece consisting of current members Tony Cuchetti on guitar and vocals, Chris Cuchetti (Tony's nephew) on bass, and drummer Geo Russell. They began rehearsing their rough material and after hours in the rehearsal hall decided to test the music in front of a live audience. The response was very positive. People loved the original, fresh ideas and the bands ability to be very diverse and not simply sound the same with every song. Soon after they began playing out live they decided to put their music "on wax". Casual Folklor cut their first CD entitled "Twisted As You" in the summer of 1999. The CD had fourteen tracks, in their rough forms on it; a glorified demo if you will. The CD was sent to clubs and agents hoping to land more gigs. It landed a few here and there, but the feedback ...
