Melody Gardot - My One And Only Thrill

My One And Only Thrill follows on from Gardot's debut album, Worrisome Heart--a record that established the singer-songwriter as a serious (and seriously global) talent. Fans will be pleased to hear that her seductive mlange of subdued jazz, introspective blues and insouciant pop is continued on this second outing. Mercurial double bass, whispered hi hats and melodic piano and sax flow mellifluously through tracks such as the tranquil On The Rain, the torch song Baby I'm A Fool and the swinging Who Will Comfort Me? Of special note is Gardots weightless, samba-fied version of Harold Arlen's Somewhere Over The Rainbow and the Blue Note-esque Les Etoiles. If you love Sinatra, Holiday, Jobim and Fitzgerald, youll find it hard not to dig Gardot.
