I have this one, live from the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville.
Awesome
Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
Norah Jones is the darling of Jazz and Audiophile press for a few years. I've heard her albums, maybe even bought one. Look, being a musical artist is hard as hell and I can't do it, but I realize in listening to others talk about her that I'm missing something special while listening to her.
Please, without wanting to pile on her, if you love her tell me why. What has you going about Miss Jones that makes her a standout? No wrong answers.

Softness. Looks, Voice, Touch on the Keyboard. And I love the way she plays the small Wurlitzer. Always great musicians with her Saw her live, she played a Guitar, also a soft touch. I would love to see her do something, anything, with her half sister, Anouska, another beauty I was lucky enough to see/hear live also.

jerryg123 I agree with you about her newer stuff. I first heard Diana Krall many years ago, on the radio, WBGO. Listening, all of a sudden: who's that piano player? End of program they announced names. I assumed an old veteran who had mastered the touch I was hearing. In her early days she played piano much more. She adopted the Nat King Cole sideways position, playing while often looking sideways at the audience. Saw/heard her in New Orleans, played a lot there. Later, her looks became big, she sings much more than plays which is a shame. Saw her live with Tony Bennett at Radio City, that was terrific.
