I love soft jazz. Singers like Eva Cassidy and Madeleine Peyroux can be found on my iRiver. I would have loved to have gone to hear Billie Holiday in her prime. And having had a musical education, I particularly a good melody. So it was great to come across Worrisome Heart - the debut album from Melody Gardot (You can hear Melody sing the title track on NBC here). It’s smooth, well crafted, with an acoustic-bluesy edge. I especially like the fact that she wrote all the songs herself. I don’t think there’s a stand out track – they’re all good – although I love the feel on Quiet Fire. Enjoy!
