Essential Albums
- Soothing and melodic, Come Away With Me draws listeners in effortlessly. Yes, this album could provide a musical backdrop for thousands of dinner parties but it's much more than just thoughtfully arranged, low-key mood music — these are well written pop songs expertly performed. Norah Jones is a talented pianist blessed with a warm and smoky voice that seamlessly blends jazz, soul, and country into an intoxicating brew. The songs are a mix of covers from many styles, ranging from Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" to Hank Williams' "Cold, Cold Heart," along with tracks written by Jesse Harris and Lee Alexander, her guitarist and bassist respectively, as well as three by Jones herself. And while this isn't exactly a jazz album, she is supported by a large cast of first-rate jazz musicians (including guitarist Bill Frisell, drummer Brian Blade, and organist Sam Yehel) who understand her and provide some controlled sizzle to these consistently laid-back arrangements. With its quiet beauty, subtle power, and classic sound, it's no wonder Jones appeals to such a wide audience.

About Norah Jones
The willowy jazz-based music of songwriter, singer, and pianist Norah Jones can change a lot from one release to the next. Jones herself has changed a lot, too. She was born in Manhattan in 1979 (her father was Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar), and when her 2002 debut, Come Away with Me, hit, Jones became a diamond-certified artist—shy, sometimes wanting to fade into the background, yet huge. Her voice, tinged with smoke and yearning, tied the album's country, folk rock, and Great American Songbook sounds together and felt new and familiar at the same time. Since then, she's become comfortable in multiple settings, including with collective bands like The Little Willies, El Madmo, and Puss N Boots. She has also become a versatile collaborator, working with folks like Ray Charles, Dolly Parton, Belle and Sebastian, and Q-Tip. Her disarming piano playing, as loose with the beat as Willie Nelson's voice ever gets, is funny one minute and weeping a heartbeat later. On 2020's Pick Me Up off the Floor, Jones offers a sometimes-dark cycle of songs about loss and loneliness and living in the moment, a testament frequently tinged with gospel.
