Melody Gardot

Hailing from our very own Philadelphia, Melody Gardot synthesizes the influences of jazz legends such as Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin in her powerfully understated sound. Kick-starting her musical career at the age of sixteen with weekend piano performances in Philly lounges and bars, Gardot graced local audiences decades ago with a variety of jazz standards as well as not-so-conventional numbers from contemporary groups such as Radiohead. Her most recent album, The Absence, released… Show more earlier this May, has already claimed the number one crown on the US Jazz chart as well as VG-Lista, Norwegian record chart.
