Melody Gardot

Besides having such an amazing voice and soft, jazzy beautiful sound, Melody also has a story that makes you appreciate her music that much more. She was riding her bike and was hit by a car when she was 19 and it left her with a debilitating head injury. A doctor encouraged her to use music to help heal herself and you can see the amazing results for yourself here, here and here. She holds a similar style to Diana Krall and Norah Jones and is definitely worth checking out. I love to listen to this kind of music late in the afternoon when the day has been crazy and you can put on headphones and just sort of check out for awhile...
