	Norah Jones - Biography - AOL Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sultry vocalist and pianist Norah Jones developed her unique blend of jazz and traditional vocal pop with hints of bluesy country and contemporary folk due in large part to her unique upbringing.
		Putting her vocal talents on the back burner, Jones worked toward earning a degree in jazz piano at the University of North Texas for two years before accepting a friend's offer of a summer sublet in Greenwich Village during the summer of 1999.
		Jones appeared regularly with the trip-hop-electronica band Wax Poetic and assembled her own group around songwriters Jesse Harris (guitar) and Lee Alexander (bass), with Dan Rieser on drums.

	Norah Jones
		Born in New York City to nurse (and former dancer) Sue Jones and sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, Norah Jones was raised exclusively by her mother in the U.S., receiving little contact with her father or the Indian half of her heritage.
		When she turned four Jones was relocated to a suburb of Dallas, where she developed an interest in music by way of her mother's Billie Holiday records and participation in the church choir.
		Jones excelled in her studies, earning multiple performance and composition awards, and gaining entrance into the University of North Texas as a jazz piano major shortly after her high school graduation.

	Norah Jones - PopMatters Concert Review
		Newcomer Norah Jones poured her voice into the dinner theater at Bimbo's night club in San Francisco with all the force of a flash flood.
		But Jones had nothing to prove, and the thrift with which she spent each note resulted in songs with Zen-like perfection, seamlessly weaving genre after genre into a set that swayed from country to jazz to folk ballads to bluesy soul.
		Jones was excellent at shifting the cadence and inflection of her lyrics.

	Norah Jones
		Norah Jones' two vocal mics — she sings a few songs at a Wurlitzer electric piano — are Neumann KMS 105s.
		Though Jones relied on wedge monitors at Bimbo's, she has also used in-ear monitors when appearing on a larger stage, such as when she did five dates opening for the Indigo Girls earlier in the tour.
		Norah Jones also did well at Bimbo's, where the audience sat attentively throughout the 20-song set, which included some new songs and a few well-chosen covers: Kris Kristofferson's “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” Mose Allison's “Everybody's Cryin' Mercy,” and “Bessie Smith,” another song from The Band's catalog.

		Norah Jones is a humble, polished performer who never lets her own ambition cloud her purpose -- performing brilliant, deceptively simple and beautiful music.
		Norah Jones is not solely a jazz pianist with a great sound -- she is a sensitive songwriter as well.

		Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience, and some careful listening to artists like JJ Cale and Shirley Horn, is the knack of remaining low-key without being sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more.
		Norah's voice, which is a beautiful sound on the ear, takes you through a fantastic series of songs each as beautiful as the last.
		Norah Jones is amazing, she's talented and has produced the perfect album here with Come Away With Me. This CD is frequently on my CD player, because it has the power of suiting most moods..

		There is the aesthetic explanation—Norah Jones and her foot soldiers are organic, grass-fed artists taking back the castle from the injection-molded, polyblend popbots who are accused of a number of crimes against music.
		Jones has managed to make music that is universally useful, like a paper clip, but personal enough that listeners think they discovered it for themselves.
		Jones begs, quietly, always quietly, for redemption: “Please, please, please forgive me.” It’s a lovely song, but not nearly as grim as it wants to be.

		Under Arif Mardin's cozy coproduction, Jones is supported by her writing partners, her Handsome Band, and some special guests (country legend Dolly Parton, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of the Band, and jazz drummer Brian Blade, to name a few).
		Jones' voice is still beautiful, her piano playing is lovely, and her backup musicians, The Handsome Band, are amazing.
		Norah's vocals and the song it self is very powerful and uplifting, and I like how it has more than one climax.

	Norah Jones: Come Away With Me (2002): Reviews
		Gorgeous and intimate, the 14 songs on her debut disc ache with romantic maturity and a smart, slow-jam sexiness that belies the fact that, at 22, Jones is hardly older than Britney.
		Norah's inspirationally beautiful and eloquent voice slowly rock you away into another place, another land that lets you be carried away by anything she says.
		This smoky jazz singer truly shows that she has the talent enough to be chosen by a label, and as one might dare say, enough to make an album as sucessfull as hers is. And, that's only her voice.
