_____________________________________________
Imagine the voice of a husky Eva Cassidy, or Macy Gray after deep-tissue massage,
singing to you in an empty bar late at night.
Thats Norah Jones on her debut album, Come Away With Me.
Though released on Blue Note, its not quite jazz, its a set of country-blues ballads
more reminiscent of Eric Clapton Unplugged.
Come Away With Me acknowledges its roots in tracks by country musics Hank Williams and J.D.Loudermilk. Hanks Cold Cold Heart is delicately jazz-flavoured, with skeletal instrumentation, a syncopated bass riff and Norahs voice the texture of suede; while J.D. Loudermilks Turn Me On reveals a grittier edge.
Most of the other numbers here were written by Norah and her posse, and feature her light touch on piano.
Feelin the Same Way and Lonestar by Nora's bassist boyfriend, Lee Alexander, have
simple melodic lines and lyrics which don't warrant scrutiny, but the subtle and
sensitive vocal performances elevate them.
Tom Waits could be hiding in the shadows in the best song on the album,
I've Got to See You Again by guitarist Jesse Harris, here, the combination of Norahs
controlled vocals and strains of mournful gypsy jazz violin evoke a dark mood which
turns to nostalgia in Painter Song with its folky accordion and Fairground Attraction-
style rhythm section.
As Norah and producer Arif Mardin were switching out the lights in the recording
studio, waving goodbye to the band and heading for the bar, they must have realised
Dammit, we didnt record any jazz!
That would explain the last track on the album - The Nearness of You.
Its an intimate cocktail lounge portrait of the jazz standard, with a soulful edge;
just Norah accompanying herself on piano - simple but tasteful.
Norah has such a feel for the music that she can make her voice soar and carry you
with her, then deposit you gently back in your living room.
The bare bones instrumentation is a perfect vehicle for her, and her timing and feel
are just right. Try it.
