The Norah Jones Interview On ‘Morning Edition’

Filed Under Music, Podcast | 2 Comments

I love Norah Jones.   Her new album has a very different sound. It’s definitely on my Christmas list.

Norah’s new album was recorded with a new band of well-known session musicians. Drummer Joey Waronker has worked with Beck and R.E.M. Guitarists Marc Ribot and Smokey Hormel have performed on records by Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer. Keyboardist James Poyser has contributed to records by Erykah Badu, Al Green and Common, and is a member of The Roots’ house band on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Legendary R&B drummer James Gadson — who’s performed on studio sessions with Bill Withers, Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock — lends additional work. (source: NPR)
