Philadelphia native Melody Gardot's music is unable to be defined by genre, ranging from soulful, sultry, sassy, rich, and emotive. A Grammy-nominated jazz-pop singer-songwriter, Gardot's performance on Live At The Olympia Paris is both intimate and emotional, as captured at the legendary venue in the French capital (originally created in the Belle Époque era), and her band is at the top of their form. Playing both guitar and piano, Gardot focuses primarily on songs from her most recent album Currency Of Man and 2009's My One And Only Thrill, with a couple of surprise tracks thrown in for good measure.
Beyond her captivating expertise as a songwriter, vocalist, and performer, Melody Gardot is a beacon for perseverance against adversity. At the age of 19, Gardot sustained multiple head injuries in an accident, and her love of music served as the best form of therapy while hospitalized for months, resulting in her 2005 EP debut Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions.
