Norah Jones Fans

Recommended Posts

According to

http://www.norahjones.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=NJNTL&Category_Code=MUSIC

Special guests include Jesse Harris, M. Ward, Larry Goldings, Richard Julian, Robbie McIntosh, and Tony Scherr, among others

The main set of musicians is

Norah Jones - vocals, piano

Lee Alexander - bass

Andrew Borger - drums

Adam Levy - guitars

Daru Oda - background vocals

There's no mention of Breit, but I think he was brought in in the past by the producer(s) of the record(s).

Aloha,

Brad

That is awesome M. Ward and Tony Scherr. Tony really gets around (Rick Moranis, Chris and Kate, Bill Frisell, on and on...). I'm really surprised more people around here don't listen to M. Ward around here. The guy is fabulous from the Transgressions of Vincent up to Post War.

I'm a big fan of Transgressions of Vincent and the one before it. I haven't heard Post War yet. (didn't know about it actually) He is indeed amazing; still pretty lullabye esque though! I know theres much more to his story.. What other band was he in or involved with? A duet with Norah Jones could be pretty nice.

I wonder if Kevin Breit's on it. I get the sense they don't work together any more.

From www.bluenote.com :

On January 30, 2007, Norah Jones will release her third and most personal statement to-date. With Not Too Late, Norah's songwriting takes center stage, allowing for a much more complete picture of Norah herself, her personality, her humor, her mind.

Many of the musicians on Not Too Late will be familiar to Norah's fans, including guitarists Jesse Harris, Adam Levy, Robbie McIntosh, and Kevin Breit, drummer Andy Borger, and singer Daru Oda, with many special guests lending their talents as well, from M. Ward to jazz organist Larry Goldings to Kronos Quartet cellist Jeff Ziegler.

Not Too Late further establishes Norah Jones as a timeless artist with a distinctive sound, loyal and expanding fanbase, and a level of artistry that will continue to grow and delight listeners for years to come.

So.... now the album's out, but for some reason no one is talking about it!

I picked it up today, and after one listen I have to say that it's pretty damn good. She has managed to sound different from her second album, which was in turn different from the first one. This one sounds a little more folky and more stripped-down than the others. I read in an interview that she was thinking of Tom Waits when doing some of this material, and it shows (not in the singing, of course!).

Anyway, my initial reaction is quite positive.

(P.S. - for you Kevin Breit fans, he is only listed as playing mandolin on one track.)

oh yeah! I will have to get this as well. Thanks for the reminder.

She played a few tunes live on Breakfast Television on Thursday and we setup the PVR...but something weird happened and only half of the show was recorded. We missed the performance.

Jaimoe, PM me if you can get video of it please!

I'm pretty sure BT is not recorded, but I'll have a look today for a broadcast tape.

I'd buy a ticket if M.Ward is still opening, but there's no clear info on that. THeatre st. denis, pretty cool. Only space for about 750 or so I think. This will probably sell out quick.

Edit; It appears they have 2 theatres there, and one holds about 2000. I guess that would be the one.

Post-War veteran M. Ward guested on Norah Jones' brand new album Not Too Late, and now he will tour with the Starbucks-ready singer and her Handsome Band for a month full of North American dates. So your mom will totally have a crush on him.

As previously reported, Merge will release "To Go Home" as the first single from Post-War on February 20 in the U.S. (4AD released it in Europe on January 29 in 7" and CD formats.) It features guest appearances from Neko Case, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, and more.

Ward has three early February dates in California with Victoria Williams supporting. They begin at Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre on February 2.

From the above article - "Ward has three early February dates in California with Victoria Williams supporting." Anyone find it ridiculous that Victoria Williams is opening for him?
