halfvalue.co.uk Review
When Madeleine Peyroux's debut, Dreamland,
was released in 1996, its success threw her for a
loop. She's taken eight years to create this
follow-up, and, at age 30, she brings a confidence
and resilience to this dozen-song set. She's able to
move seamlessly between songs by writers as diverse

Curtis Stigers has really found his footing, and
with I Think It's Going to Rain Today, he
continues to recast pop and rock ballads in easy,

A musical chameleon, pianist Keith Jarrett was at
his finest when he recorded these sustained solo
improvisations in a German concert hall in 1975, the
first lasting 26 minutes, the second 40. Melodies
and rhythmic figures arise fluidly from his fingers
as he moves from one idea to another, while...

This is the one jazz record owned by people who
don't listen to jazz, and with good reason. The band
itself is extraordinary (proof of Miles Davis's
masterful casting skills, if not of God's
existence), listing John Coltrane and Julian
"Cannonball" Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans (or,

In Come Away with Me, it is not just the
timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond
her years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are
more often found in older singers as well. She is
instantly recognisable, blending intimations of
Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding
like...

to feature every one of her great tunes - this still
contains many of her best known songs including

Twentysomething is a stunning second album.
After rising to prominence with his debut album
Pointless Nostalgic, Jamie Cullum signed to
Verve in spectacular fashion with a million pound
deal. If there was any pressure involved, Cullum
certainly doesn't let it show on his first album for
the label....
