Known for her dusky, delicately nuanced vocal style, Melody Gardot has built a loyal fan base with her intimate blend of jazz, Latin, and Brazilian sounds. Persevering after suffering a life-threatening bicycle accident early in her career, she emerged to acclaim with 2007's Worrisome Heart and 2009's My One and Only Thrill, drawing comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Nina Simone, and others.
