I saw Madeleine perform at Yoshi's in Oakland tonight.  Yoshi's is a nice venue, but they always have the artists do two shows in one night (8pm and 10pm).  Unfortunately, this does not always make for a smooth transition between letting out the first group and letting in the second group.  She only played for an hour, but I'm not complaining though - the show was great.  It's always so wonderful to find an artist who sounds even better live, and Madeleine definitely falls into that category.

On a girlie note, Madeleine was wearing the same outfit seen in the pictures from Le Jazz Au Bar.  I only mention this because I love the shirt.  Normally I'm not a fan of brown pants (five years of Catholic school where we were only allowed to wear pants when it snowed, and brown pants at that, scarred me for life!), but I was willing to make an exception.

Thanks to lorilynn55 for the warning about the CD prices at the show.  I was going to wait and buy mine there, but after hearing they were $20 I decided to buy it at the local record store instead.  I was disappointed that they didn't have any copies of Got You on My Mind though.

Some of the songs from tonight's set list:

Dance Me to the End of Love

Don't Wait Too Long

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

Between the Bars

J'ai Deux Amours

Weary Blues

Lonesome Road

Walkin' After Midnight

I'll Look Around

Careless Love

Spreading Around

This Is Heaven to Me

I just heard Madeleine Peyroux for the first time on the radio and the
second time I heard her I went out (ITunes) and bought her album.
All I can say about her music is WOW! I really don't know the words to do
justice to it, but I do love it.

I fell in love with Madeleine's voice when the first CD was played on BBC Radio 2 some years ago.  I tried to find a follow up but it seemed she had disappeared from the scene.  Then I found an advert for her appearance at the London Jazz Festival in November AND a new CD out -  I immediately bought tickets for the gig on November 14th and will be buying the CD as soon as I can get hold of it.  She's the best of the current chanteuses with the Lady Day influence for my money - good to see her back.

I was really surprised, when I heard Madleine for the first time in Polish radio. "Dance Me To The End Of Love" is a very frequently played song in my favourite radio station. The voice like diamond - touch of Billy Holiday and completely new interpretation of very famous hit of Leonard Cohen, made a great impression to me. Then, when I saw 'Careless Love" CD in music store, I bought it without doubts. And I made a good decision, because this CD is very special. From last week, I am listening to it at home, at my car, at work, finding all the time something new.This CD is like a medicine for everyday stress, lets me take a deep, fresh breath and have a real joy of listen to Madleine voice and her interpretations.

One of my favourite CDs purchased this year, and the most favorite in late autumn...

I first heard this voice while sitting in a remote farm house in Vermont - 3 feet of snow outside th huge panoramic window - at breakfast - we were visiting friends who ran a very nice "Inn" in Brarnard. Its not often I relax, but when I heard the voice I knew it would not be the last time - especailly as we bought Dreamland straight away -

So now there is Careless Love - what should I do? - wait until I have heard Madeleine at PizzaExpress on the 14th Nov or buy it now -

Think I will wait -

Stuart -did you enjoy the gig at the Pizza Express as much as I did -I thought she was fantastic and a very beautiful lady as well as the best jazz singer in the world at the moment - it was a rare privilege. I would go to the Festival Hall gig if I could (although I doubt this is the best environment to showcase her style) and I am going to buy at least 10 of the CDs to give away this Xmas - how about doing the same ?

George

we arrived a bit late, but having booked were escorted to a table about 4 ft from the hammond organ. It was all a bit strange at first as clearly a lot of people didint know what she looked like. Arrived on stage and at last some applause.

Stunning is the only way to describe her voice. I thought she might have been a bit nervous, and I dont think that people eating their pizza a few feet away helped. But she performed beautifully.

I think that one day I will be able to say "we were there on that famous night"

Need to see where she is singing again soon

Stuart

I have just discovered Ms Peyroux!!  Careless Love is my first listen to her....what a hauntingly fantastic voice.  I am thrilled to have found her. 

I only wish she had a Florida city on her tour....or at least the Southeast on the schedule.

What a find indeed!

 

Always, Dawn.
