Born and raised in New Jersey, US, Melody Gardot took to music from an early age, eventually becoming a regular performer in Philadelphia, US nightclubs, during her time studying as a fashion student at the Community College of Philadelphia. Gardot's life was turned upside down, after suffering a bicycle accident that left Gardot fighting for her live, eventually spending several months recovering from multiple head injuries and pelvic fractures.
Whilst in recovery, music was to be the therapy that Gardot needed, helping combat her amnesia and find her past musical talents once again.
The accident left her with hypersensitivity to both sound and light, which meant she could only listen to soft, gentle music, influencing her own direction. Whilst in her hospital bed, she taught herself guitar and began to write the songs which would eventually become her debut EP, "Some Lessons," released in Having improved dramatically over the year, Gardot decided to pursue a career in music after recovering, with her debut EP being followed by her independently recorded full-length, "Worrisome Heart.

Melody Gardot in the Noches Del Botanico in Madrid: an open air show on a hot summer night and amazing music from one of my favourite singers. She is an artist who can touch me deeply, as she did with her incredible rendition of Morning Sun from the same album and a simple, but extremely powerful See-Line Woman, the iconic song by Nina Simone, which she made completely her own in a version full of respect for the original, but still being able to add something special to it.
The Madrid audience was fully behind her and sang with her creating some extremely beautiful moments. Melody Gardot and her band were in great form last night and delivered what easily could be the concert of the year for me.
Philadelphian Melody Gardot may only be thirty years old yet she has already made quite an impression on the jazz scene with her impeccable musical talent and honest songwriting voice.
There is a wonderfully personable, warm mentality to Melody's stage demeanour and she clearly enjoys the company of her accompanying musicians as they involve each other during earthy, acoustic instrumentals. There is an assumed manner about the singer, she simply seems grateful to have the opportunity to stand onstage and share her music with the attentive audiences.
You would never believe this lady is so esteemed in the music world, having been nominated for numerous Grammy awards. A note perfect rendition of 'Baby I'm a Fool' makes the audience understand as to why many have compared Melody's music to Nina Simone. There is a rich, natural tone to her vocal and an organic humanistic approach to the way in which she makes music. It was a fantastic evening with smooth jazzy soul-funky music.
Melody Gardot was surrounded degrees by audiences in the DR- concert hall, and she managed to take us all in and have a dialogue with us. She and her 7 man band received an immediate standing ovation from a sold out concert hall. I walked out into the night feeling somewhat changed in mind and heart. My sense of connection with the friend that I brought to the concert had somewhat deepened.
And on top of frightening terrorist acts in Paris the week before, this gave us love and hope and a sense of connectedness in our hearts. Music is powerful. A bit much noise of sound and whispering. It was a bit disappointing as a show.
I drifted away from concentration too often. Sometimes Melody sang beautifully concentrated in the ballads like 'Our love is easy" and " Baby, i'm a fool " My personal highlights. Overall she did not make much of an impression to me with her new poppy and loud screaming sound, although the instrumentalists were great sometimes trumpet, sax, guitar etc.
She talks a lot but is hard to actually hear what she is mumbling. Im a die hard fan from her first album till the fourth, which are all very good albums This is my third concert and it wasn't the best. Might not go anymore for a next gig. Barbican Centre.
