I've been buying a few DVD concert videos and this is one of my favourites...
Some of Nora Jones' most popular songs are on this DVD: "Don't know Why (I Didn't Come)" and "Come Away with Me" are my favourites. There are a total of 20 or more songs altogether and the instrumental line-up on stage is constantly changing, which makes for a nice variety of sounds.
The music is mellow and understated, at least until Dolly Parton comes on for her guest spot and sings "Creepin' in''! I have to admit that I never thought I'd see Nora and Dolly singing together, but then this concert was in Nashville, and so some country music didn't seem out of place.
We all know Nora Jones is a great vocalist whose voice slides effortlessly from note to note. But I was struck by how good a jazz pianist she is as I watched this concert. She really has a lovely light touch... very smooth...
