Melody Gardot - 16h USA
Melody Gardot (voc, p), Jorge Bezerra (perc), Wilbur Thompson (bg), Sylvain Gontard (tp), Philippe Baden Powell (p)
A truly exceptional highlight, Melody Gardot’s appearance will mark the 43rd edition of Cully Jazz. Continuing a vocal tradition of hushed intimacy in the vein of Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and Edith Piaf, the American singer-songwriter will perform two Sunday concerts in the Chapiteau. Over a 15-year career shaped by a remarkable recovery from a serious accident, the artist—who was singing and writing even before fully regaining her voice—has built a timeless and original repertoire. She will showcase the breadth of her talent through iconic songs, many of which appear on her anniversary album, The Essential Melody Gardot.
