Character Evaluation
"Norah Jones has profound knowledge in jazz, she is a unique artist. I have never denied Norah Jones' music, but her music is influenced by jazz, but also has elements of country music
." ( )
Norah Jones has never admitted that she is a jazz singer, "Come Away with Me" is just her first try, so it's no wonder she did it on her debut.It’s a beautiful misunderstanding to be dubbed a jazz by the public. Since the beginning of "The Fall", Nora has been able to understand the contemporary rock and country that gradually evolved from jazz, but she actually flopped for herself, so she is not so much jazz, it is better to say that she has absorbed the roots of American music. Essence, collection of the strengths learned by everyone
. ( )
In the Western music scene where popular music is in command, jazz is a niche music, but Norah Jones has changed this. Her "Fly Away" album has set a global sales record and topped the Billboard Album Chart. Her appearance has filled the jazz music scene, which has not had a surprise for a long time, with a hint of youthful vitality. Norah Jones allows the majority of music fans to realize that jazz is not only a traditional improvisational swing, but when it is integrated with other music genres, it can also be presented with such brilliant works
