Melody GardotFestival Jazz Cinq ContinentsMelody Gardot has established herself as a singer/songwriter with her fragile ballads. Her first two albums, “Worrisome Heart” and “My One and Only Heart”, contain some of the most beautiful songs since Nina Simone left the stage. In June 2015, Gardot released Currency Of Man, her fourth album.allmusic.com wrote: “On Currency of Man, Gardot takes on a rootsier sound, embracing West Coast soul, funk, gospel, and pop from the early ’70s as the backdrop for these songs. It is not only different musically, but lyrically. This is a less “personal” record; its songs were deeply influenced by the people she encountered in LA, many of them street denizens. She tells their stories and reflects on themes of social justice. It’s wide angle.”Set 100:00 Don’t Misunderstand 7:2207:22 Same To You 7:2514:47 She Don’t Know 4:5719:44 Bad News 6:5626:40 March For Mingus 8:3335:12 Morning Sun 13:5849:10 Melody talks 2:1351:23 Love Is Easy 6:34Set 20:57:57 Melody talks 1:230:59:20 Baby I’m A fool/Who Will Comfort Me (cut) 9:151:08:34 ~ Who Will Comfort Me (end) 3:401:12:14 Melody talks 3:131:15:27 Preacherman 12:521:28:17 It Gonna Come 14:47Lineup:Melody Gardot - guitar, piano, vocalsShareef Clayton - trumpetIrwin Hall - saxophone, clarinet, fluteSylvester Uzoma Onyejiaka - baritone saxophoneMitchell Long - guitar, vocalsDevin Greenwood - keyboardsEdwin Livingstone - bassCharles Staab - drums
