1. Madeleine Peryoux
2. Her cover of Dance Me to the End of Love
3. When I first heard her, I could’ve swore she was Billie Holiday reincarnated
4. I love absolutely everything Billie Holiday sang
5. Peryoux’s straightforward approach to her music- she didn’t want to put out a second album right away, so she didn’t
6. She covered Elliot Smith’s Between the Bars too, which is divine
7. An evening with my writing and jazz
8. When a song or artist just grabs you and won’t let go
9. The hilarity of trying to write about music
10. “Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.” -Herbie Hancock
Thanks for posting, Belle. I like the Madeline Peyroux song you mention too. I also like what you say about trying to write about music. It reminds me of a friend quoting his music school prof, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture,” (or something like that.) Have a wonderful day!
