im sure Jazzbo would be 'more than familliar' with her and her work...
if so, whats your take on her in the jazz area Jazzy???

Over and above the sheer beauty of her writing and singing is the extreme adversity she's had to overcome to get there. Read that bio again and be amazed.
I forget now how I was introduced to her but this album made me a fan forever: http://www.allmusic.com/album/my-one-and-only-thrill-mw0000811208 The Usual Suspect has her stuff for a reasonable price.

Thanks Jazz,
I'm thinking about getting a couple of her albums today as they're reasonable priced here also
Is there two you would recommend to me as a starting point/intro??

With only 4 major releases out, you can't go wrong with any of them. She showed great progress between CD 1 and CD 2. She's only 30 so a brilliant future lies ahead. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/melody-gardot-mn0000546205/discography << That live album is strictly a collector's item--its equal for a live perf is on YouTube.
