Struck a Blue Note

At a meeting with Blue Note president Bruce in January 2001, Jones played her three-song tape, hoping to earn a break. Bruce was so impressed with this young girl's talents that he signed her on the spot. After little more than a year of work, Norah Jones released her debut album,Come Away With Me. Norah Jones has already sold 2.6 million copies of the album, which is 10 times more than any album in Blue Note history. Despite the lack of publicity, her album is inching its way up the music charts while the debut singleDon't Know Whyis climbing up the Adult Top 40 chart.

The sultry-voiced neo-jazz singer already enjoyed a stunning sweep at the Grammy Awards in 2003, where she picked up five trophies in the major categories (Album of the Year, Record of the Year forDon't Know Why, Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance forDon't Know Why, and Best Pop Vocal Album). It's clear that this is only the beginning for Miss Jones.

The future is looking good for Norah Jones. After keeping her fans waiting for two years, Norah released her second album,Feels Like Home, in February. It already looks like it'll be as successful as her first. And this time around, everyone in the music industry is taking her seriously.
