Madeleine Peyroux | Friday, April 9, 2010:
Though her vocals are often compared to the legendary Billie Holiday, Madeleine Peyroux has a unique sound all her own. Her 2004 release Careless Love continues to be a staple on the list of iTunes bestselling jazz albums and has sold over one million copies worldwide. Since her debut album in 1996, the eclectic chanteuse has opened for Grammy-winner Sarah McLachlan, recorded the arrangements of many diverse artists from Bob Dylan to Edith Piaf to Hank Williams, and received the 2007 Best International Jazz Artist at the BBC Jazz Awards. Weekend of Jazz is looking forward to bringing the magical voice of Madeleine Peyroux to The Broadmoor. www.madeleinepeyroux.com
