Madeleine Peyroux [pronounced like the country Peru] was born in Athens, Georgia, she grew up between Brooklyn, Southern California and Paris, though it was in the City of Light where she found her voice. As a teen she was drawn to street music, and in 1989 she started to perform with a group of buskers. She then joined the Lost Wandering Blues & Jazz Band, becoming the only female in the group, which toured around Europe for several years. Madeleine burst onto the recording scene in 1996, with her stunning debut album Dreamland. Madeleine was greeted with a veritable torrent of gushing reviews. Most raved about her smoke-and-whiskey vocals, often comparing her to the late, great Billie Holiday. Others wondered how someone so young could perform classic songs by Holiday, Bess More...

To write about how Madeline Peyroux sings? There's no substitute fo just hearing her voice, listening to it. So go and listen to it. Music reviews are just a form of self-expression. Reviewers are just lost souls. For those of us who have gone to extrordinary lengths to hear the best Jazz music possible, there is nothing, really nothing that can compare to a brilliant vocalist. In many regards Jazz allows the sort of nuance and space to really feel what a singer is saying with each song. When I was a teenager I would travel to Yoshi's in Oakland to watch Betty Carter do her thing. Carter was one of the last great Jazz vocalists; one whose voice was an instrument in the band in the same way a saxaphone or piano was. Madeleine Peyroux, in her cover of "Between the Bars," adds nuance to each verse and builds the song into a rich emotional landscape one can get lost in. It is really just impossible to adequately write about her music. I don't think I can do it. It's too complicate. Really. Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Don't Wait Too Long performed by Madeleine Peyroux Great song. Nice beat and the message it gives touches my heart in just the right way. Great voice.
