Merci beaucoup Miss Mady :)
Format:DVD
A well produced concert DVD, fantastic music and a good concert. It could have been a bit longer, it good have included a few more of the old hits. Otherwise it is almost perfect. There are not that many good music DVDs out there, except Diana Krall, Christina Branco, and a few more so this one stands out.

Something Grand - Sometimes Too Close
25 Feb 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Madeleine Peyroux's DVD performance is kind of very grown-up blue. Nice, ballady slow swing. I've listened to Madeleine since her first CD recording of 1996 (Dreamland). She made me wait a lifetime until her next release, which came at the end of the century. Anyone who has read about her singing life knows that she has been singing for most of her life - in those cities around the world where they love jazz and blues - and learning along the way. It's evident in her maturity of talent. She plays excellent guitar, but you'd never know it because her primary quality is her shyness. Everything she does is shy, yet wide-eyed and willing. Madeleine has a musical intelligence that nearly glares at you, but she restrains that genius and turns it into a precious gift. I think the giving part of her music is inextricable from its sound.
This performance (though a tad self-conscious for being a DVD performance) is a wonderful gift from Madeleine.
Sometimes - no, often - the camera gets too close, in too tight. It's unnecessary: with your eyes closed you know she doesn't wear glitter and gloss make-up.

Watch Out Diana Krall
7 Mar 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This DVD really is something grand. It features a concert in a Los Angeles club and includes five videos of acoustic songs and a documentary.
Madeleine Peyroux was born in Athens Georgia in 1974. At the age of 13 she moved to Paris and became a street singer. In her first solo album Dreamland, released in 1997 with a cover of Edith Piaf's signature song La Vie en Rose and Patsy Cline's Walkin' After Midnight, she sounds like the reincarnation of Billie Holiday. Her next album Careless Love (2004) opens with a cover of Leonard Cohen's Dance Me To The End of Love and includes Josephine Baker's J'ai Deux Amours and Bob Dylan's You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You're Gone. In 2006 Half the Perfect World was released with more covers, followed by Bare Bones in 2009, which includes some of her own compositions.
Peyroux is the most talented jazz singer to appear in many years. I would love to see as her next offering a Live in Paris DVD/CD combo with mostly French songs, unlike Diana Krall's all English concert in Paris.

wow...this musician/singer is so fresh/unique and wonderful!
7 Feb 2010
Format:DVD
I am shocked to be writing the first review....
I stumbled onto this DVD today and remembering how much I enjoyed her first album a few years back grabbed it!
Madeleine sings in a style that reminds me of Billie Holiday and accompanies herself on a small bodied acoustic guitar playing fingerstyle ...and very well at that!
I find her phrasing and voice so unique and of another time and yet totally fresh.
I would imagine if Madeleine were a bit more photogenic I wouldn't be the first reviewer and she'd be much more popular which is a sad state of our current society. Goodness, where would Ella Fitzgerald be today? Oh...she would be endorsing Jenny Craig and showing up on reality TV shows...instead of making hundreds of classic recordings. But lets get back to this DVD...a wonderfully filmed show a bit over an hour is joined by a very interesting documentary and a sensationally revealing acoustic set!!! Great Artist and GREAT value for money.
