Norah Jones - Amos Lee - Tom Waits

Saw Norah Jones at the Key Arena tonight. What a talented musician she is. A great performer.

It was a nice relaxing concert; she played a lot of her hits and a fair amount of stuff not on her albums. The band playing with her is great too. It's really nice to see great musicians, besides getting to listen to her great voice. I think she is a classic jazz/blues/pop singer that will have her own special place in music for decades to come. She is just amazing...she can play piano with both hands as they say, and sing like an angel.

The opening act was a solo guitar playing singer Amos Lee. He did a nice job. I bought one of his CD's which he autographed. It was a tough to be the opening act in that venue, with the lights on, people walking around and talking. He has a voice that reminds me of Kenny Loggins. Some good stuff.

I'm staying up a little late to watch Tom Waits on Dave Letterman tonight. It will be interesting to see how he's doing.
