My One and Only Thrill
Melody Gardot · 2009
Contemporary, and it still sounds right at eleven o'clock on a Mediterranean terrace.
Why it matters
The test for modern music in this house is simple, and this passes it. Gardot writes torch songs without irony and Larry Klein produced them with the patience of someone making a record for adults. Strings where they matter, silence everywhere else.
The Continental setting
Eleven at night, a hotel terrace above the sea, the last drink of the evening.
