MY ONE AND ONLY THRILL Songs and conversation featuring MELODY GARDOT
Melody Gardots route has been an unconventional and often arduous one. Growing up in Philadelphia, she starts music lessons at nine, and was playing piano in local lounges at 16. After being hit by a car and severely injured when she was 19, music became a key therapeutic element in her lengthy recovery process.
"Like a lot of people my age. I listened to music. "But after the accident, I couldn't tolerate anything above a whisper. I sought out other, quieter things. My friends gave me records, and one of the first was Stan Getz's The Bossa Nova Years. I remember doing physical therapy to that, being on the treadmill, trying to learn to walk again. That kind of music became infectious for me."
While still working to regain her mobility, she began writing her own songs for the first time. "Something touches me or makes an impact on me, and if I'm lucky, I can catch it and turn it into something worthwhile."
