Norah Jones

The willowy jazz-based music of songwriter, singer, and pianist Norah Jones can change a lot from one release to the next.

Jones herself has changed a lot, too.

She was born in Manhattan in 1979 (her father was Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar), and when her 2002 debut, Come Away with Me, hit, Jones became a diamond-certified artist—shy, sometimes wanting to fade into the background, yet huge.
