Acclaimed singer Melody Gardot returns to Philadelphia! Gardot's newly released fourth album, Currency of Man, debuted at No. 1 on the US, Canadian, and Australian Jazz Charts. With its funky bass rhythms, retro-soul brass arrangements, euphoric gospel singers, and esoteric orchestrations, Currency of Man transports us back to the late Sixties and early Seventies. The songs remind her listeners that while she is often compared to musical icons like Nina Simone, Judy Garland, or Edith Piaf, Melody Gardot is a unique talent with a beautiful voice and a well-earned reputation as a truly great live performer.
