The Blue room

Madeleine Peyroux's new album, 'The Blue Room', sees the genre blending singer reworking some landmark musical gems, in a repeat collaboration with long time Peyroux producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Walter Becker, Tracy Chapman, Herbie Hancock.) The result is a sophisticated album that rather than just 'cross over', seamlessly fuses musical styles together to create an entirely new sound. 'The Blue Room' started life as Klein's reexamination of Ray Charles's classic, 'Modern Sounds Of Country And Western Music', but soon moved away from being a "strictly Ray Charles album". Much like Charles who in 1962 jelled Soul, Gospel, Country and Jazz, "Madeleine is at a nexus of styles, blending Jazz, Blues, Country and Pop". For 'The Blue Room' Larry Klein has again called upon the talents of award winning engineer / mixer Helik Hadar as well as stellar musicians Dean Parks, Larry Goldings, Jay Bellerose and David Piltch.
