“I finally made it to Tiny Desk,” singer-songwriter Norah Jones excitedly declares during her performance. Her first Tiny Desk experience was a solo piano and vocal (home) concert, which reflected all the meditative, sonic hallmarks of performing in isolation. Since her juggernaut debut album, Come Away With Me, was released in 2002, she has crafted intimate songs that showcase her beguiling vocals. In the course of building her genre expansive catalog, she has racked up nine Grammy awards and collaborations with as varied a group as you can imagine, from Herbie Hancock and Willie Nelson, to Q-Tip and Foo Fighters.
For her long-awaited in-person performance, Jones presents a light, breezy set of soulful tracks from her newest album, Visions, a collaboration with producer Leon Michels. “Paradise,” a deceptively light and whimsical tune about letting go, begins the concert, followed by the contemplative “Swept Up in the Night.” For the psychedelic “Staring at the Wall,” featuring Jones on the guitar, drummer Brian Blade and bassist Josh Lattanzi lay down a fun, body-moving groove. To close her set, Jones turns to the title track from her debut album, disclosing that the tune was written only using the five guitar chords she knew at the time. Here she reimagines her classic, opening it up in a dreamy fashion.

I sang Come Away With Me to my daughter from the time she was a newborn. It's been our song ever since. She turns 21 tomorrow. Thank you Norah
I’m now singing to my newborn😊😊so nice to see it other mothers also doing this
That's beautiful
Poor kid
God bless you and your daughter ❤
这是多么美好❤
When I was in middle school, it rained so much that I took a taxi. Then "don't know why" was playing on the radio. I can't forget that moment. After that, I went to a local music store, bought a new album, CD, and listened to it over and over again at home.
Thank you for making memories of my life!
Really cool how you phrased that "making memories of my life". I often think of songs or albums throughout my life that I know exactly where I was and even very minor details about what I was doing when I was listening to it. Music can be very impactful and I share this feeling of "memories of my life".
Nice. The first time I ever walked into a music shop and heard a song and immediately walked to the counter to purchase the CD without knowing anything about the artist was "Come Away With Me"... Captured forever 💜
Streetlight Records, San Francisco CA, February 2002
The" Don't know why " song is exceptional to me. I brings me to a special memory in in my past. Perfect descrption of a 60's-70's summertime down at the Jersey shore It has been on my top 10 list since I first heard it . Thank you Nora.
When I was in the Children’s hospital getting treated for my depression my music therapist played Norah Jones. She was part of my recovery and a true testament to the power of music! Thank you for showcasing someone who really did change my life ❤
thanks for sharing! glad you are doing well!
I can relate to that. Different circumstances, but 20 years ago I clung to the FLH CD like it was a literal comfort blanket during a specifically depressing period. Severe depression caused by bereavement. It wasn't just FLH but at that time it was the new "hotness" from Norah and I only very rarely played her debut album, and no music from anyone else no matter how good they are seemed to do anything. FLH calmed my mind even if only for brief periods, I would have gone insane without Norah Jones back then.
I hope and pray you are better . It makes sense to me that Nora Jones voice can awaken a sleepy soul . Thank you for surviving your depression.
Only who suffered that knows the light in music and the aprehension of aesthetic beauty
The Come away with me album takes me back to the happiest time of my life... that atmosphere just made me peaceful and content...
I remember sitting in my truck with a girl in 2003 after a crazy winter day, waiting for "Come Away with Me" to play on the CD so I could give her the first kiss. But it was like track 5 or something, so finally I skipped ahead to it and gave that kiss and told her I could not wait so many songs. That girl is long gone from my life, but the memory is fresh like yesterday. God Bless You, Norah Jones...
Eita coisa boa eh sentir o coracao bater por alguem
Cool story
More than many other artists and bands who have set foot here, this tiny desk format seems to fit Norah Jones like a glove.
Hear hear
Hej for MARO too 😎
yes, she lends herself to intimate settings.
Here ❤Hear …there ❤and everywhere❤
and no matter what their genius sound engineer makes it work.
Great to see Norah Jones here, just like to give my thanks to her for all the home videos she put up during COVID.

Thanks bro
The goat!
Thanks for sharing the titles of the songs💕
Her piano playing on "come away with me" is just brilliant.
Magic...
Like bells
Yeah, that's pure magic.
I like the original better.
Tiny desk was made for the great Norah Jones
I'd argue it's the other way round.
My friends, both can be true.
Yes, agreed 10000%
Totally agree, whoever created tiny desk had her in mind.
Agree. I saw her last night at an outdoor venue. She still sounds great, but had to compete with a lot of yapping people to hear her
Norah Jones renaissance in 2024 and I'm here for it.
Come Away With Me is one of my all time favourite songs.
Same!
For sure❤
All time
The whole album is phenomenal, one great song after another.
And this version is breathtaking 🥹
My mom would always put in the Norah Jones CD around fall. Reminds me of cold crisp mornings and the warmth of the sun on your face.
me too!
@@ChrisBrown-eu5bm gresat mom
I love how when she sings, the end of the words seem to disappear into thin air. This has always fascinated me and still does. Glad to hear her singing at the Tiny Desk.
that's beautifully accurate
@@untitled3891I thought the same,what a poetic and accurate description.
Her legato style is ideal
Soothing and Comforting...
Agree with This....
NORAH is AWESOME ! ! !
❤
Her trademark 😊
That rendition of 'Come Away With Me' felt like winding up a music box at my grandparents as a child. Spectacular.
Come On....
NORAH's Great Music isn't THAT OLD . . .
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE CLASSICS that perhaps make Us REFLECT BACK, RIGHT?
Hope So, as I don't View Her as "Old Time" like "Grandparental Tunes" !
SERIOUSLY!
😂 ❤
The comment was actually inspired by the love of her timing. It didn't have anything to do with the type of music. Plus, if newer music can be timeless, so could older. I even ended with spectacular, insinuating I meant something positive.
Good day.
It is that old
The most comforting voice I've ever heard.
I agree relaxing i think
She does have a smooth but at the same time slightly raspy voice, I totally love her music, huge fan. Spotify wrapped told me I am on the 0.04% of people that listen to more Norah Jones on their app😂😂😂😂
Under-rated and under-appreciated. Been a fan for over 25 years and she just gets better and better. She's also my cat Kitty's favorite singer. As soon as he hears her voice, he stops everything and is completely still and listening until the entire album ends. 👍👍🫶😇
Ooo I’ll have to try that!
Underrated? Do you think so? I have lots of friends who love her, like I do...
Maybe not played enough on the radio, but that's just normal for high quality music...
I dont think shes under rated, everyone knows and loves her.
i clicked this video SO FAST. Norah Jones’ music was a huge part of my early 2000s childhood. absolute comfort music❤
OMG, me too, didn't think twice, DOVE IN.
She was part of my early adulthood.
SAME ever since I was a little girl. Love her so much!!!!!!
I want to thank Norah again for the wonderful home videos she put up during the pandemic. So much love.
Just think . Nora Jones and her music did something the many world governments have not intended to do during the treatable fake pandemic. Keep us happy and alive inside. Thank you Nora.
The fact that her first speech was to introduce the musicians once again showed how respectful and sharing Norah is beautiful music beautiful souls, love from istanbul
There’s a reason she’s so well-liked across the industry & genres - so authentically talented, and just so charming
indeed!
Only left one artist:Tracy Chapman ❤
Oh Lord!!! That would be fantastic!
I’d love her, Randy Crawford and Mary J at some point. 🙏🏾

Ew gross
0:34 The great and legendary Nora Jones. Talent, voice and beauty come together in this woman.
Norah's voice has always disarmed me and sent me to a slow place of being nurtured and soft... Grateful to have this in my life again after almost 20 years!
Brian Blade on those drums.... my goodness. A master.
Thanks for you to bring me to know Brian Blade. I love a sound of the drums and he is a master.
Been waiting a long time for a proper Norah Jones Tiny Desk and it does not disappoint! Just in time for Red Rocks tomorrow.
Also, Brian Blade is a complete master drummer. To play with such precision at a moderate volume is essential.
Norah Jones just gets better and better! It shows clearly, for example, in how she's evolved Come Away With Me over time.
You don't get old and your voice is as flaweless as ever! Your voice is so pure that whenever i hear everything stops and I calm down...
Thanks for being, Norah Jones. And thank you Tiny Desk for having her and the brilliant band
Huge props to the sound team. Because Sami is playing that glockenspiel so delicately, barely touching those bars. And each note shines through, each is clear and distinct and a true compliment to the piano. Her two songs would be lessened without those notes. *That's* a great musician! And it would have been lost without a great sound team. +bravo!+
Fell in love with "Come away with me" on a flight radio over 20 years ago. Miss Jones' music has been a constant companion ever since then.
Wow same! Dallas native but lived in Vegas early 2000s. Heard her flying into Dallas from Vegas one summer on Southwest Airlines, I belive, when they gave out headphones to plug into the armrest. Shortly thereafter, I found out she has Dallas roots. Been one of my favorites since. I think of home when I hear her.
I grew up hearing to Norah’s music cause my mother was listening to her, she has always stuck with me. Now im 27 and so thankful that she still releases new music and shows up. I have a dream to one day see her live ❤
Brian Blade playing this soft.... is a masterclass in control for many a rock drummer. That's why people get hired guys
Agree. Blade is also a superb jazz drummer. Check out his work with Joshua Redman or Wayne Shorter.
@@jeff2446 I know , oh my with Wayne Shorter, that jazz in Vienne ! With meldhau mc bride Redman of course . And with Daniel Lanois (black dub) awesome drumming and sound.
I'm not a drummer but Amen Brother!
@@drmcnamar9213 :)
Saw him with Chick Corea. The reason he got hired is because he is a good musician. lol
Songs like "What Am I to You"... & "Thinking of You" always have me in my feelings! 😭 Norah is quietly establishing herself as a soul blues and jazz great! 💯 ❤️🎶🎶🎶
I love what you’re doing Tiny Desk! Thank you. ❤
I always listen to the 'Come Away with Me' album when I'm flying... something about her voice calms me everytime.
Just realised she makes TV Hospital drama music. This is the stuff they play at the end of the episodes. Love her voice.
I'm on season 2 of House and this is so spot on! Had me Shazaming almost every episode 😂
Nice
@@boogiedownbronx73he meant literally lol not figuratively
Norah could probably sing through a tin can on a string and I'd be sitting there mesmerized. She always surrounds herself with the most gracious talented musicians. Hat's off to the whole crew. Applause! Applause! ❤
I really liked she is getting backup singers this last album was great
Norah Jones has always been a vibe. so happy to watch as this came in my notifications
Superb. Norah Jones is simply one of the greatest singers I’ve had the pleasure to hear. Up there with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Great songwriter and pianist to boot: what an all round musical talent. How do Tiny Desk get such a lovely live sound balance?
Oh? Norah Jones?! Wonderful! Closing this live event with a loved "oldie", a song which is food to all of my senses, is a perfect choice. Thank you Norah Jones for sharing for so many of life's years your beautiful and stirring musical art. You are a muse for many. 🌸 Thank you to Tiny Desk for hosting a living legend.
Omd I was just thinking about NJ looking for what she is doing lately and then this pops up. Perfect.
Once a week during the Pandy, Norah would sit at her upright and play for like 15 minutes and I looked forward to it every week. This is great.
Come Away is one of my favorite all time albums ❤
Your tiny desk home concert and your own home recordings have been an integral part of my covid lockdown experience and a huge part of making it through those times in one piece. Forever grateful. Love you Norah Jones.
They got me thru 2020 - a tough year!!
I agree. Her Facebook home videos brought me so much comfort. I was living alone at my apartment at the time. She was gracious enough to post those often. Almost weekly.
Thank you Norah for all those home videos during Covid posted on your channel. A brief moment alone with you to breathe and say to myself it’s gonna be alright as you smiled to us through the camera. ❤
@@chuckm2021 Thanks for taking your time accepting my request and also i thank you for your love and support always.
@@surfakimo2674 Thanks for taking your time accepting my request and also i thank you for your love and support always.
The best way I can describe Norah Jones, and her voice in my ear is like someone singing softly to me with ice cubes in their mouth. It’s a cool breeze that rushes over my ears and my senses and it’s soothing. It’s magical.
The best two things to come out of Dallas, Texas - Erykah Badu and Norah Jones. Another stellar Tiny Desk performance! 2024 has been an amazing year so far for Tiny Desk Concerts.
Stevie Ray Vaughn wasn’t too bad 😉
A wonderful year
@@bluescat59And TVZ!!
Annie Clarke is also from Dallas
Beyonce would be maad you think this lol
She's so talented! Her piano and voice are just amazing! Tiny Desk never fails to deliver.
It's funny how I never listened to much of her music growing up but immediately clicked. Her voice reminds me of a simpler time ❤
Sasha Dobson and Norah Jones together is always such a treat
"I've got my NoJo working"... I do not really know how she does it, but whatever piano she plays, the sound is unmistakably and distincly Norah's, I don't know any other piano player with such personal magic. You can tell this or that pianist playing by phrase, techniques, touch, attack on keys but extracting such an own sound from any piano is a miracle. Waiting for the new record, seems it's gonna be beautiful. Love from Krakow, Poland again.
No words. Love her voice, her playing, her songwriting! The best.
she's simply the best
I love Norah jones sunrise, painters song , don’t know why she’s too good
She's so cute and she's still singing clearly.
Finally, after a long wait... the great Norah has appeared with a fantastic performance and an old but magnificent COME AWAY WITH ME... Thanks Tiny Desk... keep it up.
Cripes, you make her sound like some mystical beasty...
Well, I suppose she is a unicorn, so, that tracks. She "is" a unicorn, yes?
@@Requiemslovelol
@@MrFabioruiz I shoulda put "Timerous beasty". Lessons were learned...
Her rendition of Blackhole Sun after Chris Cornell’s death is one of my all time favorites.
Need to find this performance, thanks.
Me too I always go back to it ❤
@@thecappy I watched it, wish she would have built the crescendo instead of keeping the melody all in the same octave, but I guess she isn’t really known for her dynamics.
Never heard this but thanks for putting me on
@Andrew-cs1td Yeah and you're not known for anything so shut up.
Norah and band... Just perfect! And audio team, you guys are the best! I always hear everything clearly and each vocalist and instrument is exactly where it should be in the mix!
I started watching this channel yesterday, and I can't believe I got to see Norah Jones, it's amazing.
This is the latest in a long line of great performances, Thank You. I also have to say after all these years I still can't decide which is more beautiful, your reflection or your voice. Thank You again.
Hello, Norah. I used to listen to your music every time i go out with my sister. I didn't know much about music that time and the artists, but when my sister played your CD in the car, it was one of the happiest and memorable moments of my life, and i wish i can just go back to that time where everything was easier. To be honest, i grew apart with that sister for reasons, but at least when i go looking back on the better times, the car rides with your music was one of the good memories of our time together that i'll cherish forever. thank you!
NPR is genius at selecting the artistes, at creating the intimate environment , at the sound engineering. The entire package.
Bands to solo performers all sound magnificent , as if they were tailored for this format.
Kudos NPR Tiny Desk !
Some of my earliest memories of music are listening to my mom’s Norah Jones CD in the car. Love her music, still :))
What a luxury!! Thank you to the channel for bringing us these gifts.
I was finally able to see Norah Jones in 2023, it was worth the wait she really is even more powerful in person. Amazing, spellbinding. Thank you NPR.
Lalalalala I Love Nora Jones....
Yessir!

I first got into Norah Jones when her album "The Fall" came out and we played it nonstop at the bookstore where I worked at the time.
It's been over a decade now since I listened to her music. But hearing this Tiny Desk performance made it feel like all my problems and stresses were melting away. I really needed this today. I missed her voice and her smooth, charismatic style.
Thank you, Ms. Jones!
Norah Jones was brought to my attention when I looked at the movie..”MAID IN MANHATTAN”… I absolutely have stuck with Norah since then. She’s so calming and relaxing and soothing to me. I absolutely love her so much and her music. ❤❤❤
Such a treasure, both Norah Jones and Tiny Desk 😊
I'm loving this, I remember when Norah Jones had her own tiny desk concert concert during lockdown
Oh wow. That rendition of come away with me was so lovely. I would Love an album of you performing more paired back and acoustically like this.
Norah just makes everything seem all right during this perilous time😊 thank u NPR
Ive missed Norah's vocals. Up there with Amy Winehouse. Unique and cuts to the soul.
Love this version of Come Away with Me- my wife and I's first dance, 20 years ago this week!
It’s been years since I last saw her live, like 20yrs or so.✊🏼✌🏼❤️
한때 내 미니홈피를 촉촉한 갬셩으로 한껏 적셔 주었던 노라 언니의 목소리는 세월이 지나도 변하질 않는구먼.... 도 보고 또 보고했던 그 시절이여.
This makes me sooo sooo happy! I love me some Norah Jones! ❤️❤️
I had a friend whose full name was Norah Jones, and it wasn’t until after her sudden early passing that I discovered this Norah Jone’s music. It makes me feel so connected to the person she may have become that I’ll never get to know. I 🫶 Norah Jones.
after all these years still think she is underrated...one of the best song writers of our generation...so much soul in every song
Her voice is so special. ❤❤❤❤ She is pure talent.
I CANT BELIEVE IT, I just dicovered her and I'm in LOVE with her music
Awesome to see Norah Jones in tiny desk. been a long time fan, and her music just soothes my soul.
Norah Jones' talent has caught my attention since her debut album "Come Away with Me" (2002). The way she draws from jazz, country, rock, folk, etc., to create her unique sound is remarkable. Thank you Ms. Jones for sharing your musical vision.
Merci Norah et merci Tiny Desk. Heureusement vous êtes là 🙏
The concert I've been waiting forrrrrrr....ya'll took ya time
I had the opportunity to see a Norah and she’s so incredible. Her voice is pure magic like her song. I would love to see her again. ❤
This calmness makes myself feel a little dreamy 🫶
no way! i started my day with norah jones. and now ending it with her
Perfect day. Lou Reed ✌🏼❤️
Nora....the perfect wake up music. She is fantastic.
Goodness... I'm about to download her new album. She makes such beautiful music.
Fabulous Norah that version of Come Away With Me is so beautiful! When you see her in concert she makes a huge concert hall feel as intimate as this Tiny Desk. She sweeps you away!
A beautiful way to start my day! I absolutely love Norah Jones. Her debut album is still on repeat in my playlist often🎶🎶♥️🙌🏾
Norah Jones saved my soul in my youth! Feels like home! I adore her music, her voice, her personality, her easiness and warmth in her music!! Thank you Norah!!
Love and Joy! ❤❤❤❤
Fastest click of my life! Been a fan since '02. ❤️
Thanks So Much for Bringing Norah Jones so Beautiful one of my favorite 😍
I think I would absolutely transcend this mortal Earth if Norah Jones found my eyes while playing and smiled.
Creepy
I love the nod to Duke Ellington and John Coltrane's "In a sentimental mood" in her performance of Come away with me ❤
Thank you so much! I knew I had heard those notes somewhere else! Yeah, She did the nod to DE and JC very well here.
Yes yes yes. Finally!!!!
Good to see you on "Tiny Desk". Enjoyed "Swept Up in the Night", and really loved "Staring at the Wall" and "Come Away with Me". Your live versions of these songs are exquisite. Thanks for posting this concert!
Fantastic 😊
Norah Jones has been something that binds me and my mom, it's a sound thats been there since i was really young and I've known all the lyrics to most of her songs since i was very little. Mom and I have bonded over it, it's our thing, something we sing to together, something that is just so nostalgic and sweet to me. I'm so glad this exists :]
If "drummers playing quietly" is basically the whole Tiny Desk concept, then the entire thing has just been a prelude to Brian Blade's arrival.
Not his first time behind the desk! Check out Daniel Lanois and Black Dub.
