For one Friday night at the Mandarin Oriental’s Captain’s Bar, one could be excused thinking one had been transported to Ronnie Scott’s in London or the Blue Note in New York City — both signature venues for the best in jazz music.

It was not daring of Norah who knew what sort of music she wanted to do. It was daring of Capitol Records to give what could have been a small art collection on its jazz label Blue Note the push usually reserved for potential pop big sellers. And that is although it was the first by an unknown artist who didn’t have the makings of a Britney, Beyonce or Christina and not even Dido.
