Singer/songwriter Norah Jones (born Geetali Norah Shankar) has won nine Grammy Awards and sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. Day Breaks, out via Blue Note on Oct 7, is "a kindred spirit to her breakout debut Come Away With Me".
Jones’ newest solo album marks a shift since her last release, 2012's pop-tinged Little Broken Hearts. Returning to the piano – rather than the guitar, her primary instrument for past albums – Jones wrote nine original songs, recorded alongside three covers (Horace Silver, Duke Ellington, Neil Young) during autumn 2015. Saxophonist Wayne Shorter, organist Dr Lonnie Smith, and drummer Brian Blade, all fellow label-mates, back her.
