Bob Dylan Jazz: Madeleine Peyroux

text: joshua holt

I caught the Oscar nominated live action short films the other day and left wanting to know more about Madeleine Peyroux. Her beautiful cover of Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome” features prominently in Manon on the Asphalt, a 15-minute French short film about the death of a young woman.

Peyroux’s album Careless Love features more great cover music and had us saying, “Hey, I love this song” a few times last night as we were baking New York Times chocolate cupcakes. If you like what you hear, I encourage you to check out the album.

    great cover! may be this one is better than Nina Simone’s jazz versions of Dylan ballads…

Chopin and Òlafur Arnalds aren’t even really worth a comparison. Their music is nothing alike.

There was definitely a guy surfing in a wheelchair. I tried to capture it with my camera, but it was a total blur. He came over the barricade 3 times. The first time, he came over AFTER his wheelchair.
