Norah Jones is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, and actress. She launched her solo music career in 2002 with the release of her critically acclaimed album "Come Away with Me," which sold over 26 million copies and earned her five Grammy Awards. Her subsequent albums, including "Feels Like Home" and "Not Too Late," also achieved platinum status and received positive reviews from critics. With a total of nine Grammy Awards and over 36 million records sold worldwide, Jones has established herself as one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar on March 30, 1979, she is the daughter of Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar and Sue Jones. She comes from a musical family, being the niece of Anoushka Shankar and Shubhendra Shankar, the paternal half-sister of Anoushka Shankar and Norah's brother Anand Shankar, as well as a cousin to Ananda Sen Sharma (aka Deva Premal), Shibani Kashyap, and Saskia Rao-de Haas.

In addition to her successful music career, Jones made her film debut in "My Blueberry Nights" in 2007. Billboard magazine named her the top jazz artist of the 2000–2009 decade. With more than 16 million albums sold in the U.S., she continues to captivate audiences with her unique blend

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.

Nine-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones releases Begin Again, a collection of singles that gathers seven eclectic songs that Jones has recorded over the past year with collaborators including Jeff Tweedy and Thomas Bartlett. Last year, following the 2016 release of her acclaimed album Day Breaks - and the extensive promotional campaign and world tour that accompanied it - Jones quietly returned to the studio with the sole intent of following her muse down creative pathways without any expectations or boundaries. Reveling in the joy and spontaneity of music-making with a true spirit of openness, Jones got together with various friends for brief, largely-improvised sessions to collaborate and experiment.
