The Boston Globe raved, "There are enough good musical ideas here to keep the mind from wandering and brings her squarely into contem- porary pop without sounding contrived." This will be Jones' debut appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival, and her show is highly anticipated. Her most recent album, "Day Breaks" was one of Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 50 Albums of 2016." Nate Chinen of The New York Times wrote that the album "…brings her back into the jazz fold without taking the safe or familiar route…it features prominent jazz artists like the saxophonist Wayne Shorter and the bassist John Patitucci." Norah Jones performs Sunday evening at 9:40pm on the Jimmy Lyons Stage, accompanied by the incomparable rhythm section of drummer Brian Blades and bassist Chris Thomas.
