Norah Jones Come Away With Me: 20th Anniversary: Super Deluxe Ed. 3CD
 
20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition 3CD Box Set Captures the Emergence of a Singular Talent and the Full Story of the Making of this Now-Classic Album with Remaster of Original Record Plus 22 Previously Unreleased Tracks including Early Demos and Never-Before-Heard First Version!
 
Norah Jones' seminal debut album Come Away With Me became a global phenomenon, reaching No. 1 in 20 countries, selling nearly 30 million copies, and sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards. The 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition captures the emergence of a singular talent and the full story of the making of this now-classic album.
 
It features the remastered version of the original album, produced by Arif Mardin, as well as no fewer than 22 previously unreleased tracks. These include the original demos that Jones submitted to Blue Note, and the complete First Session demos that she made after being signed by the famed label.
 
Alongside these is the first version of the album made by the artist at Allaire Studios with producer Craig Street. Most of these sessions have never been heard before, and they offer a fascinating insight into what Come Away With Me might have been. Produced by Eli Wolf and presented here as a 3CD box set with premium packaging and an extensive booklet containing new liner notes by Jones and rare session photos.
 
The new liner notes plot the arrival at Blue Note of a young hopeful who had moved to New York City in 1999, having spent two years as a jazz piano major at the University of North Texas. While playing jazz gigs at restaurants around New York, Norah began to mix with a singer-songwriter circle that included Jesse Harris and Richard Julian. On her 21st birthday, Jones was heard at a jazz brunch by EMI Publishing employee Shell White, leading to a meeting with Blue Note President Bruce Lundvall.
 
A month later she was in Lundvall's office playing him her three-song demo CD, including confident versions of "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" and "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most," as well as a more singer-songwriter styled original, written by Harris.
 
A demo deal with Blue Note soon followed, and by the time she was in the studio, she knew she wanted to focus on the originals written by Harris, Alexander, and herself. "The very first song we did in those sessions was one of Jesse's, called ‘Don't Know Why' that we hadn't yet played live," says Jones in the new commentary.
 
"We got it on the first try and it just felt great, one of those magical, easy takes. When we walked back into the control room to listen, [engineer] Jay [Newland] was over the moon. It really built my confidence for the rest of the session and set the tone for what we were going for.
 
After all was said and done, it was this version that ended up on the final record, with only some harmonies and a doubled guitar added to it."
Those sessions resulted in Lundvall signing Norah as a Blue Note artist.
