What can you say about Norah Jones? Ms. Jones is a multi-GRAMMY® winning singer and pianist who loves playing music with people, so she recently started her own podcast, "Playing Along", to do just that. On March 8th she will release her ninth solo studio album Visions, a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels. Visions is a vibrant and joyous 12-song set that finds Jones singing about feeling free, wanting to dance, making it right, and acceptance of what life brings. It’s the yang to the yin that was Pick Me Up Off The Floor, Jones’ last album of new original songs which was released early in the pandemic lockdown of 2020 and foreshadowed many of the dark emotions of that period. This is a rental event at The Rady Shell presented by Live Nation; the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this concert.
