Lately she has developed an appreciation for jazz, thanks in part to the chart-topping debut album of her 23-year-old half-sister, Norah Jones. They only met five years ago - Jones' mother distanced herself and her daughter from Ravi after he married Anoushka's mother, Sukanya.

...Lundvall has heard thousands of tapes, but only twice has a relative unknown walked into his office and walked out with a record deal. The first, in 1994, was Rachelle Ferrell, who possesses a dazzling 6 1/2-octave vocal range. The second was a tiny wisp of a singer named Norah Jones. "Norah doesn't have one of those over-the-top instruments," says Lundvall. "It's just a signature voice, right from the heart to you. When you're lucky enough to hear that, you don't hesitate.
