Amazon party features Dylan and Jones duet

Amazon celebrated its tenth birthday with a private Seattle concert for employees, featuring Norah Jones and Bob Dylan singing a duet of 'I Shall Be Released'.

Amazon celebrated their tenth birthday last weekend with a private concert for their employees in Seattle, featuring the vocal talents of no less than Bob Dylan and Norah Jones. Jones was giving what she says will be her only live performance this year, so it was quite a coup for the employees who got in (though the event was webcast via the company's US website).

At one point in the proceedings Jones told her audience: "This is the part where we usually do a Bob Dylan song... but don't worry, we won't, because we're too scared to do that." Instead, she and Dylan sang a duet of 'I Shall Be Released', a track from Dylan's late-1960s 'Basement Tapes' sessions with the Band.
