All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio

by: Diana Krall

Release Date March 12, 1996
Prior to this album, Diana Krall was not considered serious enough as a Jazz singer who could play a mean piano roll. She was a pretty girl, with a pretty voice, who would do standard jazz covers.

But this album changed all that, the trio in this record is brilliant and Diana's talent as a vocalist AND a piano player is showcased here in great abundance. It was good for her to choose a tribute album to Nat King Cole, and it results in a very good record and nice interpretations of Nat Cole's classics. It was difficult without a drummer as well

I don't have a large collection (50 to 60 CDs ), but this is one cd that i listened to so many items, i scratched it till it could not be played anymore.
For me the standout ... Read More:

The Girl in the Other Room

by: Diana Krall

Release Date April 27, 2004
Tremendous disc. Diana's voice is great, the mike is close with a fantastic breathy texture to her voice. Fantastic backing group with a swing/bluesy feel - rhythmic. I think her 'Temptation' is the best version I've ever heard of this track. More please!

When I Look in Your Eyes

by: Diana Krall

Release Date June 08, 1999
CARLOS SANTANA is an excellent musician . THIS was the far better album of the year it lost to "SUPERSTITION" . the understated and incredibly tasteful guitarist RUSSELL MALONE . the miraculous arrangements of JOHNNY MANDEL . the sexiness and pitch perfect restraint of MS. KRALL'S vocal and piano contributions . LEWIS NASH or JEFF HAMILTON on drums . the song selection and programing of the material . the lifetime achievement award was SANTANA'S . the music is ours . the snapshot forever . the depth of this deep , sultry well will grow in stature . sans radio play . by word of mouth . just off the beaten path more traveled .

The Very Best of Diana Krall

by: Diana Krall

Release Date September 18, 2007
I got this for my mom's birthday because she likes Diana Krall. Well I ended up liking it more than her! I played this disc several times because her voice is so soothing and relaxing. it is truly a gift! If you like artists like Norah Jones or Michael Buble then you'll enjoy this jazz album! I dont have any favorite songs on it, I think they're all good!

Love Scenes

by: Diana Krall

Release Date August 26, 1997
Truly, Diana Krall cannot be compared with any other Jazz vocalist, past or present. And as a huge fan of Ella, Sarah, and Mel Torme - three of the best singers ever to hold a microphone - I must admit that Diana Krall doesn't even come close. Yet, she holds her own by subtly and beautifully carving out a niche for herself in the genre and subtly redefining Jazz as we know it. The difference? Her vocals. It's the phrasing, the honesty, the raw emotion that pours from every song. There's no scatting, no wild improvisations, just vocal purity and the ability to capture the lyrical meaning of a song and effortlessly express a myriad of sentiments. Just listen to the tracks LOST MIND and I MISS YOU SO. Can't we all relate? Perfectly delivered...Diana ... Read More:

Live in Paris

by: Diana Krall

Release Date October 01, 2002
The first time I listened to her voice, I could not really match her voice with how she looks. She is a pretty woman. But her voice is husky and cool. I youtubed her and saw some video clips of "Live in Paris" and other performance videos. I've noticed that she often performs with a very talented bassist John Clayton. He is awesome. People rave about Diana but I have to say that John and other artists who performed with Diana are cool too. I think I am going to check out John's new project through ArtistShare. It is supposed to be a family project.

Only Trust Your Heart

by: Diana Krall

Release Date February 14, 1995
Because Ms Krall is accompanied by some outstanding musicians of the jazz genre I presume she is concerned to be recognized as a jazz singer and a jazz pianist. If this is so then I have to say her nasal twang, indifferent rhythmic sense, and poor understanding of the lyric makes her an indifferent jazz interpreter of the great american song book. To take "I've Got the World On A String" as an example, it may as well be sung by a computer. Embarrassing. As for her piano playing then she is an accomplished cocktail pianist but to place her in the jazz pantheon would be a considerable leap of pure faith.
On the slower tunes, she is more successful in a cutesy way as on "Squeeze Me". But I would think she must be the most overrated "jazz" artist of the ... Read More:
