Product Description
From Amazon.com essential recording
Like a mink draped over mahogany, Diana Krall's luxuriously supple alto adorns the vintage songs of romance and longing found on Love Scenes with a palpable aura of glamour and late-night cool. Her ostensibly effortless command of phrasing and intonation, whether the mood is seduction or a sweet sassiness, further fortifies the opinion that the Canadian vocalist-pianist possesses one of the great female jazz voices to surface in the late 1990s. Augmented by spare but skillful instrumentation from bassist Christian McBride and guitarist Russell Malone, Krall sustains a largely quiet (though hardly sleepy) ambience throughout the CD's 12 selections, from Irving Berlin's "How Deep Is the Ocean (How High Is the Sky)," which she also uses as a showcase for her touch at the keyboard, to Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away from Me." Her swing is artfully subdued ("All or Nothing at All"), and her wry, expressive approach to "Peel Me a Grape" is pure charm. Yet Krall shines most luminously on languid gems such as "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance with You" and "Garden in the Rain." Anyone in search of an album ideal for watching city lights at 2 a.m. should keep Love Scenes in mind. --Terry Wood

Emotional pure acoustic pleasure,
This review is from: Love Scenes (Audio CD)
In my book this is the best Krall CD... I had in CD and bought the SACD version later. If you are an audiophile who loves acoustic, simple arrangements that you swear are being play right in front of you THIS IS IT... The songs are beautiful; I get goose bumps listening to it. Bass, guitar, piano and Diana is all you get and all you need. Unlike `The Look Of Love` and some other big-arrangements type productions this is so pure, so clean, it moves. Anyone who can listen to tracks on this album such as How Deep Is The Ocean or Garden In The Rain and not be moved or get a wide smile listening to Peel Me A Grape I do not understand. BTW, check out The Girl In The Other Room and Stepping Out as well (Live from Paris and All Of Me as well).

Diana Krall Creates A Warm Musical Romance,
By Rebecca*rhapsodyinblue* (CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Scenes (Audio CD)
"These songs are indeed about romance. But to me there is a broader and more personal attachment to each of the songs than the standard definition of romantic love might imply. I think that these songs represent the strength of love, including the love of family and friends. But rather than describing my own thoughts about each song, it is my hope that all of you who listen to the music and read the lyrics will discover and imagine your own personal "love scenes" among the mountains, oceans, rain and gardens of these songs." ~ Diana Krall ~With this charmingly romantic CD "Love Scenes," Diana Krall once again has proven that she's got what it takes to be a modern-day jazz diva. Over the years, I've had the great pleasure of listening to some of the loveliest music courtesy of Diana Krall, who instantly became one of my favorite jazz artists after listening to one of her most remarkable and well-produced CDs, "When I Look in Your Eyes," the only Diana Krall CD that won the Grammy awards for the "Best Jazz Vocal Performance" in 1999, and was nominated for "Album of the Year." On the cover story of More Magazine, November 2007 issue written by Susan McClelland, she indicated that it was the "first time that a jazz singer has received such a nod since Ella Fitzgerald, 25 years earlier." It's a fact, "When I Look in Your Eyes" is truly the crème de la crème from all of her albums, and that nomination proved it. Her follow-up CD, "The Look of Love," recorded in 2001 is also my top favorite and sold 3.5 million copies. This album, "Love Scenes," recorded in 1997 comes close to the aforementioned CDs in terms of beauty and appeal to the listeners. Both albums also received Grammy nominations. Although she doesn't have the embellishment of a full orchestra in this recording, she does justice to every song she artfully interprets with the backing of two of the most trusted names in jazz instrumentations whose chops are always flawless and spectacular - guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Christian McBride. Whether she's singing my all-time favorite gems "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" and "How Deep Is The Ocean" or the less popular ones such as "I Miss You So," "Gentle Rain" and "My Love Is," she exudes confidence and lends elegance and sweet sophistication to each rendition to attain the album's theme of a warm musical romance. This CD is a winner and a keeper! With my heartfelt recommendation. "All the greats have passed. Diana has filled a bit of that void. She brought millions of dollars to her record label, so the company could invest in other jazz artists. This is one of Diana's legacies." ~ Bill King, Publisher - Jazz Report Magazine ~
