Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Years after the 1990s, the decade will be remembered for the rise of pianist-vocalist Diana Krall. Simply put, this British Columbian-born artist is one of the most engaging musicians to emerge from the heap of scat-happy singers high on pyrotechnics, but short on poetry. Stamped with the imprimatur of the Nat King Cole trio and blessed by her apprenticeship with the late West Coast piano giant Jimmy Rowles, Krall simply sings songs the way they're supposed to be sung: with devotion to the lyric and with attention to the groove. This CD finds Krall in familiar company with compatriots Russell Malone (on guitar), bassist John Clayton, drummers Lewis Nash and Jeff Hamilton, and vibraphonist (and former Bill Evans associate) Larry Bunker--all supported by Johnny Mandel's svelte string arrangements. Krall and crew take Irving Berlin's chestnut "Let's Face the Music and Dance" and the Sinatra-signatured "I've Got You Under My Skin" south to Brazil via a sexy bossa nova. Malone's lush guitar accompaniment complements Krall's heartfelt delivery on "When I Look in Your Eyes", and Michael Franks's "Popsicle Toes" dances courtesy of Hamilton's drum work. "Devil May Care", "East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)", The Best Thing for You", and the stridish "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" groove with a minimum of waste, while Mandel's simpatico strings steal the show on "I'll String Along with You", "Pick Yourself Up", and "Do It Again". All of which further illuminate the cool fire from this fine gift from North of the Border. --Eugene Holley Jr.
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Que cette grande jeune femme blonde et canadienne soit devenue pour une large audience "la" chanteuse de jazz de la fin du XXe siècle peut étonner à première vue. Mais dès la première écoute on doit admettre que Diana Krall mérite, sinon un tel intérêt médiatique et public, du moins une place de choix dans le panthéon du chant jazz. D'abord, c'est une authentique musicienne, pianiste douée qui connaît ses classiques - de Nat King Cole (auquel elle a rendu un fort bel hommage avec son propre trio) à Ahmad Jamal. Ensuite elle a côtoyé, et séduit par son talent, de vieux briscards tels que Ray Brown ou Jimmy Rowles qui ont vu défiler avant elle le gratin du swing vocal. Dans cet enregistrement, son premier avec une formation aussi étoffée, c'est sa voix qui est essentiellement mise en valeur et son timbre légèrement voilé, sa diction impeccable et l'émotion discrète qu'elle exprime la classent parmi les interprètes les plus convaincantes de ce répertoire d'un classicisme éprouvé. --Thierry Quénum

Classy, Sassy, Jazzy Music,
By Rebecca*rhapsodyinblue* (CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When I Look In Your Eyes (Audio CD)
With her sultry voice, great piano skills and a Grammy to add to her name, Diana Krall is the Modern-Day Queen of Jazz. She performs with elegance and a style that is so distinctively her very own. Her adeptness on the piano is very impressive. What makes her an extraordinary performer is her ability to sing and play at the same time, and excel in both. What a great talent! The credit also goes to Tommy LiPuma, Johnny Mandel, David Foster, Eddie Karam, Al Schmitt and all the equally talented jazz musicians: Russell Malone (guitar), John Clayton (bass), Jeff Hamilton (drums), Ben Wolfe (bass), Larry Bunker (vibes), Lewis Nash (drums), Pete Christlieb (sax), Alan Broadbent (piano - track #13), Chuck Berghoffer (bass). Congratulations for making this recording a tremendous success.This CD covers a repertoire of unforgettable classic melodies by the most brilliant songwriters of yesterday and today such as, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Harry Warren/Al Dublin, and Ted Koehler/Harold Arlen. Likewise, Michael Franks and a budding songwriter Clint Eastwood, among many others. My top favorite is "Let's Face The Music And Dance," which she delivers par excellence. With its Bossa Nova style and superb orchestration, it's the best interpretation I've ever heard. Other standouts are "I've Got You Under My Skin," "I'll String Along With You," "East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon)," "Let's Fall In Love," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Pick Yourself Up," and of course "Popsicle Toes" (How can I not remember this song when I was a huge fan of Michael Franks in the eighties?) I have collected a number of his albums since "Art of Tea." This CD is a treasure and the more you listen to it, the more enjoyable your listening experience will be.

Can't ask for more..,
By Karenne Ostil (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When I Look In Your Eyes (Audio CD)
I've had this album for a while now.. and still love it! "When I Look In Your Eyes" proves to have no weak song, it's a perfect CD to listen to relax and unwind with red wine by the fire place. Diana Krall has this very sultry sound..very soothing, Absolutely cozy! My favourites are "Let's Face The Music And Dance", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "When I look in your eyes". Diana Krall also brings all the emotions in "Why Should I care"...very touching. Whether you consider Diana Krall's music as Jazz or not, this album is one of her best work, worth to have in everyone's collection.
