Diana Krall. I can't get enough.

You probably mean sensuality, not "sexuality"... :)

Very true. Incredibly rare to have the total package. She is a looker, but that voice and those chops and that true jazz feel! She and that band ferociously swing on some of those numbers and I’m sure Nat King Cole was smiling up there.

Check out Elaine Elias. Same sexiness but in Portuguese!

Nancy Wilson

You are so right. The drummer is so good, as is the guitarist and bassist. But that drummer has so many tricks up his sleeve. Ans she is fantastic. This band is indeed the tops of their professions in this genre. Pros on top of their game.

Class all the way through!

That is the most fantastic comment I've ever heard! 👏👏👏 I absolutely agree with your view on Diana. Many instrumentalists (like me, for example) take their talent and career very seriously, as well as many vocalists. My mind was taken away for a while when I first heard this concert on a CD, when she uses phrasing, as you mentioned, with the melody of the piano and her smooth balance of the alto vocals. One of my favorites that caught me as a vocalist is "Maybe You'll Be There", because her singing is delicate and relaxing with the tune. But, my favorite when she's a pianist is "Devil May Care". She improvises and makes great chords very quickly while joining the beat. All the other songs she performed are phenomenally exceptional. As a pianist myself, I do admire and am inspired by Diana's talent. Your comment, Neil Jennings, said it all. Thank you once again for sharing this. "s' Wonderful"!

@@BJDJ Thank you good sir ! It's easy to be passionate about Diana Krall! No? I'm sure you'll agree. She just makes amazingly tasteful use of all the many tools she has in her toolbox, more than any other jazz singer I can remember, and then, she makes it look easy ! Krall's "Maybe You'll be There" is haunting, dripping with the grief one feels after losing a lover, and one of the best tunes I've ever heard, ever, and her version of "Devil May Care", is astonishing, and on that list as well, lyrically, it is a perfect antedote to the Blues, which I also love dearly, but between the Blues, Country, and the always depressing clip-clop/rapcrap we're exposed to today, the lyrics to "Devil May Care" are most welcome, and refreshing. It's great to hear from another musician who get's that too! Thanks again. Two more things deserve mention here; the first being the performance of the orchestra. I've never heard one used to greater advantage, and the arrangments are just stunning, but always remaining.. modest, humble, so in keeping with the songs themselves, and a perfect, relaxing, laid back and excellent back drop to the star of the show, never in the way, never overbearing, it is an expertly well trained livng, breathing thing, and a HUge benfit to this recording. Wow. Just Wow. Hans Oberman? You are a musical genius. And the other thing that deserves mention is the songs themselves. For those here who are unaware of it, these songs go way back, many were written for Broadway, others written by Jazzmen in the age of Billy Holiday And Duke Ellington, the age where it was understood that a woman's voice, most often being higher on the register, had the ability to "cut through the mix", as we say in the biz, in other words able to overpower the band just a bit, and so, to make the lyrics stand out clearly. Men's voices were easilly overpowered by pianists left hands, guitars, many other instruments and the band or orchestra themselves in the days before better use, (or use at all) of mics and amplification, simply because of where they sat, in the register. ( Remember the guitarists of those days? Pre-amplification? lol! They had those big bodied rhythm guitars with F-Holes, and the right arms of a block layer lol, from just WAiling on those things, just trying desperately, to be heard over the band, acoustically..) Lyrics were a HUge part of these songs from "The American Songbook", as Diana shows plainly in "Live in Paris", and this is why guys can't sing a great many of these songs, without sounding silly. These lyrics were mostly written for a woman to sing. Imagine, if you will, a guy singing "Love Letters" for instance, "kissing the name that you sign" ?? lol. Just wouldn't work right, and for good reason. The lyrics, mattered, so they wrote them for women to sing. So I'm greatly appreciatve of your comment BJ, as I am for all of the terrific comments posted here. I once had a music teacher who told me that the popularity of genres in music are always on a pendulum, and swing from one extreme to the other, (think Punk rock, {which I love} on one end, and maybe rap on the other, {which I don't}), but often times the pendulum rests, although sometimes briefly, at the bottom, where jazz and classical music, the best that we have, lie. Jazz and classical music are always there for us, always enduring, at the bottom of the swing, while people get bored by the extremes and then the extremes simply fade away, creating a time of appreciation for the best music that we have. Perhaps that is what's coming. The return of turntables and the clear appreciation for Jazz that we see in this thread, give me great hope for still more appreciation of these most often overlooked (and for the most part, rediculously underpaid) Jazz musicians, who are simply the most sophisticated and most well accomplished, and so the most interesting, musicians we have today, or ever have had in the history of American music. They deserve our appreciation, (and money), most, but receive the least. No other musicians, for the most part, can play this music in a trio or quartet, due mostly to the impovisational nature of the art form. It is that improvisational aspect, that gives these songs life. For that matter, when was the last time you saw a classical musician doing a concert, without charts? lol. Then watch Anthony Wilson, and Diana Krall just play the bejeezuz out of their instruments, from an educated but invisible, to most of us, place, in their amazing minds ! Ok I'll shut up now. You and I could obviously go on forever. LOL. Thanks BJ. Neal
