Customer Reviews
As ever, choice of repertoire sees Krall taking the safe and familiar route, which you might argue is starting to make her sound somewhat 'established', yet never tedious. There is no need for concern. In ten years time if her albums sound like this there will be few complaints. Krall's voice - developed, adaptable and oh so finely tuned - is an extremely complementary lead to her band. In addition, her piano performances are nothing short of brilliant. The improvised sections flaunt Krall's great rhythmic and technical aptitude, while her solo introductory piano solo to "Devil May Care" reveals a keen grasp of restrained, subtle jazz. Moreover, she sings and plays piano at the same time, which adds to the overall shape, form and versatility of each piece.
The most interesting thing about this album is the charm and spirit that Krall manages to inject into long-standing and endlessly covered songs. She makes them entirely her own. The improvised sections lend a hand to this also, making A Night In Paris sound remarkably fresh and new. In the gorgeously serene "Let's Fall In Love," Krall's seductive, sensuous voice smoothly graces the jazz harmonies, while tracks like "'Deed I Do" and "I Love Being Here With You" best suit the band's great rhythmic panache. Meanwhile, the Billy Joel-penned "Just The Way You Are" is a studio recording generously treated with Krall's sumptuous, subtle musicality. An album, then, that is well worth investigating. The entire concert sounds excellent and delivers jazz how it's intended - live.
No matter which song you listen it will always sound like Diana Krall, she is probably the only performer that makes me forget about Sinatra when she sings `Under my Skin'... her version of `Just the Way you Are' is bloody amazing, so moody and with such heart.
This is the perfect album to get into her catalogue...
Let the music play!
