Again, the songs were chosen from the Great American songbook. Many of the songs were originally American hits in the twenties and thirties, including Let's face the music and dance (Fred Astaire), Devil may care (Glenn Miller), Let's fall in love (Eddy Duchin), When I look in your eyes (Hunter Rodeheaver and Virginia Asher), I've got you under my skin (Ray Noble), I can't give you anything but love (Cliff Edwards, Ben Selvin and Johnny Hamp all had huge hits with it), I'll string along with you (Ted Fio Rito), East of the sun (Tom Coakley), Pick yourself up (Fred Astaire) and Do it again (Paul Whiteman).
Some of these songs, like Let's face the music and dance, were originally more up-tempo, but here they are slowed right down, making them sound fresh and exciting. The original artists are mostly unknown these days - only Glenn Miller and Fred Astaire remain widely recognisable - but Diana and others are doing an excellent job of keeping their music alive and relevant to a modern generation.
The songs themselves are all glorious, although I can't decide whether I prefer Ms Krall singing ballads or swing, as I think she deals with both styles equally well. My favourite track on the album though is 'String along with you' which is am absolutely superb and utterly moving rendition of the love song.
The addition of strings to Diana Krall's trio adds more romance to this album than her previous CD's, although you can't help but feel the orchestra takes away a little of the intimate feel of the trio recordings. Not all the songs have the addition of the orchestra, and the ones without are definately the most swinging numbers on the album.
This is a great showcase of Diana Krall's talents as a singer, although for the purist jazz fan then I would suggest you perchase one of Krall's earlier recordings, such as 'Stepping Out' which have far more swing and Krall plays a lot more piano on them too.
A recommended purchase to anyone who loves to hear jazzy tunes with a touch of romance.
