Diana Krall is the owner/operator of ten highly talented fingers for playing wonderful piano riffs, whether in jazz or dreaming mode, as well as a contralto voice that is as smooth as a fifteen-year-old's thigh. She absolutely nails the music. The composers would be grinning like weasels at a bowl of cream.
You have to love this smokin' good-lookin' steamy-sounding jazzer Diana Krall! Great stylings vocally and on the piano and a great chpoice of tunes for the project. I'd prefer a bit more reverb in the vocals, but I have to respect the realness of the vocal sound that comes through when I hear the production on this recording. She puts the class in Jass in this millenium!
THE CD PRICE WAS FAVORABLE AND I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS ITEM TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION OF DIANA KRALL MUSIC. THE DELIVERY TIME FRAME WAS VERY GOOD AND I REC'D IT SOONER THAN EXPECTED IN GOOD CONDITION. WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK OUT PRICES ON HALF.COM BEFORE ANY PURCHASES ARE MADE IN THE FURTURE.
Diana Krall at the piano playing and singing the standards she excels at! Big Band addition with the inclusion of horns, woodwinds, brass--Sinatra-like arrangements! Reminiscent of Nelson Riddle arrangements--excellent familiar collection of standards!
