 Great mellow music Nov 23, 2009
I was introduced to Diana Krall's music through a friend, and have been a fan since. Not being a HUGE jazz fan though, I tend to really enjoy her albums full of covers; "When I Look In Your Eyes" and "The Look Of Love" being two of my favorites. So this album falls into that category. It's very subdued and quiet which is very relaxing. I enjoy this album very much. As an added bonus, I have found that her music is perfect for putting kids and babies to sleep in the car!

 She's the best Oct 06, 2009
Diana Krall, surrounded by strings, is one of the ten top jazz vocalists in America. Absent the strings, in the intimate presence of bass, guitar, drums, and her own piano styling, she is without peers. It's difficult to understand why she would go to the expense and formatting of an orchestra in order to emulate Julie London and Paul Weston when she deserves to be more rightly compared to Chris Connor, June Christy, or Dakota Staton. The CD is adequate, the DVD is exciting (with the exception of watching her husband walk out on stage and kiss Elton John instead of his lovely wife). In Madrid, Krall is in her element. Whether her background artists are Hurst and Company, or John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton, Diana Krall is in total command both vocally and instrumentally. She said in an earlier interview that she thought her keyboarding was good, but was surprised to find that audiences liked her voice. Her jazz vocals are outstanding, but I must agree with her that the real selling point is her approach to the piano and her ability to blend those keys to her combo. She is the best and, as soon as she realizes that the strings are more detriment than benefit, she'll continue to be the best.
