boomac Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've got all the CD's and DVD's, not a loser in the bunch, not even one throw away song. If your system is toward the brighter side you can hear the noise supression fade in and out on Love Scenes but it's still great. Good observation Russ. I was excited to buy that CD when it came out since Tommy LiPuma produced it but the engineering was pretty poor on that one. Recording wise, her first CD is my favorite, "Stepping Out". As tigerwoodKhorns stated, her first cd has excellent piano sound and the recording overall is more sharp and dynamic then any of her cd's since. I agree that “Stepping Out” is extremely well recorded. People who know jazz will tell you Diana Krall plays a great piano! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmans Robin Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 People who know jazz will tell you Diana Krall plays a great piano! Millions of people play piano. She sells because of her singing and because of her looks, in reverse order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 All I am saying is that anyone who likes Diana Krall doesn't know anything about jazz. I am the one who has been trolled by all you people saying that Diana Krall is God's gift to the world. You are the ones trying to provoke an action from me and I guess you have won, if that makes you feel proud. This was a thread started by a Diana Krall fan sharing their experience with a recording. Several others chimed in, myself included, sharing their favorite recordings and thoughts. Nobody trolled you. Your rude and insensitive remark on this thread and elsewhere show your immaturity and/or lack of intelligence. You alone attacked this thread and everybody who contributed by stating that: "I guess when the Good Lord handed out musical taste, everybody in this thread was out to lunch". Your words, not ours. Please refrain from insensitive and off the cuff remarks in the future. Responding only to the threads that you have a genuine interest in and doing so in an intelligent and mature manner will make your time here on the forum much more enjoyable.

russ69 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't know anything about jazz. I listen to popular music and Diana Krall is most certainly popular. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Seriously this is just beautiful... Production and sound recording wise... So yes, "sexiness" sells... And she is a 6 - 7 made to look like a 8+ in this clip.....but wow!!!!!! Recorded live at the Paris Olympia 1st December 2001, Krall'sclassic style blends equal parts artistic vision, hard work, anddetermination. The British Columbia native began playing piano at theage of four and now has five stunning albums behind her. She made herdebut with the critically acclaimed "Only Trust Your Heart," the albumtopped the Billboard jazz charts for most of 1998, earning Krall aGRAMMY nomination. She went onto to win a Best Jazz Vocal PerformanceGRAMMY for 1999's platinum-selling "When I Look in Your Eyes" andbecame the first jazz artist in twenty-five years to be nominated inthe Album of the Year category.This outstanding performance is from the Eagle Vision DVD "Live in Paris", available now.

Guest David H Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I also love Diana Kralls work, My favorite is: Love Scenes, followed closely By: Girl In The Other Room. I also agree Live In Paris is a work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The Look of Love sounds incredible on DVD-Audio. BTW, Does anyone else think Diana talks too much on the Live in Paris DVD? During some parts I just want to say "shut up and start playing already". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 All I am saying is that anyone who likes Diana Krall doesn't know anything about jazz. Folks like Ray Brown, Jeff Hamilton, Anthony Wilson, Peter Erskine and Jimmy Rowles you mean? I think you should fly back into your cave and HANG awhile![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearfreak Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 First introduction to her voice. Methinks she's a little to breath-ey for this one to be done this slow. Just want to hear Lani Hall's voice there instead. however... if you like the breath-ey female style (perhaps pushed a bit more towards the Crissy Hinds (sp?) end of the spectrum) ...check out: 'A Girl Called Eddy' ( the eponymous release). e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Girl_Called_Eddy_(album) Suggestions to start with: - Heartache - Somebody Hurt You - Girls Can really... - Tears All Over Town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Diana Krell he shakes her head too much,someone has implanted a spring in her neck! My fave tunes from Krell... 1. The Look of FPB600 2. Power costs money 3. Torroid 4 life 4. Power bills are nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dusty Springfield--The Look of Love. Hard to argue with that. Krall has some amazing legs though. Notice how they are featured on most every cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammy Awards mean less than nothing. Christopher Cross won 5 Grammies in 1979. Remember him? They didn't give Billie Holiday an award until she was long dead.
