IndyKlipschFan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 No one will ever do a better version of "Walk On By" than Dionne Warwick. Why even try? LOL Elvis Costello, 52, and Diana Krall, 42, took their twin boys, Frank Harlan James and Dexter Henry Lorcan, 6 months, out for a Mother's Day stroll in NYC in matching Orbit strollers.

blindman Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I may get flamed for this, and if that is the case, flame away. I can stand the heat. The following is just my opinion....... I don't get it. I have been a "lurker" here for several years. I have read the glowing reviews of Diana Krall on this forum. I had never heard of her. Curiosity lead me to buy one of her CD's. I have listened to this CD with Klipschorns & La Scalas. I have listened with my Moondog SET 2a3's, my McIntosh MC30's, my Scott 299B, my EICO HF-81, and my McIntosh MC 2105. I don't get it. I do not enjoy listening to her CD. I don't like her choice of songs, her voice, her musical accompaniment, etc. I never play her CD when I have friends over...and none of my friends notice the ommision since they have never heard of her either. Can someone please explain what it is that they find so compelling? It seems that all I read are just general (non-specific) comments that say the listener likes her latest CD. What specifically do you like? Is it the voice? The range of her voice? The lyrics? The instruments? The stereo effects? Is it just background/easy listening music? Is it elevator music? Do you stop everything that you are doing and concentrate on just listening? I am not trying to be sarcastic. I really just don't get it.

Hifi jim Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Blindman, you have a perfectly acceptable right to your opinion and taste in music as anyone. I have every Diana Krall cd minus the latest two as I haven't cared for her more recent work. I liked her earlier more traditional jazz, and I also feel those early albums were better recorded. "Stepping Out", "All for You" are good examples that showcase her piano talents better. To answer your questions: Is it the voice? The range of her voice? The lyrics? The instruments? The stereo effects? None of the above. I enjoy her music and piano work, but on the other hand Patricia Barber is the yes answer to those questions. I find Barbers recordings spellbinding, beautifully performed and recorded. But I'm sure there are those who "don't get" her either so don't feel bad. I don't get Celine Dion, Seal, or numerous other artists that are equally popular for their talent and recordings. To each their own... it's all about the music.

colterphoto1 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Man, what a horrible photograph of her. I am a professional photographer and I'm appaled that they would let THAT be the cover shot, yikes. Technically, yes. Here's my take on it- you have a go at it too Claude. The pose is unflattering to her face, revealling her rather wide nose, her mouth is crunched up on one side and eyes squinty and poorly lit. Eyes all the way to one side of the eye socket is normally not done in portraiture. Her arms look awkward and the rear hand is partly amputated so you don't see finger tips. The pose is odd, neither terribly feminine nor masculine although her slim waist and hips are shown. Her bosom area is nearly completely flattened in this pose. Her coup de grace, those legs, are mysteriously cropped out. Yes it has everything going against it in terms of traditional portraiture, but it's SAUCY!

Hifi jim Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 An awful picture for sure. It looks like she is trying to show off her slim physique after losing the baby weight. Maybe the legs were hidden for a reason, carrying twins may have caused a couple of vericose veins. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Does it getany better than this? Canadian torch singer and pianist Diana Krall isin perfect form in this two-hour Paris concert, recorded in December2001 shortly after the release of her CD The Look of Love.In her band, guitarist Anthony Wilson and bassist John Clayton get thelion's share of attention, but the entire ensemble (including lushstrings from the Paris Symphony Orchestra) provides flawless supportfor Krall, whose skill on a Steinway is as impressive as her smokyinterpretations of vintage standards and ballads. Inspired by guestconductor-arranger Claus Ogerman, Krall can surprise with subtleties(like a delicious hint of the Beatles' "Day Tripper" in her closing of"All or Nothing"), or glide into solos with a master's flair. Matchingthe music beat for beat, the camera coverage and editing are intimatewithout being obtrusive, making this a bit of jazz heaven here onearth. --Jeff Shannon Product Description Recorded live at theParis Olympia on December 1, 2001, Krall's classic style blends equalparts artistic vision, hard work and determination. The BritishColumbia native began playing piano at the age of four and now has fivestunning albums behind her. She made her debut with the criticallyacclaimed Only Trust Your Heartand the album topped the Billboard jazz charts for the most of 1998,earning Krall a Grammy nomination. She went on to win a Best Jazz VocalPerformance Grammy for 1999's platinum-selling When I Look in Your Eyes and became the first jazz artist in 25 years to be nominated in the Album of the Year category. Buy this "Live In Paris" DVD. If you do not care for it.. That's fine. Personally, I think you will see fand hear or yourself. It is recorded just amazingly well, and great to see her perform too. released: 4/2/2002 track list: 1. I Love Being Here With You 2. All or Nothing 3. Let's Fall in Love 4. The Look of Love 5. Maybe You'll Be There 6. Deed I Do 7. Devil May Care 8. Cry Me a River 9. Under My Skin 10. East of the Sun 11. I Get Along 12. Pick Yourself Up 13. S'Wonderful 14. Love Letters 15. I Don't Know Enough About You 16. Do It Again 17. A Case of You On December 1, 2001 Diana Krall performed to a captivated sold-out audience at the Olympia Theatre in Paris.Therewas electricity in the air as Diana flawlessly worked her way through aset that ranged from romantic ballads and bossa novas to cookinguptempo swing.On Live in Paris, the new DVD, Diana is accompanied by her own recording band andthe Orchestre Symphonique Europeen and Paris Jazz Big Band conducted bythe legendary Claus Ogernman.This concert performance features tracks from her latest album The Look of Love and the full set from her sensational world tour. On Live In Paris,the GRAMMY Award winner takes us through a variety of well-knownstandards all performed in the totally individual, yet classic stylethat is Diana Krall.

Hifi jim Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I love the Live in Paris show too. I think she is at her best with John Clayton and drummer Jeff Hamilton. However, the video quality of the DVD is downright poor, and the surround mix puts instruments behind you at times. I prefer the CD recording of the concert instead. And the cover of "A Case of You" is painful, she's no Joni. Just my .02 on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
