Glad Rag Doll is an exquisite new recording from GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Diana Krall. The album is an exhilarating and adventurous set exploring new sounds, new instrumentation and new musicians. Working for the first time with acclaimed producer T Bone Burnett and engineer Mike Piersante, the record is a revealing listen, capturing the vanishing point in which music collides with songs of longing and regret.Armed with her signature piano and sultry vocals, Krall brings timeless tunes, primarily from the ‘20s and ‘30s to the 21st century. Standouts includes “Let It Rain,” “We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye” and “Lonely Avenue.” The album has already been praised by publications including the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

Diana Krall – From This Moment On (2006)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 51:24 minutes | 1,00 GB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Verve
FROM THIS MOMENT ON is an eleven-song collection that captures the Canadian-born sensation in full swing, in great company, and at the top of her game. Recorded with her quartet and the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, it may also be her strongest, most cohesive release to date. Clearly inspired by the Big Band Era, the music mixes Krall’s golden intimacy with arrangements that often channel the spirit of Sinatra or Nat King Cole. Many of the songs are traditional jazz standards, but Krall and her group of superbly talented musians make them all their own. From the sexy Bossa of “How Insensitive” to the lounge-y combo sound of “It Could Happen To You,” to the rollicking Big Band of “From This Moment On,” FROM THIS MOMENT ON is a remarkable work by one of the great voices of contemporary jazz.

Stepping Out launched the career of one of our generation’s greatest Jazz artists. Diana Krall’s 1993 debut shows that she had the goods right from the get-go. Krall sings with honesty, subtlety, and persuasion while playing the piano with head-shaking authority, both as accompanist – she offers amazing asides in between vocal phrases – and as an absolutely A-one improviser. The Justin Time Essentials Collection introduces the album to a new generation of fans, but this time with an added bonus track from the original sessions – Diana’s incredible arrangement of “Summertime”.

From the moment you hear pianist-vocalist Diana Krall perform, amazing things take place. Her extraordinary ability to communicate the art of song with her delicate phrasing, dynamic vocal range and sensitive lyric interpretation creates an entrancing mood. Diana’s gift is her ability to capture the moment, the essence of the story — “the goosebump factor,” as described by Grammy-winning producer Tommy LiPuma. On her Verve debut, When I Look In Your Eyes, Diana’s artistic voice expands beyond the standard piano-trio setting of her previous releases, and on several selections is backed by the graceful talents of composer/arranger Johnny Mandel.

From the luxurious opening chords of the first track, even before Diana Krall has sung a single beautiful note, her new Verve release — The Look Of Love — has us hooked. After winning a Best Jazz Vocal Performance Grammy for 1999’s platinum-selling When I Look In Your Eyes, Diana Krall delivers her best album yet — a lush, cinematic collection of ballads and bossa nova tunes. The Look Of Love brings to mind such classic Frank Sinatra albums as and Only The Lonely. But the elegant piano solos, the sensual vocals and the wickedly-modern sense of humor are, inimitably, all Krall.

Grammy nominated Love Scenes features Diana’s mastery of the romantic ballad in an intimate piano trio setting with Russell Malone on guitar and Christian McBride on bass.
“But to me there is a broader and more personal attachment to each of the songs than the standard definition of romantic love might imply. I think that these songs represent the strength of love, including the love of family and friends. But rather than describing my own thoughts about each song, it is my hope that all of you who listen to the music and read the lyrics will discover and imagine your own personal “love scenes” among the mountains, oceans, rain and gardens of these songs.” –Diana Krall

Diana Krall – The Look of Love
Artist: Diana Krall | Albim: The Look of Love | Style: Vocal Jazz, Contemporary Jazz | Year: 2003 [2001 original] | Quality: DVD-Audio (MLP 5.1 96kHz/24Bit, MLP 2.0 96kHz.24Bit, Dolby AC3 5.1 48kHz/24Bit) | Bitrate: lossless | Tracks: 10 | Size: 4.56 Gb | Recovery: 5% | Covers: front only | Release: Verve Records (B0001604-19) | UMG, 2003 | Note: Not Watermarked
Diana Krall has a good voice and plays decent piano, but this somewhat ridiculously packaged Verve CD seems like an obvious attempt to turn her into a pop icon, and sex symbol to boot. The bland arrangements by Claus Ogerman (who conducts the London Symphony Orchestra or the Los Angeles Session Orchestra on each track) border on easy listening, while Krall and her various supporting musicians, including John Pisano, Russell Malone, Christian McBride, and Peter Erskine (among others), clearly seem stifled by their respective roles. There are plenty of strong compositions here, including standards like “I Remember You,” “The Night We Called It a Day,” and “I Get Along Without You Very Well,” but the unimaginative and often syrupy charts take their toll on the performances. What is even sillier is the label’s insistence on attempting to photograph the artist in various sultry poses, which she evidently wants to discourage by refusing to provide much of a smile (the rumor is that she’s not happy with this part of the business at all). If you are looking for unchallenging background music, this will fit the bill, but jazz fans are advised to check out Krall’s earlier releases instead. (more…)

Legendary composer Johnny Mandel contributes a string arrangement to “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep.” Rounding out the album are previously released versions of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “Christmas Time Is Here” with a band that includes guitarist Russell Malone.
This album is the perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season for you and all your friends! (more…)
