Years after the '90s, the decade will be remembered for the rise of pianist-vocalist Diana Krall. Simply put, this British Columbian-born artist is one of the most engaging musicians to emerge from the heap of scat-happy singers high on pyrotechnics, but short on poetry. Stamped with the imprimatur of the Nat King Cole trio and blessed by her apprenticeship with the late West Coast piano giant Jimmy Rowles, Krall simply sings songs the way they're supposed to be sung: with devotion to the lyric and with attention to the groove. This CD finds Krall in familiar company with compatriots Russell Malone (on guitar), bassist John Clayton, drummers Lewis Nash and Jeff Hamilton, and vibraphonist (and former Bill Evans associate) Larry Bunker--all supported by Johnny Mandel's svelte string arrangements. Krall and crew take Irving Berlin's chestnut "Let's Face the Music and Dance" and the Sinatra-signatured "I've Got You Under My Skin" south to Brazil via a sexy bossa nova. Malone's lush guitar accompaniment complements Krall's heartfelt delivery on "When I Look in Your Eyes," and Michael Franks's "Popsicle Toes" dances courtesy of Hamilton's drum work. "Devil May Care," "East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)," The Best Thing for You," and the stridish "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" groove with a minimum of waste, while Mandel's simpatico strings steal the show on "I'll String Along with You," "Pick Yourself Up," and "Do It Again." All of which further illuminate the cool fire from this fine gift from North of the Border. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Customer Reviews

don't get me wrong , understand i'm right
CARLOS SANTANA is an excellent musician . THIS was the far better album of the year it lost to "SUPERSTITION" . the understated and incredibly tasteful guitarist RUSSELL MALONE . the miraculous arrangements of JOHNNY MANDEL . the sexiness and pitch perfect restraint of MS. KRALL'S vocal and piano contributions . LEWIS NASH or JEFF HAMILTON on drums . the song selection and programing of the material . the lifetime achievement award was SANTANA'S . the music is ours . the snapshot forever . the depth of this deep , sultry well will grow in stature . sans radio play . by word of mouth . just off the beaten path more traveled .

relaxing music
This is a great background music CD when you have guests, want nice music on, but not enough to interfere with conversation. Or you can turn it up and dance with your partner to something jazzy.

No better way to unwind
There are tons of reviews out there for this CD. I just wanted to add that there is not better way to relax than to sit on a deck or patio in the summer with the beverage of your choice and this playing in the background.
