I have developed a massive love for this woman. Stunningly beautiful and out of this world talent on a piano. Absolutely world class!

And she's Canadian, so, you're welcome!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I kind of already thought you might be a brother from another mother but this seals it.  I've been in love with her for years now.

Birthday gift from the wife a year or two ago was to see her in concert with the LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl.

One of my faves ...

Big fan of Diana Krall since the early '00s. Had a SO that loved her music. Liked it, saw her in concert in a smaller venue. Have her early CD's and live in Paris DVD. After 10 years, she started to sound the same as songs were similar, so I float in and out. Enjoy.

She's married to Elvis Costello. How cool is that? Saw her play at Carnegie Hall, her first appearance there, I think it was a couple of years after Love Scenes was released (1999?, I have the stub somewhere - it was well before she started playing with an orchestra) just her, a bassist (amazing, I think it was Christian McBride) and a guitarist, love her minimalist style, still remember the audience chuckling at the playful Lost Mind guitar solo, he played with the tempo in a funny way not like in the studio recording. Cassandra Wilson you might like if you like DK. Maybe Regina King.

This is the song that got me to buy her Nat King Cole tribute album, Frim Fram Sauce:

She is awesome!  First time I heard her was on Dave Grusin album Two For The Road back in late 1990s she sang two songs on it. Her Nat King Cole Tribute album is phenomenal. I've been a fan for a long long time. My wife (before we were married) asked me one of those questions women always like to ask men. She asked me if there was anyone in the world I would leave her for and jokingly I said Diana Krall because she's tall and blonde, can play the piano as good as any jazz man and can sing. Needless to say wife hates her.:-P

I've seen her play three times. First time was in Chicago. Her and Tony Bennett played sets and then did three songs together at end as a duet. Think that was in 2000. Then again in Chicago on her own and a few years ago out here in Tampa. My wife actually bought tickets for a Father's Day or anniversary present and came with me. I have all of her albums except most recent one, including her first recording with another guy, song is called Detroit Blues, a good duet. 

@Mr. Desmond check out her album Glad Rag Doll if you want to hear her do something different. Hard to believe she is a fifty year old mother of two in the pictures that accompany it (actually 49):

For future reference, I believe the 5th Amendment covers those questions. But it worked out ok for you to actually answer it, so you got it right apparently. Well done. (not a bad answer either :beer:)

Lol. Yeah, I plead the Fifth a lot. Listening to some of her stuff right now. I'll post some YouTube vids of some of my favorites by her later.

Diana Krall's rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - her recent version is a little too subdued for me:

This 1995 version is way better:

Does she get a lot of play on Canadian radio? She's from Vancouver, no? And the 33% Canadian content on the radio rule is still enforced?

Take the A Train

 

 

Anyone listen to Stacey Kent?

I have majority of her CDs (among audiophiles which I am one, her recordings are a must).   I love her voice, and instrument solos in her music.  Her Besa me mucho SACD recording is really good.   Others I like - Hit the road, Jack.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
