CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Singer/pianist Diana Krall breaks new ground interpreting modern standards by Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Joni Mitchell, as well as compositions by herself and new husband, Elvis Costello. Krall's piano-jazz cred comes through loudly and clearly on her Count Basie-styled version of the Bonnie Raitt staple "Love Me Like a Man" (written by folk-bluesman Chris Smither). But it's the collaborations with her spouse that unearth untapped emotional nuances of her velvet voice; many are reminiscent of Bill Evans's moody, impressionistic pieces. The title track, "Narrow Daylight," "Abandoned Masquerade," and "I?m Coming Through" all deal with love and loss. "Departure Bay," a picturesque ode to her hometown of Nanaimo, B.C., proves that this is the start of something big, and that two heads--and hearts--are better than one. --Eugene Holley Jr. Similar CDs

Member CD Reviews Toni B. (twintoni) from ORANGE PARK, FL Reviewed on 7/26/2006... Jazz, blues, soul. Whatever you call it, it's great music.
CD ReviewsA unique pleasure... C. Middleton | Australia | 03/28/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The breezy and haunting sounds of The Girl in the Other Room has moved through the air of my home, gently filling the space with the resonating notes of a steady bass, the soft tapings of a high hat and cymbal and a voice that feels to whisper the lingering lyrics of songs written from the soul. Diana's fingers seem to barely touch the keys of her instrument, her heart expressing the existence of languid spirits, lost loves and memories of abandonment, past affairs and the fading scent of summertime. The music of Diana Krull redefines the meaning of the word "cool" or more so, brings its meaning back to its original roots, where cool can really only be expressed through the sounds of jazz and blues. Most of these tunes are a creative collaboration between Diana Krull and the genius of Elvis Costello. It is entirely evident that these two artists' have that mysterious ability to bring their minds and souls together, creating some extraordinary music. Hearing track twelve for the first time, Departure Bay, Diana's voice, like the magical chanting of an ancient magi, entered my being and opened my spirit to the endless possibilities of music, seemingly transporting the soul to other realities, beautiful worlds and landscapes, places the soul always yearns for in secret, waiting for the chance to finally go there...and stay. Diana and Elvis Costello have truly exceeded themselves with these songs. This CD is magical, strangely enchanting and truly mesmerizing. " My first Krall Keith944T | Harmony PA USA | 01/04/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "First recording that is. I heard her first in the beginning of that Clint Eastwood flick a while ago. This is good but I wasn't "impressed" like I was from that movie.
I have since bought the DTS Surround disc of her album "Love Scenes", A Much better release." |
