Diana Krall

Diana Krall was born in British Columbia, Canada. She was raised in Nanaimo, a small community on Vancouver Island, where she began performing professionally at age 15 as a jazz pianist. In 1981, Diana won a Vancouver Jazz Festival scholarship to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston and, after a year and a half of serious study, she returned to British Columbia. Renowned bassist Ray Brown heard her playing one night in Nanaimo and convinced Diana to move to Los Angeles where she obtained a Canadian Arts Council grant to study with Jimmy Rowles. Jimmy encouraged Diana to explore her vocals to supplement her already blossoming piano skills. With several successful CDs to her credit, Diana has won numerous awards including Canada's Juno Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album (2000) and a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance (2000). She received the Order of British Columbia in 2000 for being a good-will ambassador for British Columbia and epitomizing Canadian culture. The greatest talent in the jazz field to come along in a generation, she frequently acknowledges her roots in Nanaimo where she began . She epitomizes Canadian culture and is an outstanding citizen and good-will ambassador for British Columbia.

Diana Krall : Live In Rio

Review: Diana Krall has had a long time fascination with bossa nova, a type of music which perfectly suits her sophisticated yet sensual style. This culminated in her new studio album 'Quiet Nights' (released by Verve in spring 2009) and in this stunning concert filmed in the home of the bossa nova, Rio de Janeiro, in November 2008. Accompanied by her band and an orchestra, Diana Krall delivers a superb set of standards in true bossa nova style but clearly bearing her unique stamp. This DVD captures Diana Krall at her scintillating best.

Songlist: I Love Being Here With You, Let's Fall in Love , Where or When, Too Marvelous for Words, I've Grown Accustomed to His Face, Walk on By, Frim Fram Sauce, Cheek to Cheek , You're My Thrill , Let's Face the Music and Dance, Every Time We Say Goodbye, So Nice , Quiet Nights, Este Seu Olhar, The Boy From Ipanema , I Don't Know Enough About You, S'Wonderful, Exactly Like You

Diana Krall : From This Moment On

Review: In songs, mood and delivery, From This Moment On reveals Krall's personal ardor for that golden era of song-making, when Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and (especially) Nat 'King' Cole were in their prime. It's musical territory that Krall has often explored, but this album was certainly not a case of simply repeating past formulas: Krall's A-team of support - producer Tommy LiPuma, engineer Al Schmitt and arranger/bandleader John Clayton - were on hand to ensure that inspiration was kept on an edge, unhindered by the studio environment. This vocal/piano songbook features all 12 tunes from her foray into the Great American Songbook

Songlist: Come Dance With Me, Day In, Day Out, Exactly Like You, From This Moment On, How Insensitive (Insensatez), I Was Doing All Right, Isn't This A Lovely Day (To Be Caught In The Rain?), It Could Happen To You, It Was A Beautiful Day In August, Little Girl Blue, Willow Weep For Me, You Can Depend On Me

Style: Jazz
