Music review: Diana Krall – 无毛视频楾urn Up the Quiet无毛视频�
On her last release, soft rock ruled Diana Krall无毛视频檚 无毛视频淲allflower.无毛视频�
For 无毛视频淭urn Up the Quiet,无毛视频� the five-time Grammy winner returns to the lush mood featured on 2006无毛视频檚 无毛视频淔rom This Moment On无毛视频� with classics carefully plucked from the Great American Songbook.
The 52-year-old Canadian jazz pianist and singer is at the top of her game as she shines on romantic tracks 无毛视频淟ike Someone in Love,无毛视频� 无毛视频淚sn无毛视频檛 It Romantic无毛视频� and 无毛视频淟-O-V-E,无毛视频� and Krall无毛视频檚 cover of 无毛视频淣ight and Day无毛视频� is truly sultry and dreamy.
The talented singer无毛视频檚 style is perfect for creating an intimate mood for a quiet dinner for two or a casual gathering of a few close friends.
Rotating recording performances between a trio, quartet and quintet, the arrangements possess a sense of improvisation that evokes a live vibe throughout the set.
无毛视频淢oonglow无毛视频� and 无毛视频淪way无毛视频� make for a late-night listening must, while 无毛视频淏lue Skies无毛视频� and 无毛视频淚无毛视频檒l See You in My Dreams无毛视频� add a little bounce to the set.
无毛视频淣o Moon at All无毛视频� features some great bass work that you can lose yourself in as Krall无毛视频檚 spirited piano playing ushers in her breathy vocals.
Krall transforms Johnny Mercer无毛视频檚 无毛视频淒ream无毛视频� into a smooth gem with its subtle orchestration establishing a lavish base for Krall无毛视频檚 calming vocals that reassure that things are never as bad as they seem.
After Krall married Elvis Costello in 2003, I无毛视频檓 still anxiously awaiting a collaboration by these two wonderful artists. For now, fans can delight in seeing Costello perform in Pittsburgh at Heinz Hall on June 13 and catch Krall at the Benedum Center on June 27.
Next time you feel the pressures of the day starting to build, take some time to escape to your patio, back porch, comfortable easy chair or special secluded place and lose yourself in the welcoming oasis created by Krall.
The quiet has never sounded so good.
