DIANA KRALL IN CONCERT
Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Diana Krall grew up on Vancouver Island in the western part of Canada and began studying the piano when she was four years old. By the time she was 15, she was playing jazz in local restaurants and bars.
Ms. Krall was still a teenager when she was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. After two years in Boston she moved to Los Angeles, where she first me her Jazz influences, including John Clayton, pianist/singer Jimmy Rowles, and Ray Brown, the legendary bassist who served as her musical mentor (and played on Only Trust Your Heart). Ms. Krall had lived in Los Angeles for three years when she then moved to Toronto, and it was a Canadian label that gave her a chance to record for the first time. In 1993, the Montreal-based Justin Time Records released her debut album, Stepping Out. In 1994, she signed with GRP and recorded Only Trust Your Heart, which featured Brown on bass and Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone and marked the beginning of her association with Tommy LiPuma (who has worked with everyone from Barbra Streisand to George Benson).
Diana Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date, her albums have garnered five Grammy® Awards, 10 Juno® Awards and have also earned nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums. Krall's unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable and beloved artists of our time.
Love Ms Krall and was not disappointed. Especially enjoyed that it was a trio and her band mates her were excellent.
Great show. Diana Krall has a great voice and singing style.
I like the fewer instruments setting that I experienced with Diana Krall, At the Paramount, One can appreciate the cleaner purer sound of the 1-3 instruments, As for Diana talking w audience, asking for requests, I felt it was nice & casual & why not?, It did feel more like a living room gathering in that way, Id also say, I dont mind if a performer stumbles, loses place, etc, They are not robots, If one wants a sterile music experience, perhaps a CD ?
Diana Krall is such a professional and Classy Torch Singer Songwriter. All songs performed by Krall were exquisitely sung,
Loved Diana Kralls Jazz Piano,voice & I looked up when her next concert would be , as soon as I got home, from Paramount; looks like Japan, so hoping she’ll get back to US soon.Im not a big concert goer but When someone special & Elegantly Talented,as she, so worth it,
Show of a lifetime. Supremely talented and cool, loved every minute! Made everyone feel like it was for them.
As always Diana Krall was amazing! She was so much more personable than I've ever seen her. She didn't have her usual musicians with her but the two she had were great. We've seen her at many different venues and the Paramount in Huntington was by far the worst! Sad to say because I love seeing shows on Long Island. There's never any parking, but the seating was terrible! We had great seats, however your basically sitting on someone's lap and your legs are pushed up to your chest! It was awful, everyone seemed to have the same complaint.
Love her music but she seamed sad and the vocals came up short of my expectations
Simply, great music by a great singer and down to earth and funny as well. Bravo!
The St. George Theatre is a magnificent venue to see a show. When we are blessed with such a talented down to earth performer in this historic and acoustical perfect theater, magic occurs. Diana could perform the alphabet song and kill it. I hope she returns, we were moved by her ability to be so smooth and the musicians that accompanied her were incredible. It was apparent it was all about the music. Staten Island loves you! Perfection and vulnerability, one of the best shows I’ve attended at the venue. Effortless sultry and soulful come to mind, please come back!!!
