Diana Krall

I was in Fort Lauderdale last Thursday and saw/heard Diana Krall.  Second time, first was in Wilkes Barre PA after Wallflower cd, this one after her recent one.  Two quite different concerts, both outstanding.  This one was "jazzy", an upright bass, a drummer, guitarist, fiddle/violinist (and a pianist/vocalist).  5 great musicians on the stage, and a wonderful singer.  She is wonderful live.  Highly recommended, as equipment reviewers often say.  Worth the price of admission.

Thank you for getting it.

Sad that we are at a point where if one makes the point that in all human endeavors there exists superior levels of excellence that are far above the "merely good" one is labelled as a bourgeoisie snob.


@rpeluso Just give everyone a "participation" award and rate them all as equals because after all "it is a matter of taste and there is no right or wrong." Oh the glory of relativism. No one gets their feelings hurt....except for the truly exceptional.

any person with average smarts that lacks sportsmanship is no connoisseur.

It's blunt.

Minor detail ,lalitk .
Classical and Jazz and much of true folk music are Fine Arts not Sports .
Take decades to learn to play and listen to .
I’ll really do care who or what people want to listen to, I do care if they
elevate a mediocre artist to a level they do not deserve .
Not for me, I am nothing  , I run my mouth for others who might believe that and never get into the best .
And and at its best Music can do what no sport can do or for that matter no other Fine Art can do, raise the human
mind , body and soul to the highest level  . The other Arts are representational, music is the thing itself .

If you want to hear true feminine Fine Art , listen to Nina Simone singing
"Porgy" and listen close .

schubert,

“I do care if they elevate a mediocre artist to a level they do not deserve”

And why do you care so much if few folks out of the millions chose to put DK on a pedestal. As it’s been said repeatedly in this thread, music or artist is a personal choice or preference.

Although Nina Simone is a fine artist, do you think everyone out there should appreciate her true feminine art as much you do?

AMERICA is built on diversity my friend, you should learn to embrace and appreciate the freedom of choice we all have been afforded (and often taken for granted).
