I enjoy good music and good playing and good singing. Diana Krall uses some of the best musicians and she plays piano pretty well also. I can tell you that in my opinion many of her songs are quite good and are the quality that I can listen to years later and still enjoy.
That, to me is quality in recorded music.
I've see her live on stage a few times and never left disappointed. She is quite good at what she does within her range. As I said earlier, she is on of the few artist that stays within her range and style. That is a very good thing.
She may not be to everyone's taste, but neither was Shirley Horn, Nina Simone, etc. How many of you didn't care for Nina in the day, but now appreciate her music? she was definitely in her own style of music. Not normal, but it was great.
I appreciate Diana Krall.
The girl in the other room, the look of love, When I look in your eyes? are you kidding? Those are really great albums and great music.
When I look in your eyes and why should I care are two of my favorite songs. Quite well done.
enjoy
