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.

I opened to read this discussion because I too am a big Diana Krall fan. But after reading some of the posts I just put on Shirley Horn "I Love you Paris" and I must say its right up there with the best of them. Hadn't listened to it in a long long time but it will be going to the frequently visited list for sure!!

Shirley Horne was an extraordinary artist.  Anyone who doesn’t know her work and likes romantic ballads should check out “Here’s To Life” with orchestrations by the great Johnny Mandel.  An exquisite recording artistically and sonics wise.

Saw her last night in Durham, NC and thought it was a great show.  Her band was amazing and while I agree she doesn't have the most dynamic range, we really had a great time.

Who cares whether DK has a classical voice or not. All I know is that she brings so much comfort and joy after a long hard day at work. I've been listening to her albums for 10+ years now. You can't have that kind of success and longevity if you're not talented or merely mediocre.
