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 like Dianna Krall. She has her own style and doesn't copy anyone else. She does her own interpretations of songs. I have about six of her cds. The Girl in the Other Room and Live in Paris are my favorites. She shows enough emotion on Black Crow with excellent arrangements and  a great band.
I've never understood her appeal. Like Patricia Barber, she seems to be particularly favored by audiophiles.


I live in Ft L. I was down the street at RokBrgr that night when I heard she was playing. I was on my motorcycle, when I got the top of the hill and found out it was sold out, I got back on my big ass (700#+ bike) and my foot slipped on the cobble stones and the bike fell over. One of the cops directing traffic down on the street ran up, and could smell the alcohol and would not let me ride it. I called a friend to come get me, which took 20 minutes, the cops were preoccupied down below, so I hopped on my bike and went home. I have 4-5 of her albums, both redbook and DVD-A. Back in 1998 she came out with a calendar (along with a CD) that it took me a half hour to locate.


I have seen Patricia Barber live twice, once at the Broward Center of Performing Arts (same place as DKrall). I have 4 of her albums

Different strokes...

tweak1, I saw you that night, I was on the deck overlooking the hill there, saw you fall over, the cop come up, all of it.  I thought you were going to be arrested.  

What a coincidence!!
