Diana Krall

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!!

@rpeluso

Me too!

The saving grace was they were so busy directing traffic, so he quickly picked the bike up and moved it to the side and went back down the hill

DK remains one of my favorite artist, just picked up Limited run of ‘Live In Paris’ SACD. This concert is one of the best live recordings captured on any format and it sounds even better on the Japanese SACD…Wow! 

@tweak1:

"Different strokes..."

Yes, of course...

I guess the bottom line is that DK sounds more like a lounge singer than a Jazz singer to me and I simply prefer the latter. Helen Merrill, Sarah Vaughan, Sheila Jordan, Betty Carter and-- to mention one of DK's contemporaries, Jacki Ryan-- are some of my favorites.
