Best Diana Krall album...........is???

Fpeel, I agree with you. I also have all her CDs (and SACDs as well) and "Stepping Out" is the one I turn to for the best feel and (in my opinion), the best sound. And I thought I was the only one .... ;-)

Regards,

Just start the same way I did with Diana Krall, get ALL of them

"The Girl in the Next Room" is good in its own right. It is a very big departure from her other work. The all original material is a departure from her other releases which is primarily covers of jazz standards. The influence of Elvis Costello definitely shines through, of course, since he co-wrote almost every song. Aside from being a little dark (Costello again)"

Fpeel expresses my feelings above. Most of her stuff w/orchestra is too produced/commercial for me. Cheers,
Spencer

My vote is also for "The Girl in the other room". It is very well recorded and for me it makes her reach more than the "standards" she has recorded. The texture in her voice explores many variations which I really like and the songs themselves are very engaging. Someone said they are darker....perhaps, but they really suck you into the music.

Ya heard one Ya heard em all.
