Diana Krall Survey

A friend of mine is working the new Diana Krall release (first download track and cover art available tomorrow) for Verve Records. I mentioned that Audiogon has some devoted DK fans and he said he'd love to get any feedback that anyone might provide. So any comments (music, artwork, etc.) are appreciated.

TIA

Marty

I am not very familiar with Diana Krall but other non-classical contralto female singers I like are Mama Cass, Amy Winehouse, Beth Gibbons, and Carly Simon.

CAn she do something along the line of THis? I would like to hear that!

I think she is popular because her recordings seem to sound pleasing on 'high end' stereo systems. Sort of like the 'jazz at the pawn shop' thingy. Good sound, unexceptional music.

Her vocal range seems extremely limited. Also, her music rarely demonstrates much emotion. That being said, she has accomplished a lot.
