| Audio CD Description Singer/pianist Diana Krall breaks new ground interpreting modern standards by Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Joni Mitchell, as well as compositions by herself and new husband, Elvis Costello. Krall's piano-jazz cred comes through loudly and clearly on her Count Basie-styled version of the Bonnie Raitt staple "Love Me Like a Man" (written by folk-bluesman Chris Smither). But it's the collaborations with her spouse that unearth untapped emotional nuances of her velvet voice; many are reminiscent of Bill Evans's moody, impressionistic pieces. The title track, "Narrow Daylight," "Abandoned Masquerade," and "I'm Coming Through" all deal with love and loss. "Departure Bay," a picturesque ode to her hometown of Nanaimo, B.C., proves that this is the start of something big, and that two heads--and hearts--are better than one. |

Great CD I've been a fan of Diana Krall since I first heard her excellent renditions of old classics on previous cd releases. Her albums have never disappointed me. Her lyrics, deep and emotional, not spappy--revealing. The first time I heard Krall moved me. This CD is a great addition to her catalog. I also think it has some of the best "sounding" music I have heard on any CD. Her voice is simple and pure with a live quality and piano is set forward like it should be. This is new stuff, not pop, not jazz or blues just the best of the three styles.
The Girl in the Other Room I have very diverse taste in music, from blues to bluegrass, and I really enjoyed this CD. It is great for "girl time".
This will become a classic! Many Diana Krall fans have come to appreciate her renditions of classic jazz standards. They may be disappointed because this CD contains unfamiliar, mostly original material by Diana (with Elvis Costello, her husband, collaborating on some songs). "Stop this world" Mose Allison, "Temptation" Tom Watts, "Black Crow" Joni Mitchell, "Almost Blue" Elvis Costello (1982) and "I'm pulling through" are not by Diana and are also not that familiar. But after initial listening it grows on you and the more you play it the more you come to appreciate it. The lyrics, the combo backing, Diana's piano technique, and her phrasing with that incomparable voice all contribute to what I believe will come to be considered a classic. This is a fabulous collection of songs by one of the top female jazz singers today! |
