She has a sweet voice that nearly intoxicates you. Too bad she looks like my x wife, and has that look on her face that screams slap me(I have not yet slapped my X:p) I hope Sona doesn't read this:D Check her out on youtube, and you will see what I mean.

You ever hear "peel me a grape"?
A good reason why she should be heard, and not seen.

No I haven't. Only what's on "The Girl In The Other Room" and "The Look Of Love". I'd rather peel a onion than listen to her. :D

I find that intriguing. When I first started to listen to Diana I was confused. It was like an acquired taste. At first she made me sleepy, but after a few listens I started to get "into the grove", and she would pick me up. I have to listen to her on my custom SDA's to really get into it. 32 MW's just simply energize you. Leaves your hair standing up.

Yeah I had a thing for her when I saw the pictures, but after seeing the videos, and the restraining order I soon lost interest...

This is her best album and really shows her talent and energy.

She puts me to sleep.
Yep. Me, too. IMO, she lacks emotion in her music.

You gotta come over my place some time. I can almost guarantee it'll change your thoughts on her.

You should see the DVD of "Live in Paris." It gives you goose bumps and she is sooooo hot.

I saw Elvis last night actually when his band opened for The Police here in Dallas, he put on a good show.

When I Look In Your Eyes has long been one of favorites reference discs. Very well recorded, awesome jazz arrangements, and great voice.
I do not enjoy The Look of Love nearly as much.
I probably need to get my hands on the newer stuff including the Grammy winning live album.

My favorite is her first one, "Stepping Out-The Early Recordings".
There are 3 or 4 selections with no vocals; just her paino, bass and drums (John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton). Very good IMO.

The weird thing is, listening to her with speakers does nothing for me.
I listen using Stax headphones, whole other experience.
Different sound completely.

Live in Paris is a crazy-good cd. Her version of "Do I Love You?" is amazing. I didn't realize there's a dvd, guess I gotta add that to the netflix queue.

Just my own opinions, but I feel obligated :-) to share them:
* She looks like a brat, grown-up. I am not big into blondes in general, but I really dont' find her terribly attractive at all.
* She is at best an uninteresting singer. I actually find her to be pretty poor; she sounds like a Canadian trying to sound slightly soulful. In a very different context, Van Dyke Parks referred to something similar as "white boy got the woo-woos".
* She's a pretty good pianist.
* Her albums sound great.
YMMV, of course... :-)

I like her, but I like Mary Stalling and Patricia Barber even more :)
I just want to ask her, "why such the long face", and feed her a carrot.

That's exactly what I really wanted to say...:eek:
Krall is a simply a product of marketing hype. She is the Britney Spears of the jazz genre. She won't go down in the annals of history as a great jazz singer.

SS - you like Mary Stallings? OK, you got good taste. Mary is a true jazz singer.

Jane Monheit or Cassandra Wilson are good. Krall sounds like she's just going through the motions. She has good sound, but puts no emotion into her performance.

Yeah, I would say Mary Stalling pretty much shows everyone else in Jazz how it's done. I have several of her albums but my favorite is "Fine and Mellow" on Gold Disc.
"Live at the Vanguard" is pretty good too.

If you guys like Krall, you'll cream in your panties once you hear anything by Dianne Reeves, the reigning queen of contemporary jazz.

All of them.
Start with the "Best of..."
What the hell is this "no emotion" sentiment? She may not be my favorite, but "Live! In Paris" is chalk full of emotion.
Seriously, sometimes I wonder about you folks...

I have an SACD by Terrance Blanchard, Reeves vocals are featured on two of the tracks and she is smokin hot, the disc also has Jane Monheint, Cassandra Williams and Krall, of course the SACD is out of print but this one is a winner, there are also a few instrumental tracks where Blanchard does his stuff.
As far as Krall, I have been a fan, but, I caught her on HDNET TV at the Montreal Jazz festival, ugh, maybe she was having a bad night, but she looked dumpy in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt looking thing, she sang lousy, she struggled at the piano, and she had zero stage presence, ruined my Krall fantasies.

My x slapped me with a pie. I never completely recovered. Listening to Diana Krall helps alleviate the trauma.
