Diana Krall


I was in Fort Lauderdale last Thursday and saw/heard Diana Krall.  Second time, first was in Wilkes Barre PA after Wallflower cd, this one after her recent one.  Two quite different concerts, both outstanding.  This one was "jazzy", an upright bass, a drummer, guitarist, fiddle/violinist (and a pianist/vocalist).  5 great musicians on the stage, and a wonderful singer.  She is wonderful live.  Highly recommended, as equipment reviewers often say.  Worth the price of admission.

DK is harmonically flat, even by Jazz standards that have no interesting harmonies.  (I am using harmony in the musical sense of Chords.) -  score 0/10.  Melodically I find her uninteresting - maybe 4/10.    Rhythm: nothing sophisticated 1/10.  All in all a bore.  Voice is excellent - at least 7/10. 
Malcolm Steward writing for Hi-Fi Choice gave her a great roasting.  One of his comments was along the lines (I will try to quote from memory):  "... and don't get me started on her sub-Liberace piano tinkling."  !!  Her backing 'band' have all the enthusiasm of men heading off to have vasectomies from a blind surgeon with Parkinson's.
