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.

I too love Diana Krall she is an excellent jazz singer. However vocally she is not in the class of Cassandra Wilson, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Rachelle Ferrell, Billie Holiday or even a Norah Jones. But again very few are. When I listen to DK she conveys her style and she engages you as few can. I again truly enjoy her music. However she vocally are not in the class of the female vocalist mentioned above. If you need  reference material please listen to the following and let your ears decide.

Nina Simone - Pastel Blues - Strange Fruit

Nina Simone - Four Women

Sarah Vaughan - George Gershwin Song Book - Misty

Cassandra Wilson - New Moon Daughter - Strange Fruit

Rachelle Ferrell - Individuality (Can I Be Me?) - I can Explain


Cheers

That was not my point so I hope you’re commentary is not aimed at me. I happen to love DK music as a matter of fact I own mostly ever album she has ever made. However I do agree with some of the comments that vocally she is not in the same class as other female vocalist. Does that mean she is not a good singer, not at all... Again she is a very talented singer and pianist. 

Cheers
