Anyone who "hates" Bill Evans is just hopeless!

that would be me! LOL! :-D but i do like Diana Krall.
i listened to Waltz for Debby & just couldn't understand it! :( so i used 1 album to make that decision.
any other Bill Evans I should hear that might help me become less "hopeless"? thanks.

Oregonpapa, I beg to differ - her best album is her debut album "Stepping Out" followed by "When I look in your Eyes". Of course, my opinion.... ;-)

thanks for the suggestions Oregonpapa!

Rpeluso,
it's just a discussion & our opinions being voiced. Don't take it too seriously. Indeed I or any one of us can read too much into how DK acted or reacted but what one person sees, another sees it differently. The whole idea of the forum is to share these thoughts.
Looks like you are the really serious kind who takes every written word literally & personally. Take a chill-pill dude...

Enjoy the recording to your hearts content. Likewise, none of us really care if you do or don't.
You really didn't have to write that & get all offensive about it. Plus, if you didn't have anything good to say, you should have kept your mouth shut rather than going on the offensive. Now see what you have done - turned a discussion into a needless argument (& maybe even a fight)....
Yeah, I think that you should just leave & crawl back into your hole.....
Bye, Bye!

Tubegroover, thanks for the link to a track from your expensive lounge music CD. Yeah, it's pretty awful! Sorry to confirm this.
When I want lounge music I turn to sky.fm (now Radio Tunes) & get my fill from that stream.

DK is also coming to town in April & I spent a reasonable amount on tix to see her. Let's hope it's a good concert.....

Saw her in concert very recently in April 2015. Overall I *think* I liked the concert but there were many times that I wondered what i was doing in being present in the audience...
On all her album covers she looks cold even tho she's blonde & is being sold to the public as a "babe". In person, I confirmed (to myself) that she is cold. I couldn't spy any warmth in her. I suppose that's just her personality - take it or leave it...
I personally don't think she's a good showman (i've seen better & way better) but the wife thought that she was funny. She was trying to be funny & managed to sound somewhat funny at times. The crowd just lapped it up. One guy shouted "I love you Diana!" & another guy up in the balcony area immediately shouted back "I love you more Diana!". That got the crowd laughing alright!
The video on the screen behind was from the silent movie days & IMPO was just weird!
The songs she sung were good in general but I really liked her delivery of Calif Dreaming, Street full of Broken Hearts & there was one more I'm forgetting.
She did sing "peel me a grape" but I felt that she butchered the song totally - nothing even remotely similar to the studio version (which is from here Love Scenes album, which i have). The entire thing about that song is her intonation & emphasis on certain words that really make that song. If you skip on those emphasis, it becomes just a lack-luster song [which is what this concert version was :( ]
I probably will not go back for another DK concert - been there, done that!

Should I buy Wallflower? Should i not buy Wallflower?? Like Raymonda wrote - the utter lack of passion in all the songs in Wallflower maybe makes it a work of art?? in a decision limbo on this album.
IMPO her best 2 albums are "Stepping Out" & "When I look in your eyes".

oregonpapa, I don't mind my opinions being critiqued - no problem here.
I don't like being personally attacked for what I wrote which is exactly what Rpeluso did.

Did you read his 3 posts (1 of them is a duplicate). Read them & re-asses your post. Thanks.

My moniker stands the way it is - no correction required. Maybe you need some lessons in English comprehension??
