Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

A Music Review: Diana Krall

by Doug Mataconis @ 12:22 am on November 30, 2006.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard Diana Krall sing. It was on a Saturday morning sometime early in 2000. Her then-new CD When I Look In Your Eyes had just been released. And, she was appearing on CBS’s Saturday Morning show. I wasn’t entirely paying attention to the show, but when she started singing, I stopped whatever I was doing.

There she was. This blond-haired Canadian who sounded like Ella Fitzgerald and played the piano like Nat King Cole. I’d been into jazz and Sinatra, and all that stuff for a long time before that, so I was instantly hooked. When the show went off the air that morning, I went out and bought every CD she recorded that I could find and I’ve been a fan even since.

Well, I’ve been listening to her latest recording, From This Moment On since I got it at the beginning of October and I’ve fallen in love with the music all over again. This is collection of some of the greatest songs from the Great American Songbook, and Krall puts her own unique spin on them. Well worth listening to again and again….and yet again.
