Diana Krall is an amazing jazz pianist and vocalist, and her international success is a testament to just how well she has been able to captivate audiences all around the world. She is a true superstar of contemporary jazz, and a wonderful spokesperson for the medium (as is her husband, the fantastically entertaining Elvis Costello).
There are any number of wonderful recordings that demonstrate her many talents, but among my favorite is the live performance in Paris from a few years back. It is a such a pleasure to listen to this brilliant recording. Check out this swinging version of "I Love Being Here with You", with a fabulous jazz guitar solo:
In this same concert she shows just how a ballad should be done, with depth of feeling that is pure romance. Her voice is so arresting—it gives me chills—in this rendition of "A Case of You":
This performance is so wonderful, and a good example of just why Diana Krall has been so successful. She's a fantastic jazz artist, and she's likely to keep making great recordings for a long time.
