Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0044006510927 Format: Live Label: Umvd Labels Manufacturer: Umvd Labels MPN: 065109 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Umvd Labels Release Date: October 01, 2002 Studio: Umvd Labels Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Recorded at the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris in November 2001, this is Diana Krall's first live album. Backed by her quicksilver combo of bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and guitarist John Pisano (on some tracks), Krall's jazz heritage comes through loud and clear on this program of standards, ballads, and bossa novas. On Peggy Lee's "I Love Being Here with You," Bob Dorough's "Devil May Care," and Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," Krall's snappy, postbop piano playing shows off her debt to Nat "King" Cole and Jimmy Rowles. Her cool contralto vocals are illuminated by the Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, under the direction of Alan Broadbent, as well as the London Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Claus Ogerman. Krall's deep take on Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" is a great choice for an encore, and the CD concludes with Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" (a studio track from a film called The Guru), with tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and bassist Christian McBride. This collection only hints at what Diana Krall has to offer in the future.--Eugene Holley Jr. Album Description: Canadian version of 2002 live release includes one exclusive bonus track, 'Charmed Life' & the U.S. bonus track, 'Just The Way You Are' (Studio Version/Billy Joel cover).

 Rating:  - Her voice is husky and coolThe first time I listened to her voice, I could not really match her voice with how she looks. She is a pretty woman. But her voice is husky and cool. I youtubed her and saw some video clips of "Live in Paris" and other performance videos. I've noticed that she often performs with a very talented bassist John Clayton. He is awesome. People rave about Diana but I have to say that John and other artists who performed with Diana are cool too. I think I am going to check out John's new project ...

'S marvelous!Live in Paris was recorded at the Paris Olympia on November 29 through December 2, 2001 during Diana Krall's 2001 world tour. Meticulously produced by Tommy LiPuma (known for his work with Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, and Natalie Cole on Unforgettable: With Love) and engineered by Al Schmitt for Verve Music, this is a live album that, except for the clapping in between songs, sounds like a studio album. It won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album and a Juno Award. Not only does the setlist ... Read More Rating: - "Let Me See What Spring Is Like On Jupiter And Mars"This CD, "Live In Paris," produced by Tommy LiPuma for Verve Records is one of my favorite Diana Krall CDs. It won the most-coveted award for "Best Jazz Vocal Album" at the 2002 Grammy Awards. The first 11 tracks were recorded live at the Paris Olympia in 2001 and the last track "Just The Way You Are," was recorded in New York City. What made this live recording so special to me is the inclusion of an all-time favorite song penned by Bart Howard, "Fly Me To The Moon." Diana Krall gives ... Read More Rating: - What can I say? 'S 'Wonderful!Last week I received this CD as a gift. I think I finally know why I like Ms. Krall so much. Besides the given that Ms. Krall is a wonderful Jazz pianist, and that she is very attractive, what I think is her real talent, is that she delivers on the emotion of a song so well that I feel that as she is singing, it is meant just for me, with a touch of wit just below the surface, like you are sharing a private joke. I don't know if that was articulated well enough to make sense, but there ... Read More |
