(5 Customer Reviews)
LIVE IN PARIS won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
ONE NIGHT IN PARIS is a 2-cd version with 2 bonus tracks of the Verve release, LIVE IN PARIS.
Diana Krall is best known as a purveyor of gently drifting ballads, with a trademark laconic delivery. Such preconceptions may be slightly nudged, if not altered, when her LIVE IN PARIS concert document kicks off with a swinging, up-tempo "I Love Being Here With You" that finds her making like Annie Ross, while also giving her top-shelf band a chance to blow. Aficionados of those aforementioned narcotized standards will soon be set to their ease however, as Krall moves slowly and deliberately through the likes of "Let's Fall in Love" and a bossa nova-tinged "I've Got You Under My Skin," her voice sailing atop a velvet sea of strings provided by Alan Broadbent and the Orchestra Symphonies European. Towards the end of the program, she turns to more modern contributors to the Great American (or in one case, Canadian) Songbook, offering a solo piano-and-vocal rendition of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" and a decidedly pop-oriented studio take on Billy Joel's ubiquitous "Just the Way You Are."
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). The first-ever live concert recording from Grammy winning vocalist/pianist Diana Krall, recorded at the Paris Olympia Theatre winter 2002. Here finally, captured in amazing audio quality, is an album showcasing the magic of Krall's concert performances. Krall & her band - perform some of the tunes from Krall's studio recordings, such as 'East of the Sun (West of the Moon)' & 'Devil May Care'. Joined by special guests John Pisano (acoustic guitar) & Paulinho DaCosta (percussion) for several tracks, including the Gershwin's 'S'wonderful'. The Orchestre Symphonique European, conducted by Alan Broadbent with special guest conductor Claus Ogerman, is featured on the upbeat 'Let's Fall in Love' & a haunting interpretation of 'I've Got You Under My Skin'. Featured on the album are live renditions of 'The Look of Love', the title track from Krall's platinum-certified Verve release, her first recorded version of the Joni Mitchell-penned 'A Case of You', & 'Fly Me to the Moon', a song not included on the previously-released DVD Diana Krall - Live in Paris. UNI.

A Breath Of Fresh Air Diana Krall.
Well what can you say, I have been a fan of all kinds of music for many years. When i saw Diana live in Paris,i just could not believe the talent that this girl has. Whether it's playing the piano or singing, she just took my breath away. There is only one word and that is, Fantastic. Submitted by kennethfield (England) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Another symptom of mainstream Jazz Decadence This is exactly jazz for people who don't like jazz. Of course, nothing to say about her "professionnalisme" (a terrible word to use). But where is the passion, the feeling, the failure? No where. The international success of Diana Krall is just that: an indication of the "decadence" of mainstream jazz himself. Jazz can't be "mainstream". It is, by definition, a provocation against all "conformismes". Or it is not. Diana Krall is the natural born child of the dreadfull Winton Marsalis, the man who want momofied jazz (and, alas, will sucess). Submitted by a reviewer (Brussel, Belgium) Was This Review Helpful?

Purchase Live In Paris CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Diana Krall When I Look In Your Eyes CD (1998)
Live In Paris album
$11.15 WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance and for Best Engineered Album, Non Classical. WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year.
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES, a 1999 Verve release, heralds the return of the cool and groovy Latin-tinged jazz of the '60s. Upon hearing the opening track, a bossa-nova-fied version of Irving Berlin's "Let's Face The Music And Dance," one might think he had accidentally put on a Getz/Gilberto record. In fact, it's hard to avoid comparing Krall's breathy alto to that of Astrud Gilberto-particularly ...
| | Diana Krall Look Of Love CD (2001)
Live In Paris CD music
$11.35 THE LOOK OF LOVE won the 2002 Grammy Award For Best Engineered Album.
While there's no denying that jazz-pop star Diana Krall's movie-star good looks went a long way toward endearing her to mainstream America, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Just as undeniable are Krall's gifts as a pianist and singer. Far from a crass populist, she's a subtle, nuanced performer who approaches her craft with an excess of skill and knowledge. This is apparent from the very beginning of THE LOOK OF LOVE, when Krall tackles the overly familiar Gershwin chestnut "S'Wonderful" not the way countless jazz singers have done in preceding decades, but in a style influenced by Joao Gilberto, who recorded the tune years before in a simmering bossa nova mode. This marriage of canny craft and artistic inspiration is repeated again and again throughout the album. Most of the songs here have been trotted out countless times by Krall's ...

Live In Paris music CDs
$6.39 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When ...

Live In Paris songs
$12.29 It may or may not be significant that Diana Krall's first album of new material since the ascendance of Norah Jones is the former's least jazzy, most pop-savvy album of her career. In any case, it marks Krall's biggest departure to date; THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM is almost entirely devoid of the jazz standards that constituted her previous repertoire, and it contains ...
