When I first saws this in 1999, I just had my third open heart surgery to replace my aortic heart valve. I was 11,5 years old. As a child you received only a very small amount of pain killers. So it was about 23:00 , I was in pain, had hoses out of my body and my dad brought me a small satellite television. And then I lay in my bed, in pain , and she came on television. Making the pain bearable and opening my world to jazz. What a great memory! Thanks for uploading this!
Her feelings are so deep in a song that jazz is the only way to present it. I have never heard such a passionate singer of jazz. This 74 year old grandma loves her songs. And that piano is just an extension of her voice.
I had a cd given for my Christmas a few years ago from my daughter and she was even more wonderful with her interpretation of all the old love songs and this ninety two years old was singing along with her she made me feel so good about myself
l _LOVE_ her! l grew up listening to my dad's jazz in the 70's, and when l first heard her play n sing l was _stunned!_ There's something about her expressions, and Her countenance that can grab, and keep one's attention! She enunciates her words, and surprises with tone changes that are unique to her alone! She has a romantic way about her. Especially when her eyelids close halfway! OH! And she's a FANTASTIC musician with AMAZING influences! Bravo Diana! Another Canadian mega talent!
It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to Diana Krall. But this hard driving, swinging set makes me wonder why I ever stopped listening. Great classic songs and a super-talented group of musicians, along with Krall’s signature vocals, interpretations and musicality.
Brilliant pianistic performance. Her knowledge and application of historical jazz concepts is staggering. She shows great respect for the jazz pianists who came first, yet she is ultra creative with her own musical ideas. Amazing talent.
Hi! I know that your comment is 5 years old, but I'm very curious about what you said. Can you give me some hints to feel that what you wrote about? I know that this is huge topic and demand hundreds/thousands hours of listening jazz but maybe you can give any guidance?:)
Diana Krall never disappoints. She seems, however, very self-conscious as she walks to the piano. Don't worry, Diana, like I said, you won't disappoint. I also love that she sings so many standards. Well, they're called standards for a reason, right?
Ms. Krall has the one of most unpretentious, organic voices I have ever heard. With her rich, sultry tone, any type of vocal gymnastics is superfluous and frankly would hurt her performance.
Oh please. At best she is a middling jazz player, and has very little stage presence. Playing jazz standards in an uncreative way is not that impressive.
My Dad's favorite musician was Oscar Peterson. I got my love of Jazz from my Dad. I wish he'd lived long enough to hear Diana Krall. I'm sure he would have loved her too, and we could have jammed together.
This is the first time I've seen her live. Listening to her recordings with that beutiful,smooth,seductive voice gave me the impression that she was a laid back chanteuse. Then when she walked on stage her awkward gait blew that image away & she turns out to be a major surprise. She is so real and played with such a down to earth presence that I couldn't believe it was the same woman. Loved this spirited live side of Diana.
She's got a unique style . Shes also very attractive with that Nordic feminine look. She's the best on all accounts. Definitely nice to listen to. The best !!!!!
How beautiful it is in this life to be able to see and listen to the music of so many talented people .It's really just kinda beyond words . The sounds of the universe and beyond ?? ...
@@SWHBOYCE What you said should be acknowledged and appreciated. When I was a kid in the forties & fifties we had radio and sometimes my day would sit in the living room and play his guitar and my mom might harmonize some songs with him. Weekends maybe a friend would visit and there would be a lot of conversation, singing, playing. When I was about 13 or 14 I'd listen to the radio quietly as I fell asleep in bed; Club Hangover on Bush above Powell ( the announcer would say - San Francisco, 95 miles north) and it would be Kid Ory, Jack Teagarden, Ralph Sutton, and lots of Dixieland musicians. The seeds of music get planted early.
@@nemo227 I can only say how important all of those people were ; and I like your story a lot . As I read it I was able to see and hear what you experienced . How lucky that ( I'm assuming ) that all humans have similar stories !...again I say and I'm really happy that everyone on this planet has stories like ours .Then there's the travel ,which is still as important ,the friends , parents- it goes on and on...I hope the future has such repetition for everyone with less politics and obstacles .
@@SWHBOYCE But will S.W.H. BOYCE be telling his/her story? Or maybe the story will be featured as the movie of the week on television? That's one of the mysteries about the people we pass on the sidewalk and the people on the internet . . . we rarely hear or read about their stories (and everyone has real life stories).
Let's put you on a bus, with 10 other dudes, and drive you all over the US and the world. You get to see nothing but stage after stage after stage. Oh yea, you will also be asked to perform a 1-hour set, maybe 2 sets, 300 of 365 days. For years. How ya feelin"??
You think she tours on a van? She wont even fly coach. I get being moody on a particular gig. The whole I´m over this shit act gets old very quickly. Just an opinion. As long as it´s swinging, I´m cool...
One of my very favorite jazz singers. She's also such an incredible piano player! Every time I watch this video I have to laugh when she scolds the guy with the binoculars. She is just "so real" and down to earth.
I saw her in Kettering Ohio, 2004..., playing as a Tornado passed near by. Her sheet Music was later found in Kansas, Her and the Piano were the only things left on stage and she didn't miss a note . The sounds and sight were surreal. No Fans left that outdoor show..., till it was over.
I'm so happy to listen to you and your friends You have an extraordinary style. I will continue to listen. Take care of yourself. With my love from Turkiye..
Diana didn't start singing until like in her twenties. A low voice was not as accepted and she wasn't encouraged. But she's a real total musician and brings it!!! Just think if there's something you have started yet, go for it man, who knows? I love this band. Everyone is there for the music and they all look so PLEASANT. Of course that's what a Canadian would naturally have. The guitarist Peter is great and as one myself when i see the wind blowing I give a little shiver because it's hard to keep the blood flowing to the fingers. Look closely at Peter's fingers, that redness tells a story. Check out his solo in Lost Mind and Diana turning around with a big smile. 29 minutes in.
I love Irene Kral and Diana Krall. Would Jazz fm, where I listen most of the time, please play more of both of them. For a live performance, this is really wonderful. She is not only absolutely gorgeous, but what a wonderful musician. on Jazz fm.
I’ve listened to + been a fan of this lady’s amazing music + song for quite sometime but this is a first to see her sing + play. Well, I’m astonished, she’s so young + gorgeous yet so maturely skilled + not a music sheet in sight!
We’re so proud Diana is our Canadian Diva … have lived and created wood fired ceramics in Nanaimo …. So many Great multimedia artists people there …. Diana is a result of this inspirational Mecca , and shes internationally recognized , wow🎉.. wish she could be more appreciated in our great land Canada .. 🇨🇦
DIANA, TEMPERAMENTO, SWING, CARACTER, IDEAS, CREATIVIDAD, TALENTO...¿QUE MAS? Y OBVIO, NO PODEMOS DEJAR DE LADO SU SENSUALIDAD PURA EN SU GENERO Y LA EXPRESIÓN GENUINA EN LA INTERPRETACIÓN...! YES YES tito
Wow -- her recording "I've got you under my skin" has long been just about my favorite --- watching her sing it on a windy stage in such a sterile setting and make it so ---- intimate (sexy?) as the wind plays with her hair -- seeing how she lost herself in the moment which was the song -- just amazing -- this is a great video -- it shows things about her that are very nice and comfortable
Without that bottle-blond hair and make-up, with her long face she's NOT pretty, but her producers try to sell sex, we've notice on a lot of her sites! She's a good jazz pianist and we like her low voice, reminiscent of Julie London a bit. I'll bet she smokes though!
Time flies. 1999 I was at Newport Jazz to catch Diana Krall-- a grand bonus to watch and hear for the first time Peter Bernstein. Arguably, Diana's best hired guitar-slinger.
What a slow build to the killing it taste of real meat between show play lists, to bring everyone forward with attention to their individual skills, mentality quotient-the-moment on a long boring unintentional tourist kinda way. SHAZBAT!!! The things these fine artists go through to catch your imaginations is the crucible they must cross . Kudos et advobiscum, Otto has been here long time.
What a talented grump! Refreshing, actually. I was working at Avatar when she was doing a record with Al Schmidt. It was in the late spring of ‘96, I think. He had those duel-concentric Tannoys up on the bridge. It was a great vibe in there. She has always been mesmerizing.
Gees US! What a warmup. Let’s now get loose and tell it from ‘deep in the heart of me.’ Roll it lady... ‘for the sake of wanting you... stop before I begin.’ WISDOM reinterpreted by a joy in life. Earned her chops and let’s it roll out through her entire being. WITNESS another miracle of sharing the best one has to offer. Thx so much for the upload! Stunningly good stuff here.
First comment which I have not removed in first instance to afraid about people reaction. The Diana is so proud, I can not wait the time when the modestly get comprehend with power in my brain, my soul, my heart, my life. my me my me mine mine :) my is miner than yours :) Not every one knows your history. THX Diana.
