This is totally brutal. Rhythm, chords, all exactly done with push pull feel. This woman is just amazing. Spriritually augmented to the Krall degree. Not have any more words, just pure enjoyment.
Diana Krall is on a class of her own as a singer. As a piano player he is in another galaxy. I remember my music teacher trying to explain to me about what "apoggiatura" was. To my humble knowledge which includes heaps of piano players, Diana Krall is the No. 1 master of apoggiatura, and swings as...
That's guitarist Dan Faehnle (Fan-lee). He was part of the Diana Krall quartet for three years and currently he’s the guitarist for ‘Pink Martini’ orchestra.
This is the most aggressive playing that I have heard from her. The percussive manner of playing reminds me of Duke Ellington.The ending reminds me of Count Basie. I simply love her vocal stylings. It is her own. There are flashes of earlier female singers. Accompanying oneself on the piano is not easy. Well done.
Just so gooood!! And, I love how she has all the other musicians solo, and then gives the audience there names. I think Diana Krall will I hope by playing music for a long time to come, but is already a legend in her own time. I've enjoyed her so much along with the players she brings with her...just can't say enough good about her. And, yes she is a great, looking, woman, but that is not what makes her music great. She has integrity and character, not just looks.
Sam Brinsom,so you think you need to be American before you can be considered to a Jazz musician? What about Oscar Peterson?He is Canadian and Michael Buble too. If you ain't got soul I don't care what part of the Planet you are from ! Dick Tynan Dublin Ireland 2o2o
Paul Ballenger You asked me 27 weeks ago if I know Diana Krall. No Paul I don't know her personally. I just saw your message tonight. Very sorry... I didn't intentionally ignore you. Peace
Realmente brillante en sus acordes, variación de ritmos, tonalidades y la interpretación del tema , mezclado con su apasionada voz, la lleva muy lejos en el escenario. De lo mejor hoy por hoy !!!
I love how she used the classic Count Basie ending, instead of the "A Train" ending, which of course is derived from this tune! Totally subverted my expectations.
Krall takes a legendary song and puts her signature to the piece. This is one of the best renditions of A-Train. Dave Brubeck, another jazz great, did a fantastic, out of this world version of A-Train in 1966.
Why be critical of someone who plays the piano as well as she does; appreciate her talents and enjoy the performance. Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan
beautiful...lindíssima...talentosa, magnífica cantante, com trejeitos labias do saudoso Elvis...até semelhante...pensei fosse filha...mas nao é...nota dez...
one of her best performance. Leave the band to play with you as they all are excellent players. Don't steal the Whole time and you will be a real jazzer.
Diana hangs in the groove like a swnging metronome. Ellington would have loved her. I still wonder how the hell a White, female Canadian could have ever acquired such a mastery of jazz piano and vocals. But I'm glad she did.
And you’re the orchestral leader 🎉 as Duke E was! The female counterpart to all male orchestra leaders we’ve all seen in the jazz business 😮! Ola Stockholm Sweden 😢!
LIEVE DIANA WAT IS DE EERST TREIN DIE JE KAN NEMEN OM MIJ TE ZEN DIE HET VOORJAAR MET ZICH MEE NEEMT EN DE ZON DIE ALTIJD SCHIJN ZAL DANK JE WEL SCHAT JE WOUTER JOANNES
very nice arrangement takes me back to 60's jazzz feeeeeel where i can just close my eyes and listen to jazzz and not want to open my eyes to maintain that picture and scenery that i have vivdly in my mind oh how much i love music soo much
Amazing! Of course this version is great, and she plays great jazz piano, but, if you want to hear the A train that Diana is influenced by in this version, give a listen to the great Betty Roche's version of A Train when she was knocking em dead with the 1950 Ellington Orchestra. Just type in Betty Roche A Train
LOL! Who doesn't know this was a Strayhorn composition. Though some argue the lyrics were in fact written by Joya Merrill NOT Strayhorn. Would not surprise me as men often took credit for a woman's work back then.
