"When I Look In Your Eyes"

Years after the '90s, the decade will be remembered for the rise of pianist-vocalist Diana Krall. Simply put, this British Columbian-born artist is one of the most engaging musicians to emerge from the heap of scat-happy singers high on pyrotechnics, but short on poetry. Stamped with the imprimatur of the Nat King Cole trio and blessed by her apprenticeship with the late West Coast piano giant Jimmy Rowles. Krall's voice simply sings songs the way they're supposed to be sung .This CD finds Krall in familiar company with compatriots Russell Malone, bassist John Clayton, drummers Lewis Nash and Jeff Hamilton, and vibraphonist Larry Bunker.Diana and crew take Irving Berlin's chestnut "Let's Face the Music and Dance" and the Sinatra-signatured "I've Got You Under My Skin" south to Brazil via a sexy bossa nova. --Eugene Holley Jr.


Customer review from Amazon

Reviewer: goldcoastreviews from Florida
All of a sudden, it seems, Diana Krall is everywhere. On T.V. in her own lyrical special, being touted by many jazz musicians, espically pianists, in magazines and union material, and now opening for Tony Bennett. And for good reason--this woman has the looks, the voice, the style, the musicianship at the ivories that takes us back to the 40's a la Lena Horne.Smooth as silk with that just right jazz edge, Ms. Krall delivers that 'lil bit of smoky, sensual sound with 13 tracks on "When I Look In Your Eyes". Plucky strings from Johnny Mandel snap, crackle and pop on "I'll String Along With You", "Pick Yourslef Up" and "Do It Again". A sassy Latin twist has been added to "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Let's Face The Music and Dance". The sticks and brushes on Lewis Nash and Jeff Hamilton's drum work are perfect with her voice, especially on one of my fav's "Popsicle Toes".Just look at the cover photo shot--a glimmering talent to swing, sway, and simply sexy jazz your night away to.
