Album Notes Personnel: Diana Krall (vocals, piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Alan Broadbent (conductor); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Ron Mounsey (keyboards); John Pisano (acoustic guitar); Anthony Wilson (guitar); John Clayton, Christian McBride (bass); Jeff Hamilton, Lewis Nash (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion); The Orchestra Symphonique European. Recorded live at the Paris Olympia, Paris, France on November 29-30 & December 1-2, 2001 and Avatar Studios, New York, New York. LIVE IN PARIS won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album. 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." | Find errors in the product description?

And let's face it; it's all good! Good to hear the French enjoy her music as much as we North Americans do. Review ID: 10000000001731739 Was this review helpful? Report this review 2 of 3 people found this review helpful. Bought this CD when it first came out after I read that she had a live version of "A Case of You" I saw Ms. Krall in San Francisco this past May where she performed this song and I tell you that this song was so moving that you could literally hear a pin drop. I have played this CD from Track 1 through Track 12 at least 3 times since I bought it last night, then brought it to work to burn on my CD here so I could listen to it. If that doesn't tell you it's worth buying I don't know what does. As I say in all of my music reviews everyone has their own "ear" for music. I happen to LOVE Diana's music and unlike several other reviewers on here... I do "get" her and really enjoy her husky voice. Seeing her live was such a pleasure it really made me appreciate this fine Songstress. I come from a family of entertainers I grew up with a brother that was always on stage and I got to see/hear some quality performances as I grew up so when I say her CD WOWED me, it did. I have at least 5 of Ms. Krall's recordings and I can't say that I liked this one anymore than I liked her last but I can say that if you have her previous CD's you won't be dissapointed in purchasing this one as well.
