Free Music Notes for All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio
Free Music Review: appearances can be deceiving
Hit: 5 Stars
I received this album as a Xmas present. Having never heard of Diana Krall, I took one look at the picture of her on the cover and thought, "I am NOT going to like this." She has that sugary, Debbie Gibson look. But luckily, her voice sounds nothing like she looks. She has a smoky, sultry voice that fills every cranny of the room when you have her on the stereo. And on top of that, as a pianist she has that rare ability to find the nuances in the music that others miss. As a musician myself, I am incredibly jealous.
Now, I just have to get some of her other albums, so that I can have more than one in my 5-disc player at all times. Diana Krall is easily now one of my top 3 female vocalists of all times.

Hit: 5 Stars
I have been Nat King Cole fan for a long time, so when I saw this CD I thought I would give it a try. Boy am I glad that I did! The range of tunes that Diana covers is fantastic, and the way they are arranged is unforgettable. (no pun intended) I love the upbeat tunes like "Frim Fram Sauce" and "I'm an errand girl for rythm" as well as the soft soulful "A blossom fell". I can't beleive that there was a time when all she did was play the piano. Please find the person that conviced her to start singing and shake their hand for me. If you find a track on this CD you don't like, let me know, because I sure didn't. I would recommend this CD to anyone from 19 to 90.Free Music Review: Terrific, smooth jazz from a talented artist

How good would Diana Krall be if she knew how good she was? Her performances, esp. her sometimes shy, disconnected live performances, can sometimes be criticized for displaying no dynamic range. Every now and then it wouldn't hurt to use what sounds like a powerful voice and sing out a little, and show some power, hit a high note. But in any event, no one is better than Krall today at what she does. A dynamic pianist, a sexy, well-in-control singer who caresses the lyric. Of all her albums, this is by far the best, with the best jazzy numbers. The upbeat is in full force, beginning with Nat King Cole's Errand Boy for Rhythym. One of my favorite CDs even long after its debut.Free Music Review: Excellent!
Hit: 5 Stars
To be honest, I'm only 13, and I absolutely love this CD. I actually "borrowed" it from my dad, but don't tell him. From the upbeat tempos of Hit That Jive Jack to the soulful vocals of Boulevard of Broken Dreams, this CD has got it all. But my personal favorite is Baby Baby All the Time. Ms. Krall's voice is hypnotic and soulful, and completes the range of songs perfectly. I also really enjoy Deed I Do, If I Had You, Frim Fram Sauce, Errand Girl for Rhythym, Hit that Jive Jack, A Blossom Fell, and well, you get the idea. This is a wonderful piece of work, and I promise you that you will not be wasting your money on it. Happy listening!Free Music Review: It doesn't get any better...
Hit: 5 Stars
Take it from this owner of every Diana Krall recording that this CD has her at a singing and playing summit. Husky and seductive, her voice gently evokes the proper mood on each entry. Highlights are bravado performances on Boulevard of Broken Dreams, You're Looking at Me, I'm Through with Love and Some Call It Madness. One play is all that is needed to convince the listener that this is truly an outstanding artist who has selected material she believes in. There's not a single flaw in interpretation, style or delivery from beginning to end.
Trust the reviews on this one. I did and was rewarded with a 5 star treasure!
