Free Music Notes for Quiet Nights

Free Music Review: five stars just couldn't ever be enough--BRAVO, DIANA KRALL !!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Diana Krall has always been one of my very favorite songbirds; and her latest CD proves she's still got what it takes. Diana can take a song and make it exceptionally beautiful; and that's precisely what she does on this album with moving renditions of ballads that highlight that elegant bossa nova style of music. The quality of the sound is excellent; and that artwork is very well done indeed!

The album starts with Diana singing "Where or When" by Rodgers and Hart. "Where or When" gets the royal treatment from Diana who sings this in a most romantic bossa nova way. When Amazon says that she gives a "sensual" performance they sure are right! "Where or When" gets a fine bossa nova arrangement and that music works wonders for this ballad. The music fits in perfectly with Diana's vocals; but wisely the musicians never steal the spotlight away from Diana. Diana's squarely front and center--right where she belongs! In addition, "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face" from My Fair Lady never sounded better than it does on this album; Diana makes this shine brighter than silver and gold combined! Again, the musical arrangement makes good use of the brass and percussion to enhance the natural beauty of this ballad. I especially enjoy that remarkably famous bossa nova song by Stan Getz and Joćo Gilberto entitled "The Boy From Ipanema." It's a major highlight of this album. The original title was "The Girl From Ipanema" but many female singers have performed this just changing the gender of the person they sing about. Diana's rendition about the man she wants in her life stuns me with its beauty. I love it!

"Walk On By," a song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, is a highlight of this album; Diana sings this with panache and I'm very impressed. "Walk On By" is one of those songs that's tough to forget; and when Diana and the musicians perform this the end result is nothing short of heavenly. "Este Seu Olhar" is another Jobim bossa nova tune that Diana does to perfection; and "So Nice" is so well done that I could never tire of hearing this track. How's about that piano arrangement?

"Quiet Nights," the title track for this CD, gets a sensitive treatment from the great Diana Krall; and "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry" is nothing short of sublime in Diana Krall's capable hands. "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" is a gorgeous bonus track that shows yet again just how well Diana Krall can cover a pop song; "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" is one of my favorite songs on this CD. The album also ends strong with Diana Krall performing Cole Porter's "Everytime We Say Goodbye." "Everytime We Say Goodbye" charms me with its beauty and that's grand.

Diana Krall tackles these songs and she never falters. I'm impressed, to say the least. I highly recommend this CD for Diana's fans; and people who like bossa nova will want this album, too. Indeed, Diana does such a good job on this album that it also makes a great place to start for people just discovering the incredible talent of Diana Krall.
