Diana Krall: The Perfect Private Valentine’s Day Concert

  
  
  
  

There hasn’t been a more impressive woman to the world of Jazz over the last twenty two years than Diana Krall.  Her husky yet sensual contralto voice is the current epitome of her genre.  Her approach with either Bossa Nova or Traditional Vocal Lounge is very captivating and with such hits as “My Love” and “Frim Fram Sauce” her place in music history is secure.

On Valentine’s Day I suggest that everyone in the Washington DC area take some special time with that special someone and sit back and listen to music that fits the mood you seek for the evening.    Yes, I am leaning very heavily to Diana and her live concert in Rio is a fantastic way to enjoy a romantic evening.  This day should be done doing something special and having Mrs. Elvis Costello to perform live for you in your domicile on a high definition sixty-inch stage, is priceless.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Stand up for Diana Krall! On NPR this morning Paul Simon was profiling a New Orleans drummer and said the following: "Powell has also toured with jazz vocalist Diana Krall and jazz musicians John Scofield and Marcus Roberts. ". So Diana is not a pianist/composer extraordinaire, not even a musician, but just another girl singing? I suggest that her fans go to NPR.org and comment on today's Weekend Edition with Paul Simon. This kind of ignorance is getting old. Women have a hard enough time breaking into music as instrumentalists, and now even in the less threatening role of vocalist they are not musicians!? Tell that to Ella. Duh
