Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"????

this is my favorite Krall recording so far. this one is back to her small combo Jazz roots. there are a few cuts with a string section.....but it sounds natural and in the same acoustic. the band is tight, Krall's piano playing is very good and outstanding in places. the recording is very natural and the soundstage is believable with an excellent sense of presence. Krall swings and is in very good voice.

the highlight for me is Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You"......which is a solo with Diana and her piano.....i got this disc yesterday afternoon and i have already played this cut 4 times......very, very special.

this cd will be in my 'heavy rotation' for awhile......a must buy.

i have not seen/heard the dvd of this performance but have read that it is also very good.

Ghastly stuff from a ghastly singer. I heard it this afternoon and the contrast with Joni Mitchell's powers throws the vapidness of Krall's delivery into harsh relief.

Viridian, your remarks are among the most thruthful and accurate that I have ever heard uttered on AudiogoN (or elsewhere). Diana Krall is sh*t.

I liked the DVD, play it all the time :^)

I came to this thread hoping to find out something about a new recording that I've not yet heard. Instead I read reviews from a couple of people that seem bent on insulting anyone that likes this music. If you have anything objective to say about this recording, then us know why you didn't like it. I think that the sales of her past CD's tell the tale. She's the biggest thing in jazz today, and if you can't handle that, don't post in forums that are above your intellect.
