DIANA KRALL IN CONCERT
Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Diana Krall grew up on Vancouver Island in the western part of Canada and began studying the piano when she was four years old. By the time she was 15, she was playing jazz in local restaurants and bars.
Ms. Krall was still a teenager when she was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. After two years in Boston she moved to Los Angeles, where she first me her Jazz influences, including John Clayton, pianist/singer Jimmy Rowles, and Ray Brown, the legendary bassist who served as her musical mentor (and played on Only Trust Your Heart). Ms. Krall had lived in Los Angeles for three years when she then moved to Toronto, and it was a Canadian label that gave her a chance to record for the first time. In 1993, the Montreal-based Justin Time Records released her debut album, Stepping Out. In 1994, she signed with GRP and recorded Only Trust Your Heart, which featured Brown on bass and Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone and marked the beginning of her association with Tommy LiPuma (who has worked with everyone from Barbra Streisand to George Benson).
Diana Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date, her albums have garnered five Grammy® Awards, 10 Juno® Awards and have also earned nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums. Krall's unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable and beloved artists of our time.

Absolutely fabulous. Diana's sultry voice bathes the listener with warmth. As always she was surrounded with masterful musicians. She still knows how to stroke those ivories. Diana and company are not to be missed if you appreciate real music as it was meant to be played.
Great band but not what i was paying for. If it had been advertised as the Diana Krall band backed up by Diana, i sure would not have paid $150 a ticket. I paid to see Diana Krall not her band. I've seen her twice before and loved both shows. Was very disappointed and will not be going to see her again. Felt like i was misled in purchasing tickets. I understand the band is a huge part of it and they were awesome but again i paid to see her not her backing up the band.
Way too many solos by guitar, drums, fiddle hardly any singing by Dianna Krall
Diana Krall and her Band played very well together. Infact, Diana had individvual Players accompany her as Solo Acts all through the Concert. This is an Awesome idea, and allowed each Muscian to shine in their own Right.
Started 15 minutes late then must have introduced each member of the band at least 6-8 times. Yes the band was good but we knew after the first time announcing them who they were. She played a total of 1.5 hours alot of which she was not playing or singing. Not a lot of her memorable hits. For over $200.00 I would buy the CD's next time. Which by the way were $25.00 each when most stars sell at $20.00
Dianna Krall was great, but to much of the show was given over to solo fiddle or guitar, which I did not pay to see or hear.
Diana Krall and her band did a fantastic job. We loved the songs , the singing and the band.
Diana Krall is an amazing artist, I just wish we had heard more of her sing. The concert was more about her band and their musical interludes than her. She has a large amount of music and I wish we had heard more of her work.
We've seen Diana a number of times but tonight she was at her best. Fantastic show Diana!!!
My first time to see Diana and her group in person. All that I expected - her talent was on display, her mix with her backup was great.
Was the worst concert I've been to. There was to many solos from the band and not enough entertainment for whom we paid to hear...Diana Krall not drum solos and guitar and base solos! The stage lighting guy must have fell asleep (it was not appropriate to the set up) just a terrible overall concert.
Love the venue, great seats from anywhere. Sounds was amazing. Fabulous acoustics. Beautiful
Third Diana concert experience. Fabulous piano technique. Wonderful ensemble work. “Turn Up The Quiet” a very welcome return to form. But please Diana, way too many solo swaps and fawningly repetitive credits. The keyboard has 88 notes, and you sing just 8 of them. So be it! We love your voice. Work the set pieces. We love the ensemble work. Save the solos for one number?
My wife and I love jazz and Diana Krall. The arrangement with full orchestra was well done. However, the concert was part of a fundraising gala and was very short so with very high ticket prices was not really worth it. We were disappointed; we were expecting a full concert but got only half-a-concert.
My wife and I absolutely enjoyed seeing Diana Krall and company! They all played fantastically! It was a very warm and intimate event despite the size.
Sultry voice, amazing Oscar Peterson influenced piano playing. She was accompanied by her own superb musicians and the NAC Orchestra. Great performance, could have listened to this music all night. The real deal!!!
Always a pleasure to see Diana play, and loved the vintage Wurlitzer 200A, she used!
An amazing performance both by Diana Krall and her accompanying quintet. They are amazing musicians who clearly love to play music.
Great concert. Dianna was amazing. She played a selection of new and old.
Amazing talent, couple that with quaint lighting and set design, and you have a Diana Krall concert. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would definitely go back. Thank you, Diana Krall and co. as well as the NAC for a terrific night!
