(www.eloriente.net, México, 16 de marzo de 2015. Por: Carlos M. Huerta, Música @El_Oriente).- Vestida con su tradicional y elegante atuendo en negro, como si combinando su piel blanquísima se tratara de las teclas de su piano entrañable, Diana Krall concedió a inicios del mes pasado una entrevista a Guillermo Fesser de El País Semanal, a propósito de su reciente WallFlower.

En ella, la extraordinaria cantante le confesaba que no se consideraba el tipo de artista que desea mirar los rostros del público una vez que sale al escenario, sino que le gustaba en cambio la oscuridad, en la cual se puede usar la imaginación para transportarse a cualquier lugar. Y así sucede también con la radio, que “te permite apreciar emociones que no se transcriben al papel”.

En ese hilo de ideas, Dina Krall suelta una sugerencia magnífica: lo primero que hace al cada mañana es sintonizar la WBGO en la que no se pierde el programa de jazz de Michael Bourne. Y si Diana lo hace es porque debe ser bueno.

Así que nos dimos a la tarea de compartir contigo, amigo lector de ELORIENTE.NET, las coordenadas de este programa para que lo compartas con Krall y con todos los escuchas de Jazz 88.3FM de Nueva Jersey y del mundo entero.

En efecto, la WBGO Jazz 88.3FM fundada en los años setenta, nació como una estación pública, sin fines de lucro, independiente, que corona al Jazz como un arte fundamental para entender la historia cultural de Newark. Permanece adicionalmente en internet desde 1996 y forma de programar, administrar y relacionarse con la comunidad es única en el mundo. Por ejemplo, con el afán de preservar el jazz para las futuras generaciones tiene la serie Children´s Jazz Series, dedicada específicamenta para la gente joven.

Por su parte, en específico el programa de Michael Bourne se transmite desde 1984. Phd en Teatro por la Universidad de Indiana, Bourne se ha hecho acreedor delWillis Conover-Marian McPartland Award for Excellence in Jazz Broadcasting que otorga la Jazz Journalists Association.

Michael sostiene que está en la radio por suerte. Trabajaba en su doctorado, allá por el año 1972, cuando el programador habitual de la estación se fue de vacaciones y el director de la emisión le solicitó cubrir el show. Espacio que se ha cubierto ya por 40 años.

Es muy famosa, de hecho Krall también lo recuerda, el dicho de Bourne sobre la pregunta que le hizo un radioescucha cuando Michael cumplió los 65: “¿Ha pensado en el retiro?”, y el conductor respondió: “¿Porqué? ¡Si me pagan por escuchar canciones e ir a conciertos!. La vida que muchos quisiéramos tener.

Así que estas son las coordenadas para que también, cada día, como Diana Krall, puedas escuchar un programa de jazz que te emocione y te haga disfrutar de la cotidiana belleza de la música.

Article: Concert Review DIANA KRALL UB Center for the Arts, Amherst, New York Tuesday, March 10, 2015

Diana Krall @ UB Center for the Arts, Amherst, New York 

Tuesday, March 10, 2015

By: Gus Griesinger 

After cancelling her appearance at the Seneca Niagara Casino last fall, Diana Krall finally made her way back to the WNY area. Krall played the UB Center for the Arts almost exactly 2 years ago, and now she is back around in support of a compilation album titled “Wallflower.”

The jazz pianist appeared promptly at the 7:30pm show time. She was accompanied by Anthony Wilson on guitar, Karreim Riggins on drums, Dennis Crouch on bass, Patrick Warren on keyboards and “Mr. Everything” Stuart Duncan on fiddle, guitar, ukulele, bass, etc.

Krall spent the night behind her Steinway piano and a keyboard which she occasionally used to her left. There were real candles melting on stage, as well as, radio boxes from the early 19th century positioned on both sides of the stage. The backdrop also doubled as a projector that depicted old black and white video clips that looped differently to various songs. Krall basically let the music do the talking, yet she occasionally let her small talk lead into a few jokes. One was, "I just wanted to be a jazz pianist for a silent film, so in my city I tried to be, and I bet you're believing every word I say right now." This was met with a hearty chuckle from the audience.

Krall has a unique baritone to her voice, which makes her performances interesting and appealing. Her take on such covers as The Mamas and Papas "California Dreamin” or the Tom Waits classic “Temptation" were made to sound entirely her own. Some other highlights of the show included "On the Sunny Side Of The Street," and the opener, “We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye.” Krall also talked about how her set consisted of love songs and various seasonal related tunes as well. She then boasted about how she wrote a song about Niagara Falls called “You Know I Know Ev’rything’s Made for Love.” As the song was performed, she gleefully stated, “We have the best ukulele player to help us,” and Duncan then took spotlight, as he did throughout the set.

Overall it was a dynamic, intimate performance that I think the audience thoroughly enjoyed.

Diana Krall's new LP shows she's no 'Wallflower'

BY JANE STEVENSON, TORONTO SUN

FIRST POSTED: FRIDAY, MARCH 06, 2015 08:00 AM EST | UPDATED: SATURDAY, MARCH 07, 2015 08:00 AM EST

MONTREAL — Diana Krall is no Wallflower.

Yes, the Nanaimo, B.C.-born jazz singer’s 12th album is called that, after the Bob Dylan song — one of the dozen pop-rock tracks from the ’60s to ’80s she reinterprets on her latest LP.

But like the feisty Molly Shannon SNL character Sally O’Malley, Krall is no shrinking violet.

“I’m 50 and I kick and I stretch!” says the funny, friendly performer echoing the O’Malley catchphrase always delivered by Shannon in pulled-up red velour pants with a high kick.

Turns out Krall is a half-century old and proud of it.

“I still feel like 16 but my back feels like 50,” she jokes. “But, no, I feel good. I think I’m in really good shape. And I don’t agree with (the saying), ‘Well, it’s just a number.’ It’s a significant number, as my Doan’s little pills tell me,” Kralls says with a laugh. Doan’s is an over-the-counter medication used to treat chronic back pain.

“I don’t know. I’ve got two eight-year-old kids (twin boys Dexter and Frank) and a great husband (British singer-songwriter Elvis Costello) and tremendous support. I’m more comfortable with my feelings. I’m not as hard on myself. I’m more acknowledging of what I’ve accomplished.”

Krall’s half-century mark comes up because of the December death of her beloved father and a recent bout with pneumonia, which caused both the Wallflower release and tour to be postponed from last October to this winter (she doesn’t tour Canada extensively until May).

“I’m still dealing with (the pneumonia),” she said. “I have what’s called reactive airways — it’s just really difficult to get over. I’m doing better. I do think getting more active — swimming, singing — helps.

“The most difficult thing about it was all the things that happened between August and December, not only to me, but to my family because my father passed away. It’s been a very painful time.”

Krall said it was torture when she couldn’t turn to singing and playing as an outlet to express herself.

“To have not been able to do that physically for six months hasn’t helped because where do you put it? Where does it go? It goes into walking around with a Phillips screwdriver and fixing cupboard doors and stuff like that. I’m sure I drive people crazy.”

For now, she’s still working through her dad’s passing.

“I don’t believe there’s closure,” says Krall, whose eyes well up. “I do believe that there is a sense of feeling OK. I’m not through that yet. I feel Shiva (the Jewish mourning period) is very important and I need to sort of experience that time.”

The concept for Wallflower followed a much happier time playing at Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit — “It is insanely artistic and beautiful and loving!” she says — and Krall just wanted to sing in the studio.

“I have this picture of me and Neil. He’s got his arms wrapped around me and he’s laughing. He feels like my uncle or something,” she says.

“He was just so kind to me ... It’s the feeling of being a little kid and going, ‘Oh. My. God.’ And I came back from that experience and I had a meeting with (Wallflower’s producer) David (Foster) and we sat down ... and we started to talk. We talked and talked and talked for three hours and decided we wouldn’t do a jazz record. I wanted to do something different.”

It helped that both Krall and 16-time Grammy winner Foster were from the same area of Vancouver Island and both play piano, which Foster does on most of Wallflower.

“I don’t think people realize what a piano player David Foster is and how he played with Dave Brubeck. We’re both from Victoria, Nanaimo, and we just started to work. I won’t say there weren’t a few doors slammed. As Sarah McLachlan has said, ‘He has no edit button!’ But I kind of learned to (ignore that) ... I don’t move away from the piano very often and I was able to come in and just sing.”

Krall says she already knew the songs on Wallflower — everything from The Eagles’ Desperado to Elton John’s Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word — from her time as a fledgling 19-year-old piano player doing the circuit.

“I played a lot of gin joints and a lot of bars,” she says. “I drove in my crap Toyota Tercel to my piano gigs, smoking cigarettes in a Laura Ashley dress, listening to Cuts Like a Knife, pulling up to the country club and (saying) to the valet: ‘Piano player.’ And then I had to sneak out with the cheese tray and put it in my trunk so I had something to eat that night.”

Krall points to Dylan’s recent Sinatra album, Shadows in the Night, as THE way to do an album of covers, even though she hates that word.

“He sounds like he’s lived them,” she said. “And it shows other people that reimagining or interpreting other people’s music isn’t just a cover exercise. It’s something very deep ... I’m not an actor but I sing songs that I can find some experience in ... You just have to find your story in it.”

DIANA KRALL ON MOTHERHOOD

Diana Krall didn’t say if eight-year-old twin sons Dexter and Frank take musically after her and husband Elvis Costello just yet but apparently they do have a major funny bone courtesy of a certain Canadian funnyman.

“My kids are REALLY into Jim Carrey,” she says. “Every time we pull up to a parking space, they go, ‘Like a glove!’ It’s not great when they are talking out of their butts.”

But their taste also ranges to more sophisticated fare.

“We have a tradition,” says Krall. “Sunday night is Chaplin night. So we watch Charlie Chaplin every Sunday that we can. We all pile in bed and then they read the subtitles so when I go to school and the teacher says, ‘Did Dexter do his reading assignment? Did Frank do his reading assignment?’ I said, ‘Yes, they read subtitles! They read subtitles in a Charlie Chaplin film for an hour.’ And the teacher looks at me like (huh?). It’s reading!”

NOTABLE COVERS BY DIANA KRALL

Diana Krall’s Wallflower features the jazz pop singer-pianist covering pop-rock songs from the ‘60s to the ‘80s, but she has been a major interpreter of other people’s songs her entire career.

Here are five more notable modern tunes she’s covered over the years:

- Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell’s A Case of You was covered on Krall’s 2002 album Live in Paris.

- Billy Joel’s Just the Way You Are appeared on the Live in Paris LP as a bonus track.

- Husband Elvis Costello’s Almost Blue was covered on Krall’s 20004 disc, The Girl in the Other Room.

- Tom Waits’ The Heart of Saturday Night was covered on Krall’s 2007 collection, The Very Best of Diana Krall.

- Bob Dylan’s Simple Twist of Fate was covered by Krall on the 2012 charity fundraising album Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.
