Krall and company play consummate hosts for banquet of jazzy love songs at Edmonton's Winspear

recent celebrations with "so much cake" - Diana Krall

‘Tis the season for socializing, relaxing, imbibing and maybe reflecting a little (but not too much). When you spend the evening with Diana Krall and company you’ll get all that, delivered with the utmost musical expertise, even if your host, the jazz singer and pianist, sometimes seems preoccupied with whether everyone’s glass is full.

Thursday night’s jazzy buffet at the Winspear for a near-sellout crowd of almost 1,800 offered consummate music making from Krall and her exquisite quartet over a single 100-minute set of cocktails that only briefly made the room spin unpredictably in an exciting fashion. We got a hefty splash of swing, some sultry ballads, a pinch of bossa nova, some rootsy melancholy, and finally, a tidbit of holiday confection.

There was no chance of feeling overstuffed on these 15-tunes because Krall follows her recipes carefully. You could argue she’s stingy with the notes on those oh so spare ballads, but more generous adding the right seasoning for swing, somehow finding the right pacing to broach Berlin and Bacharach, Porter and Jobim, Waits and Dylan.

Indeed I Do made a quick, forgettable warm-up tune with everyone getting their minute to make sure instruments were adjusted correctly but they hardly seemed to need it. Fiddler Stuart Duncan, guitarist Anthony Wilson, bassist Robert Hurst and drummer Karriem Riggins sounded superb from the first bar. Then it was time for Love, or rather, L-O-V-E, a song that thrives on space and Krall relished spreading it out, dangling a syllable here or repeating a chord there in a masterful slow build.

There would be “a lot of songs about love” she told us before launching into Isn’t It Romantic, another standard from her latest album Turn Up The Quiet. The opening verse was sung with just a delicate guitar backing before the tune got a subtlety satisfying uplift from Hurst’s bass and Riggins’ brushes. Cole Porter’s Night And Day was another showcase for Krall’s smoky, low-key balladry, almost whispered at points until she upped the volume to emphasize a syllable or two.

Blue Skies offered a nod to Thelonious Monk who re-invented it as In Walked Bud, but the next real highlight was Sunny Side Of The Street, set to feature Duncan’s fiddle and Wilson’s guitar, and when they upped the ante to play off each other it was the first time some real spontaneity seeped out.

But that was nothing compared to the evening’s centerpiece. She’s not the only jazz artist to seize upon Tom Waits’ Temptation for a little drama but Krall’s combo, bathed in red light for what felt like 15 minutes, used the number to open up in unexpected ways from its opening off-kilter groove.

Wilson was the instigator, taking up his electric guitar to find something naughty. Then Duncan knocked and picked his fiddle to passionate heights, finally strumming it like a ukulele. Krall was focused on the words off and on but found her own all-too-brief darker moment of pianistic abstraction before the drummer hit a soft, spare solo groove and got the audience to clap. They hung in well too as he played with them, almost fading out altogether before coming back, and the singer’s final lyrical taunt underlined that we’d been somewhere.

Antonio Carlos Jobim’s Quiet Nights was almost soothing after that, another display of the singer’s sultry side before it faded out and East Of The Sun took things back to swing. Krall was openly grasping for ideas before she launched into The Look Of Love, but this arrangement flirted too much with uptempo swing. Just You, Just Me signaled the wind up, reminding us that Duncan calls himself a fiddler (not a violinist) with a solo that could have come from a country swing tune.

Ovation rituals over, the band returned with four encores but before that, there was the only real chat of the show from the Grammy and Juno winning artist, still too shy for her own comfort.

Ms. Krall maintains she’s never felt so relaxed these days and by the end I actually believed her. She joked about how the last few days had been packed with celebrating, her twin sons’ birthday the day before, her wedding anniversary the day before that, family get togethers and “so much cake”. And she painted an amusing picture of what it felt like at home at Christmas to be the pianist on call for family singalongs, thanking the appreciative audience for paying to come out for this night of songs.

She played two Dylan songs. Hinting at country with Wallflowers, and Spanish flavours on This Dream Of You, but they felt a tad hurried. Or was it was just the brash contrast of Gershwin’s ‘S Wonderful that followed? Finally Krall turned the volume down to something quieter to close, going solo for the nostalgic reverie of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

I’ve been to more memorable holiday get togethers, but the music was never this polished.

Concert review: Diana Krall gave her all Saturday night at the NAC

Reviewed Saturday night

From sultry and swinging to goofy and giggling to heartfelt and moving, Diana Krall gave her all at the National Arts Centre Saturday night during her two-hour concert.

While the concert drew substantially on songs from from Krall’s latest record, the award-winning and easy-on-the-ears Turn Up The Quiet, the all-Canadian but international jazz star presented a wider swath of music and emotions to the crowd that packed Southam Hall for the second of Krall’s two nights in Ottawa.


Here’s the set list for the show:


‘Deed I Do

L-O-V-E

Christmas Time is Here/Isn’t It Romantic

Night and Day

Blue Skies

Temptation

On The Sunny Side of the Street

A Case of You/River

Moonglow

I Don’t Know Enough About You

Just You, Just Me

Encore:

The Look of Love

S’Wonderful/East of the Sun

The Dream of You

Departure Bay

Compared to the recorded versions, the performances in Ottawa opened up considerably with extended solos, satisfying music fans who came for instrumental thrills and not just Krall’s smooth but compelling singing.

In particular, every time that guitarist Anthony Wilson, one of four ace American musicians in Krall’s touring band, stepped forward, he reliably contributed something dazzling, whether it was a gorgeous introduction or an improvised solo filled with ornate but wonderfully developed melodies.

Wilson also played a trickster’s role in the night’s least scripted moment. Introducing the tuneIsn’t It Romantic by himself, Wilson played Christmas Time Is Here, the beloved Vince Guaraldi-penned classic from A Charlie Brown Christmas, so elegantly that Krall asked him to prolong his efforts. But the clever segue into Isn’t It Romantic was such that it left Krall momentarily and disarmingly at sea. “How does the song go, I forget?” she cracked. “Is that the right key?” A few bars later, she had fully recovered, casting a dreamy spell on the slow song.

Listeners who came to hear in-the-tradition, swinging jazz were well-served with sturdy, well-explored versions of Deed I Do, L-O-V-E, East Of The Sun, Blue Skies, On The Sunny Side of the Street, I Don’t Know Enough About You.

For jazz aficionados, there were cues from Krall that for all her millions of albums sold to crossover fans, she was still one of them. She enjoyed slipping in wry quotes of other songs in her piano solos, from a Charlie Parker blues head to Ding Dong Merrily On High. Her arrangement ofBlue Skies liberally cited jazz piano icon Thelonious Monk’s In Walked Bud, with which it shares a chord progression. While announcing, Krall gave a shout out to a photo of Count Basie that’s backstage at the NAC.

Jazz-wise, the big test of a night, given its tempo alone, was a light-speed rendition of Just You, Just Me. Bassist Robert Hurst cruised through a wily, walking solo. Violinist Stuart Duncan, who soloed a little more sparingly, pulled out the stops on that tune, which was one of his two star turns.

The other came in the band’s epic run through Tom Waits’ Temptation, which also featured an enthralling Wilson solo on solid-body guitar and a powerful solo by drummer Karriem Riggins, during which his bandmates encouraged the audience to spur him on with some well-placed handclaps.

Of course, Krall was not to be overshadowed by her massively talented bandmates. In the middle of her concert, her solo medley of Joni Mitchell’s A Case Of You and River was riveting. It was clear that Krall was digging deep artistically, finding new and personal ways to sing and play those pieces for which the bar is very, very high.

She was just as strong at the end of the night, when the generous encore (which had begun with a lightly funkified version of The Look Of Love) finished with the one-two punch of Bob Dylan’s The Dream of You and Krall’s own composition Departure Bay, an autobiographical ode that nods poignantly to the part of Vancouver Island where she is from and to the life Krall led before she became a global celebrity.

For all the restaurants and dinner parties that have used Krall’s albums as background music, and after a long set with much that was breezy, upbeat and entertaining, the concert’s last two songs made clear that Krall’s a formidable artist too.

DIANA KRALL TURNS UP THE QUIET AT THE NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE

The legendary Canadian jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall made a stop in Ottawa on her Turn up the Quiet 2017-18 world tour. Her new album, of the same name, celebrates jazz and the great american songbook and this tour is providing fans with the opportunity to sing along to some of her sultry versions of classics such as L-O-V-E and Isn’t it Romantic.

The almost sold out Southam Hall was electric last night. Krall’s brand of entertainment seemed particularly fitting for such a grand venue in our nation’s capital city and as soon as the lights dimmed you could have heard a pin drop. This audience was mature and seemed genuinely appreciative of the opportunity to take in a such an anticipated performance.

Ten minutes after the announced show time, Krall’s band walked on stage and picked up their instruments and the anticipation built until Krall herself sauntered into the spotlight in a gorgeous glittery floor length gown. Her dress, her quiet demeanor, the set, and the overall atmosphere was sophisticated and moving.

Once took her place at the piano we were immediately reminded of why this Nanaimo B.C. native is a multi Grammy and Juno award winning artist and the only artist to have eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz albums chart. Not just a pretty face, Krall and her talented musical entourage thoroughly entertained her fans for the next two hours alternating between solo interludes, toe tapping covers, and new material from the album.

She seemed a bit outside of her comfort zone in between songs while speaking to the audience about her experiences at the National Arts Centre and being surrounded by photos of the great artists who have graced that stage. It was apparent that she preferred performing to talking and was more able to convey her emotions through her music.

Krall’s Turn up the Quiet tour continues with one more night at the National Arts Centre before heading to the west coast. Be sure to catch her in Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver if you can still find a ticket.

Article: "Diana Krall @ Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Montreal . 29th November 2017 ( www.montrealrocks.ca)

Diana Krall @ Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Montreal – 29th November 2017

Canadian jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall stopped by Place Des Arts this evening for the first of two almost-sold out shows at the stunning Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier. The multi-Grammy & Juno Award-winning vocalist is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums and she continues to draw healthy crowds wherever she plays. Tonight’s concert will clearly demonstrate why she’s such an admired musician and vocalist.

As the lights go down inside the theatre around ten minutes after the advertised start time of 8pm, four musicians find their spots onstage in the shadows before a single spotlight welcomes Diana Krall onto the stage. She pauses to greet her audience and quickly takes her place at her piano, where she’ll remain for the next 2 hours. She’s accompanied onstage by some of the most talented people I’ve ever witnessed on one stage at the same time, and each musician is given plenty of room to showcase their talents throughout the evening’s proceedings, with her cultured guitarist, Anthony Wilson, getting the first extended solo during opener ‘Deed I Do.

This tour is named Turn Up The Quiet, the name of Krall’s latest release, so it’s no surprise to hear a few numbers from that album tonight. L-O-V-E is the first up, with its breezy saunter and another outing for Wilson’s guitar skills. Introducing her version of Blue Skies she says “This is about love” before adding, “That’s what we’re doing here, right?”. Indeed, there’s little lyrically that diverts from that everlasting theme. Her cover of Tom Waits’ Temptation is simply gorgeous, and probably the first song that I heard Krall cover. Tonight it sounds sublime, with bassist Robert Hurst particularly shining on this reworked and elongated interpretation. Violinist Stuart Duncan also grabs his time in the limelight, turning his instrument around like a guitar and plucking a solo before returning to his bow. I’ve never witnessed a violinist so creative and it’s a joy to behold.

Almost every song is accompanied by a unique backdrop but otherwise the set remains fairly constant. Krall pays regular homage to her idols. Joni Mitchell’s A Case Of You sounds like it was written just for her, especially with the Canada references, and as she sings “If you want me I’ll be in the bar” it’s a more subdued moment where Krall’s appeal becomes apparent. That voice. Her natural ability behind the piano. And a knack for choosing songs that resonate. It’s hard to think of any artist who seems so perfectly fit for the role. The only time she seems out of her comfort zone is when she attempts to fill between-song time with a little banter. It’s mostly limited to “Merci beaucoup” or “That was a song by…”, and when she does get more conversational, it often stalls as she looks at her bandmates to save her.

“This is a song by Peggy Lee” she says by way of introducing “I Don’t Know Enough About You”. “I never got the chance to hear her sing it in person”. Anthony Wilson is once again given space to show his skills, followed by the rest of the musicians, with drummer Karriem Riggins receiving a huge cheer of appreciation from the audience.

“It’s very emotional for me being in Montreal” claims Krall. “It’s very dear to me”. She tells us that she’s thinking about planning a family vacation to the city during Jazzfest. It’s difficult to imagine her and her family blending in without being noticed by the Jazzfest crowds. Particularly when her husband happens to be a certain Elvis Costello.

There’s a real treat for us when she returns for her first encore as she unfurls a haunting rendition of Bob Dylan’s This Dream of You. It’s a true highlight of tonight’ set. East of the Sun (and West of the Moon) follows before proceedings finally conclude with her sultry version of Sway, the song made famous by Dean Martin over 60 years ago, which is accompanied by a vintage dance clip of George Raft and Carole Lombard dancing.

There’s no denying the talent on stage tonight. It was a real treat just to be in a room with these gifted musicians. All that was lacking was a little more showmanship.

Diana Krall plays her second show at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier on Thursday night, November 30th.

Diana Krall amène sa tournée Turn Up the Quiet au Québec

Publié le 30 novembre 2017 par Leigh-Anne Pinos | Mise à jour : 30 novembre 2017 01:21

Diana Krall s’est arrêtée à la salle Wilfrid-Pelletier de la Place des Arts de Montréal les 29 et 30 novembre dernier, dans le cadre de sa tournée mondiale Turn Up The Quiet.

La chanteuse et pianiste était accompagnée de quatre musiciens (basse, batterie, guitare et violon) pour présenter des extraits de son nouvel album Turn Up The Quiet, sur lequel elle interprète entre autres les chansons Sunny Side Of The Street, Night and Day et L-O-V-E, crées par de grands artistes, tels que Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Peggy Lee et Nat King Cole.

Durant le spectacle, elle donne beaucoup de place aux musiciens qui l’accompagnent, lesquels ont livrés plusieurs solos dans les chansons et chacun a brillé à son tour.

S’adressant à quelques reprises en français au public, sa famille et ses amis présents dans la salle, Diana Krall semblait très contente d’être de retour à Montréal.

L’artiste poursuit sa tournée au Canada et aux États-Unis jusqu’en février prochain.
