I Love Being Here With...Diana! March 20, 2008
I love Diana Krall's scotch with honey voice and amazing piano playing. She really is the modern jazz chanteuse carrying on a great tradition trailblazed by Peggy Lee,Carmen McRae, Helen Forrest, Sarah Vaughan, Kitty Kallen, and Dinah Washington, etc. Anyone that does not absolutely love this performance is - well, crazy! From the smoking hot "I Love Being Here With You" opener to the gorgeous "Cry Me A River", Diana and her band are on fire. For the reviewer that complained about the performance filmed against a black background with black piano and Diana wearing black - I suggest buying eyeglasses. I have a 42" Samsung plasma tv and visuals were crystal clear so I have no idea what he was complaining about not being able to see thru all the black colors. I almost think this was recorded in hi-definition. Even though it was filmed on stage, the lighting with orchestra sitting behind the band reminded me of an intimate jazz club. The sound quality is excellent. The camera work was superb with some wonderful closeups of Diana's fingers caressing the keyboard during solos. I played this dvd for a friend that does not appreciate jazz and she loved it!
 Jazz singer goes mellow March 3, 2008
There aren't very many music concert DVDs available playing standards rather than rock and other contemporary music. The best part of this record are Krall's five backup musicians. They are excellent, especially Anthony Wilson on the guitar. Diane Krall's singing and piano are very good too, but the selection of songs was on the slow and draggy side. All in all, this is the best DVD of popular standards that we have ever found. Henry Haggland, Napa, CA
Diana Krall -You've won me! January 19, 2008
I am not really interested in jazz, but this DVD knocked my socks off.
Beautifully filmed and recorded, it reveals Ms Krall's great talents as both a vocalist and pianist. Her choice of tunes was appealing, with most of them being old favorites - but presented with silky smooth new arrangements.
The whole performance was enhanced by the caliber of her supporting group.
Great stuff!
'S WONDERFUL January 18, 2008
This DVD has not left my boyfriend's player since I bought it for him! We both adore it. Diana Krall is not only a beautiful pianist, but she also has a powerful, yet sexy, sultry voice to match. I could watch this over and over!
Great stuff January 7, 2008
This is an amazing live concert - I didn't realize before how good a pianist that Diana Krall is - very tasty licks - the group of jazz all stars with her are great and the orchestra really brings nice support to the concert.
I think my favorite is Bacharach's "The Look of Love" and this is performed live and included in a music video in the extras.
Looks and sounds pristine (any chance for a Blu-ray version for us?)
You will love this DVD - everyone that came over during the holidays commented how much they liked this concert!
