Diana Krall just released a new double album available on vinyl only right now, I am going to try to pick up the 180g version locally.

Wondering if anyone has heard the new album yet? Comments?

I just seen that from an E mail from Music Direct.

From your subject heading, I thought you meant a Diana Krall doll.

CD will be available 10/2/12.

You can listen to the entire album here: http://beta.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2012/09/25/diana-krall-glad-rag-doll-album-stream/1590517/ to decide if you want to buy a copy.

Thanks Mike, I have been looking for a site with samples. I think you saved me $25, she kinda lost me this time around.

Elvis Costello is not worthy...

I second that motion.

I haven't heard her latest but I'm hoping for the best.   
I'm such a huge fan it pains me to say this... but Diana's music has gone down hill since she hooked up with Elvis.

I could not disagree (respectfully) with Jazzman53 enough. Her best album was Girl in the Other room. Many songs were co-wriiten with Elvis and wonderfully original and just great music.

I will say her most recent cover album art makes her look trashy??

I think that was her plan.

[Jazzman53]

Obviously she's still smokin' hot and trashy works for me 

[tomytoons]

The whole album. Listen.

Yeah she figured out (a long time ago) that her sex appeal will GREATLY help sell her music......

I rather like this one.

Funny, it cost me $25, I very much enjoyed it, LP's should be here tomorrow.

It's all relative.  Compared to Britney she looks like a Prom Queen.
 
Marketing (not necessarily her choice?) has made her what she is.  I think she has a great sense of lyric phrasing and timing, even if her voice is not technically the greatest, but it reminds me of what happened to the very good guitarist George Benson - the guitar disappeared and the focus was on white suits and vocals and no guitar.
 
Although she is no Bill Evans on piano, I would still like to see this Berkeley graduate who studied under some of the greatest jazz educators strut her stuff a little more on the piano.
 
BTW, although I am not an Elvis Costello fan, I did enjoy his hosting of one of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz shows (with guest Allen Toussaint), and Elvis is a fan of the jazz genre.

A comment from nathanm would be apropos at this juncture.
