I just got my eflyer from Music Direct, and they're accepting preorders for -"DIANA KRALL/THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM". I guess on this one, DK writes many of the songs.

Lookin' forward to this one.

Thank Goodness she didn't change her name to Diana Costello

She does a cover of one of Costello's songs on this album, I've heard. Can't remember which one.

Hey Rob, how 'bout the hirez issue?

Rob Babcock · « **Reply #7 on:** 27 Apr 2004, 02:44 am »

I'm not sure if it's planned for day & date release with the CD or not.

I've heard a cut off this ("Temptation") and it was great. I guess she married for money and not for looks

Am I the only one in the world that thinks she doesn't sound good?

Rob Babcock · « **Reply #10 on:** 27 Apr 2004, 04:40 am »

No, she has as many bashers as fans. I think everyone does once they reach the top of their profession.

Note: I don't mean to imply that if you don't like her you're a basher of her. I simply mean that in music there are almost no such thing as universal agreement.

Yeah, I seem to be the only one I know who dislikes Norah Jones too.

All I know is those two ladies would be great bread for a "Robwhich"!

Audio Asylum is full of Norah-detractors. And many who like her but who feel the level of praise is a bit extreme: posts like 'Why does Norah get nine Grammys, while Karrin Allyson is ignored?'

As you might expect, Krall is making the rounds promoting the new CD--

Actually there are vocalists that I like better but she receives the most publicity. My favorite is probably Tierney Sutton and her recordings on Telarc have great musicianship and excellent sound. I also like Jane Monheit and Karin Allyson.

Well, BB has it for $10, but for now I've decided to pass- pretty much all of her more recent albums are out on DVD-A or SACD, and I really don't wanna buy it twice. I'll try to hold out for the DVD-A version.

I usally buy the CD first to see if I really like it before forking out the extra money for the SACD or DVD-A version. But for Diana Krall, I don't mind spending the extra money on her ...

Agreed there are singers with better vocal ranges. What makes Krall unique IMHO, is her ability as a jazz musician. Listen to "Deed I Do" from the "Live in Paris" album. The girl can SWING!

Elvis Costello fans might like "The Elvis Costello Songbook" by Bonnie Brett. Her cover of "B Movie" is spot on. Go to http://www.jazzpromo.com/jazzfm/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=474&page=1
