 essential Diana Krall April 28, 2009

I have to admit I read several extremely negative reviews on Ms. Krall's latest effort, "Quiet Nights", before making my purchase last week. Like many, I pretty much own everything she's ever done, and have never been disappointed. Was this going my first let down?? Those reviews sure had me worried.
If you an ardent fan, worry not, because Diana once again delivers. If you like a soothing female voice, singing well arranged numbers backed by magnificent strings, then you cannot go wrong with "Quiet Nights". Personally, I even prefer the return of the strings section vs. the brassier tone of her most recent efforts. I also like the fact Diana does quite a bit of silky piano work on each song.
Forget these reviews. "Quiet Nights" is a winner.
Absolutely Wonderful!!!! April 26, 2009

Diana Krall's voice is so delicious. Her choice of songs on this CD is outstanding as well as sexy and romantic. I continue to play it time and time again. The sounds make me feel so mellow and happy... In my opinion, her voice on this CD is unsurpassed!!!! I wish there were more songs because I can't seem to get enough. Worth every cent and more!!!!!!
Superb!...negative reviewers are missing the point. April 4, 2009

Okay, I've read the negative reviews of this excellent CD. I truly believe they are missing the point. It's called "Quiet Nights" people! Some reviewers say it makes them fall asleep or "I listened to it while driving to work & it is a snoozer". Well, if you are looking for a morning drive CD, then this isn't it. It doesn't swing & bop like some of the past Diana CD's because it wasn't meant to. Light a candle, grab your sweetheart & bask in the glow. It makes me love & appreciate my wife even more when I listen to this & think of her. This is a cd for lounging, relaxing & loving. Why would she "belt" out the vocals on romantic bossa nova classics? It should be a sultry whisper which it is & her voice conveys a sensual loving spirit like no other vocalist I've ever heard. Elvis Costello must be the luckiest guy on the planet! I'm sure Diana will make other CD's in the future that will really swing, but this one is a different flavor. Claus Ogerman's arrangements are very gentle & lush. The man is a legend...one of the finest arrangers that the world has ever known. I feel honored to have another of his works to enjoy. The singing is full of vulnerability & warmth. This cd is meant to chill folks! The songs, singing & arrangements are beyond beautiful, romantic & tender. If you aren't interested in an entire cd of laid back ballads, then this may not be your cup of tea. But for me, it'll be in constant rotation in my cd player. Close your eyes & let the warmth flow over you as it was meant to. If you listen with the right frame of mind, it can move you to tears. It puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it. Wonderful!

It's hard to go wrong with such a fine talent as Krall. And she hits the mark with this simultaneously seductive and somber collection. Producer Tommy LiPuma, a master at these kind of projects, surrounds Krall with just the right players and sound. This CD is worth it alone for hearing the still brilliant Claus Ogerman's orchestral arrangements. They inter play perfectly with Krall's masterful phrasing. Find a quiet time and get lost in the artistry that is brimming from this fine CD.

FAR too much music today that is hard and difficult to listen to. Here is a lush, warm, relaxing recording of some simply great songs. Want to calm down a little? Please try this. You will not be disappointed.
