Title: Rehash, save your money.
Review: Some of my favorite music is from Ms. Krall. This isn't it. These are, for the most part, simply cuts from her other albums, worked in about the same way. Adequate concert material, perhaps, but disappointing in a CD.If Krall fans were honest, they would have to admit that she is a jazz pianist first, with often great arrangements, but sadly lacking a voice. Her "speak-sing" is like Tony Bennent has become in his old age, or Sinatra at the end of his career.Still, at least instrumentally, she has a good feel for jazz which makes her worth a listen. Best on slow, melancholic ballads such as the haunting "A Case of You". Not enough of these on this album however. Again I came away wishing her albums were instrumental only.
Is the review positive or negative?
