Title: Her piano must be broken
Review: I really, really wanted to love this album, because Diana Krall is just so talented. But alas, I must agree with the folks who feel that she has abandoned her strengths. I agree very much with the fella below who discusses the "George-Bensonization" of Diana Krall. Diana Krall is a "musicians musician", or at least she was...but not on this album. If you loved her other albums because of their intimate vocals and fabulous piano playing, you will be disappointed with this effort. You should probably still buy it, but don't expect her old magic. This is an album of sophisticated background music, albeit excellent background music. I have all her CDs and this is her poorest effort. If you like jazz at all, buy any of her other recordings first. On the other hand, if you LOVE Celine Dion or Streisand, buy this one first and work your way backwards. By the way if you like Diana Krall, check out Julie London, you'll like her too.
