Title: It Takes A Lot to Please Some People
Review: Diana Krall had the good artistic sense to hire Claus Ogerman to arrange the songs on this "album" (what a beautifully antiquated term). These songs capitalize on the sultry side of her singing. She makes Jane Monheit sound like a girlscout (which she probably is). These songs carry you away into another realm, an aural landscape to enter and stroll around in. Totally fetching, completely irresistible. The purists who quibble with this or that minor (to my mind) detail are probably the same ones who never "got" Antonio Carlos Jobim. They are lost souls. Leave them to their Purgatory. Leave me to my Paradise.
