Diana Krall
Meet the artist
A Canadian jazz vocalist and pianist who gained popularity through his piano-driven singing style. He is well-known as an interpreter of standard songs. Her low, composed voice and crisp piano share a rhythmic sensibility.
Keyboard responses continue beneath the vocal line, creating the intimacy of a conversation. Small-group swing and richly accompanied ballads preserve the song's outline in different settings, while original material offers another personal perspective. Listening to the piano as well as the voice reveals agile improvisation beneath the music's relaxed surface.
Where to start listening
Follow the voice and piano separately, then together. Notice how the placement of a word and a keyboard response interact within the same song.
