Diana
Jean Krall OC OBC(born November 16, 1964) is a Canadian jazz pianist and
singer, known for her contralto vocals. She has sold more than 6 million albums
in the US and over 15 million albums worldwide. On December 11, 2009, Billboard
magazine named her the second Jazz Artist of the Decade (2000–09), establishing
her as one of the best-selling artists of her time.
Krall is
the only jazz singer to have had eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard
Jazz Albums. To date, she has won three Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards. She has also earned nine gold,
three platinum, and seven multi-platinum albums.
In 1993,
Krall released her first album, Stepping Out, which she recorded with John
Clayton and Jeff Hamilton. It caught the attention of producer Tommy LiPuma,
who produced her second album, Only Trust Your Heart(1995).
Her third
album, All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio(1996), was nominated
for a Grammy and continued for 70 weeks in the Billboard jazz charts. Love
Scenes(1997) quickly became a hit record with the trio of Krall, Russell Malone(guitar)
and Christian McBride (bass).
In August
2000, Krall paired with Tony Bennett for a 20-city tour. They paired again for
a song on the TV series Spectacle: Elvis Costello with...
Orchestral
arrangements by Johnny Mandel provided the background for the album When I Look
In Your Eyes(1999). The band mix was kept, following arrangements on The Look
of Love(2001) created by Claus Ogerman; this record achieved platinum status
and reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200. The title track from the album, a
cover of the Casino Royale standard popularized in the late 1960s by Dusty
Springfield and Sérgio Mendes, reached number 22 on the adult contemporary
chart.
In September 2001, Krall began a world tour. Her
concert at the Paris Olympia was recorded and released as her first live
record, Diana Krall – Live in Paris. The album included covers of Billy
Joel's "Just The Way You Are" (a hit on U.S. smooth jazz radio) and Joni
Mitchell's "A Case Of You".
The 2001
movie "The Score" (US and Germany), starring Robert De Niro and
Marlon Brando, featured a recording of Krall's entitled: "I'll Make It Up
As I Go." This song accompanies the film's ending credits (chapter 12) and
was composed by fellow Canadian, David Foster.
After
marrying Costello, Krall worked with him as a lyricist and began to compose her
own songs, resulting in the álbum The Girl in the Other Room. The album, released in April
2004, quickly rose to the top five in the United Kingdom and made the
Australian top 40 album charts.
She also
joined Ray Charles on his Genius Loves Company album in 2004 for the song
"You Don't Know Me."
Live at
The Paramount Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia.
In late
May 2007, Krall was featured in a Lexus ad campaign. That year she also sang
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" with piano accompaniment by pianist Hank
Jones. Quiet Nights was released on March 31, 2009.
Krall
produced Barbra Streisand's album Love Is the Answer, released on September 29,
2009.
In 2011, Krall went on a private retreat to Sri Lanka. In
September 2012, she accompanied Paul McCartney at Capitol Studios in a live
performance of his album Kisses on the Bottom, which was shown live on the
internet. On September 13, 2012, Krall performed "Fly Me to the Moon"
at astronaut Neil Armstrong's memorial service in Washington, D.C.
Glad Rag
Doll was released on October 2, 2012. Wallflower is her 12th studio album,
released on February 3, 2015 by Verve Records. The album was produced by David
Foster. Among the composers Krall and Foster tackled were the Eagles(two
songs), Elton John and Bernie Taupin("Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word"),
10cc("I'm Not in Love"), Neil Finn ("Don't Dream It's Over"),
and Gilbert O'Sullivan ("Alone Again (Naturally)"). The title track
is from Bob Dylan's "Bootleg Series." And Paul McCartney gave her his
blessing to record a previously unreleased original he'd written for his own
jazz-flavored Kisses on the Bottom.
On May 5,
2017, Krall released her thirteenth album, Turn Up the Quiet, through
Verve Records. The album was produced by Krall and Tommy LiPuma. The album won
a Juno Award as vocal jazz album of the year in 2018.
On
September 14, 2018, a joint album between Krall and Tony Bennett, Love Is Here
to Stay, was released. The album features the song "Fascinating Rhythm,"
originally recorded by Bennett in 1949, which earned him a Guinness World
Record for the "longest time between the release of an original recording
and a re-recording of the same single by the same artist" — 68 years and
342 days.
I've got you under my skin
I have got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
And I've got you under my skin
I have tried so, not to give in
I've said to myself this affair it never would go so
well
But why should I try to resist when I know so well
That I've got you under my skin
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice, that comes in the night
and repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
For each time I do, just the thought of you makes me
stop before I begin
Because I've got you under my skin.
