One might think that intensity in the music is primarily caused by ecstatic phrasing - or so it would have us believe the ladies Carey and Houston. And then comes a like Diana Krall, therefore, purifies familiar jazz standards and reduce them to what they are: beautiful timeless melodies. And suddenly you realize how truly intensity arises: its simplicity. The artist does not try to bend the cover versions to something new, and yet she gives them their own personal touches with their beautiful cool yet soulful voice and the repossessed arrangements. No sound too much, hardly ornaments. But they only treat partly a luxurious strings carpet, which some might think is sweet, but what he is not, because the rest of the arrangements are extremely purist. What you could find fault is that here and there an oblique tone did quite well, and that might be a bit Variantion have the CD made a total of more exciting in tempo. Still, are the most important for whom voice and music, which can should try this CD - who expected free jazz is here rather wrong.
