ORIGINAL: Aswad I'm amazed nobody mentioned Diana Krall yet... that does still qualify as Jazz these days, right? Diana Krall - Live In Paris - Fly Me To The Moon Diana Krall - Live In Paris - East Of The Sun A lot of traditionals/standards in her material, but she certainly puts her own spin on it. Interested parties are encouraged to also check out Let's Fall In Love, Devil May Care and- obviously- Cry Me A River (personally, I prefer the version on Swans' World of Skin album, but that's definitely not jazz). I would point out some from a Dune-related LP (the one with a B side that has some Bowie acid on it), but I can't seem to find the band info. Anyone? Health, al-Aswad. Aswad, oh yeah, Diana Krall is great too! She and Elvis Costello are married with kids for a while now. One thing I (don't) like about her singing is that she either "holds back" or doesn't inhale enough air to get certain notes out strongly enough. I wonder if she has asthma or another breathing problem? Sometimes at the end she sounds weak and strained. Vida, oh yeah, I was going to put up "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
