Review: Originally released in 2016, now reissued All for You (A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio) by Diana Krall remains a timeless tribute to the legendary Nat King Cole Trio. In this album, Krall masterfully blends her piano and vocal talents, evoking the spirit of Cole without directly mimicking him. Standout tracks include the lively 'I'm an Errand Girl for Rhythm,' 'Frim Fram Sauce,' and 'Hit That Jive Jack,' where her playful energy shines. Russell Malone's guitar work adds a rich layer, particularly in his standout solos. Krall's interpretations of ballads like 'I'm Through With Love' and 'If I Had You' reveal an influence reminiscent of Shirley Horn, adding depth and emotion. Supported by bassist Paul Keller and joined by pianist Benny Green and percussionist Steve Kroon on select tracks, the album's sound is both consistent and intimate, perfectly suited to Krall's style. Without the orchestral embellishments of her later work, this album highlights her jazz roots. All for You stands as one of Krall's finest achievements and a proper tribute to an all time legend.
Review: Only Trust Your Heart, Diana Krall's second album and major label debut, is available on vinyl for the first time. Featuring legendary tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, along with bassists Ray Brown and Christian McBride, and drummer Lewis Nash, it includes timeless tracks like 'I Love Being Here With You', 'I've Got the World on a String', and 'Squeeze Me'. Mastered by Bernie Grundman and cut from the original analogue tapes, this release is a must-have for fans of Krall and classic jazz.
Review: The Acoustic Sounds Series by Verve/Universal Music Enterprises reissues some of the world's most historic and best jazz records. Among these standout releases is Diana Krall's fifth studio album, When I Look in Your Eyes, originally released on June 8, 1999, by Verve Records. This album broke new ground and earned her man y accolades and loyal fans. Krall's artistry shines as she moves beyond the standard piano trio, incorporating Johnny Mandel's graceful orchestrations.

Produced by Grammy-winner Tommy LiPuma, with some tracks co-produced by LiPuma and Mandel, and recorded by Al Schmitt, When I Look in Your Eyes is a shinning example to Krall's growth as a consummate jazz artist. This reissue offers an audiophile-grade experience of this celebrated album.
