Re: Ah, Jazz
I've heard the name, but not yet heard anything from him.
When you get into jazz like they do, though, it's pretty much all covers of old stuff. What grabs me about Diana, though, even more than that voice (shiver!) and her amazing piano-playing is the amazing touch and playfulness with which she handles her music. You can tell, just by listening, that she's purely enjoying herself and that she loves what she's doing with every fiber of her being.
That kind of stuff always gets me, big time.

Diana Krall is on my list, too. Do you like Kurt Elling? Similar styles does many of the same covers.
