From This Moment On

Description

From This Moment On is an 11-song collection that captures
the Canadian-born sensation in full swing, in great company, and at the top of
her game. It could also be called her strongest, most cohesive release to
date. Krall–for the few still unknowing–is the 41-year old sensation whose
cool, heavy-lidded vocals and strikingly sensitive piano-playing has helped
her transcend barriers of genre to become a popular artist of the first order
who has carved herself a permanent position at the top of the jazz charts. In
songs, mood, and delivery, From This Moment On reveals Krall’s personal ardor
for that golden era of song-making, when Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and
(especially) Nat “King” Cole were in their prime. It’s musical territory that
Krall has often explored, but this album was certainly not a case of simply
repeating past formulas: Krall’s A-team of support–producer Tommy LiPuma,
engineer Al Schmitt, and arranger/bandleader John Clayton–were on hand to
ensure that inspiration was kept on an edge, unhindered by the studio
environment. More Diana Krall All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole
Trio Live in Paris Love Scenes The Girl in the Other Room Christmas Songs
Stepping Out This album appears in the footsteps of 2004’s The Girl
in the Other Room but doesn’t sound like a follow-up. Whereas The Girl saw the
pianist-singer abandon the Great American Songbook for more personal pastures,
From This Moment On sees her working out on standards done in traditional
arrangements. Although the tracks here are by the likes of Cole Porter, Jimmy
Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn, and the Gershwins, Krall sounds more at ease than
ever before; perhaps digging deep inside on The Girl loosened her up. Backed
by the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra on seven tracks, Krall sings off the
big band with ease. On the title track, she keeps up with a galloping bass and
explosive brass arrangements and even ventures into scatting toward the end of
the song. Her voice has also acquired a wonderfully worn texture in the past
few years, and it works wonders on the ballads (just listen to “Isn’t This a
Lovely Day” and “Little Girl Blue” for instance). When standards are done like
this, there’s just nothing like ’em. –Elisabeth Vincentelli

Artist “This album coincides with a happier time in my life. I think it’s very
obvious in the music. It reflects how I’m feeling now, the joy that I have in
my marriage and family, and hopefully in the future.” See more
