Diana Krall never disappoints - I love this CD as much as those in the past. And, I am looking forward to hearing her concert here in Buffalo on Feb. 27.

I liked it. It is a daring move - choosing obscure songs that only true shellac-stack afficianados treasure - for it takes away a any comfort and conceit you may have as a listener. The new treatments she gives most of the songs breathes the 21st century into them and they are almost a new jazz form.

Gutsy, well produced, original. If you want the same old Krall, this most recent embrace of roots jazz may be jarring. But she is growing as an artist, and the results are downright exotic.

I don't know, I think this is proof of her ability to hold to the classics of Jazz(it doesn't get more classic than the 20s). It's not her best album, but I am a big fan of it. Like she says of her title track, it's darker. Also this music is a bit more raw.

I'm a die hard fan, but this latest album is a disappointment. All of the previous albums are true keepers, but not this one, except for maybe the Hot cover :)

Perhaps I misheard Ms Krall's remarks, but did she say she met Bix Beiderbecke ? If so, she must be much older than I thought. Beiderbecke died in 1931.

This s a fun more contemporary tune of the late 20's. I personally really enjoy Diana's enormous talent in her
Jazz standards and other classics . I have several of her albums and heard her perform
in Santa Barbara California.

Nice stuff and done well; demonstrates her talent. But . . . this is not her forte - get back to the jazz standards and classics like Fly Me to the Moon, etc.
