Legend of world jazz and Grammy Award-winning Canadian jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall presents her new album “Quiet Nights” in Russia. On Monday night she will give a concert in Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall.
“It seems to me, it is a very womanly album – when you lie in a bed next to your beloved one you whisper these words in his ear,” organizers of the shows quote Krall as saying. She admitted that this album was inspired by her love to her spouse. “This my love letter to my husband – an intimate romantic album.”
The latest album is in a bossa nova style. As the singer’s producer Tommy LiPuma says: “Diana sings three classical Brazilian melodies, four jazz standards processed in this style and three ballads. So it turns out into an album of ten songs, seven of which are pure bossa nova.”
Diana Krall’s contribution to world music was greatly appreciated in her country, the US and abroad. In 2000, her album “When I Look in Your Eyes” won the Grammy for the Best Vocal Jazz Record and became the first jazz CD nominated for Album of the Year in 25 years.
Krall was nominated several times for a list of prestigious domestic awards and won two Grammys in 2000 and 2003. She managed not only to win over the public, but also gain influence among the professional musical community – especially eminent jazzmen. Among the admirers of her talent is ex-president of the United States Bill Clinton, who sent Krall a personal congratulation on the reception of her Grammy for her concert record “Live in Paris” in 2003.
