The Sunday Musical Offering - Diana Krall: Live in Paris

I am a real novice when it comes to jazz music. I can't tell the difference between Mississippi Fred McDowell and Fletcher Henderson or John Coltrane. With a son who looks to be on the verge of a musical career in this particular art form, which is a pleasure and honor to be a part of, I think it is time to become more acqauinted with this distinctly American musical genre. 

Diana Krall is a Canadian jazz pianist and singer, known for her contralto vocals. She has sold more than 6 million albums in the US and over 15 million worldwide. On December 11, 2009, Billboard magazine named her the second Jazz artist of the 2000–09 decade, establishing her as one of the best-selling artists of her time. She is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums. To date, she has won two Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards.

I simply love to listen to her sing which she does in this clip to perfection. Recorded a couple of years ago, this is from a live concert given in Paris, France. Krall will sing in Columbus, Ohio on April 24th this spring. Hope I can catch that performance. Enjoy this outstanding entertainer and musician.
