Claus Ogerman, arranger – Track: Quiet Nights
The romantic album combines Brazilian and west coast jazz styles and features three recordings of songs by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim.
“I feel this album’s very womanly – like you’re lying next to your lover in bed whispering this in their ear.” – Diana Krall
Some music is intended to paint a romantic scene – a candlelit dinner, a walk along a moonlit beach. Quiet Nights – Diana Krall’s twelfth album – ain’t about that. Using Brazil as a musical point of reference, the award-winning pianist and singer is not suggesting a night out; she means to stay in. From Krall’s refreshing version of “Where or When,” to an utterly soul-stirring rendition of “You’re My Thrill,” the 10 songs on Quiet Nights are disarming in their intimacy. Even those already familiar with the breathy vocals and rhythmic lilt in Krall’s music – and now there are millions – will be taken aback by just how far the music pushes, unabashedly, into the realm of sweet surrender.
‘Quiet Nights’ is Krall’s 12th album and her first full length studio release since 2006’s ‘From This Moment On.’
Accompanied by her quartet and orchestra, Diana turns her sensual vocals and consummate piano skills to “The Boy from Ipanema”, “Walk On By”, and other classic tunes.
