Diana Krall 官方网站
Stepping Out, Diana Krall's historic debut recording for Justin Time Records, is an unpretentious, timeless recording that showcases Krall's strong musical choices, excellent taste and unbridled energy. Produced in Los Angeles by label founder Jim West, it's unadulterated jazz from start to finish, with the young, enthusiastic Diana expertly supported by bassist John Clayton and drummer Jeff Hamilton. Notable also is the appearance of Diana's first original composition, "Jimmie," named for her father and Jimmie Rowles, both huge influences. An exciting debut that amply displays the artist's future promise, it's also one that fares well with each new listening. From Ray Brown's liner notes: I met Diana Krall in her hometown of Nanaimo, in Canada. She was then a teenage piano wiz. She called me some years ago to ask whom she should study with and I recommended either Jimmie Rowles or Hank Jones. Jimmie Rowles was available and it has paid off handsomely. Ray Brown comments on several tracks from Stepping Out: Body And Soul - This track is going to get Diana a bunch of fans. I find that there is a lot of soul inside this lady. This is a track with excellent piano accompaniment. Straighten Up And Fly Right - An old Nat Cole hit. Here Diana displays some good, hard-driving, funky piano playing. Clayton and Hamilton lay down a perfect rhythm track here. Listen to the way she pronounces 'straighten up'. It must be some vintage Canadian brogue sneaking in! All in all, this is an excellent first album and I can see lots of success for this lady down the road.
