I saw that program when it aired and it blew me away!!!!!
Před 2 lety+3
The first time I heard about Diana Krall was back in 2001 (the year I've met my girlfriend, my future wife). There was a radio station, where music like this was played in the late night. I was driving my car back to home from my girlfriend and this song was on. And I knew the very moment that I found something fantastic. 4 days ago we were at the VeszpremFest and after more than 20 years we heard Diana play in live. Life is good.
Diana pours the smokiness into this song... turning it into a 6:21 Flirt ! Blossom Dearie sings it a little faster, clearly a sassy lady who knows what she wants. Both are different, their voices as unique as their personalities... and Both are truly wonderful ! :-)
Diana was with me during very early mornings in my office when I started my mechanical design career. 5am-8am I would practice using 3D modeling software. Lights off desk lamp on. PC on, software launched, Diana, Brian Culbertson, Richard Elliot, Chris Botti and many others kept me company in the mid 90s.
Diana, this performance was my introduction to you. I fell madly in love. You are a silky, smooth, sexy, sweet vocal seductress. Love what you do. Truly hypnotic.
From 1999 to ~2006, I attended at least 5 or 6 performances of Diana Krall in New York City, including the 2002 Tanglewood Jazz Festival in Lenox MA. She was devoted to the American Songbook back then and sang it to perfection. In 2003 she married Elvis Costello who pushed her to "be herself" and sing her own songs and she quickly tanked. To the point that at a concert in Radio City, I watched numerous people shout to her to play the old songs she was known for and they paid to see, and she turned around from her piano and said "these are my new songs and this is what we are playing tonight. Many got up and left. I have no patience for popsy tunes. I firmly believe that you can be a Jazz/Saloon singer or you can be Taylor Swift, you can't be both. So I also walked out. I still have all her CDs from that era but we broke up at that Radio City performance and it's never been the same.
I first loved Diana Krall for her piano, but now see that her singing is superb, a style her own, unmatched, and lovely!
Damn I love her music….. that’s music masterpiece at its finessssssst!!!!

We should not compare performers. Simply enjoy the different versions of the same song. Remember, liking or not liking a song is a personal thing.

B rilliant song, superbly peformed and though I've never been a goldigger, that gal has got the right idea!
I love this lady! Her style of Jazz, so smooth, elegant and uncomplicated. love it!!
uncomplicated is the word ;3
She is the best, love her.
No one and I mean no one sings peel me a grape like Dianna Krall. I just had to pour my drink in my lap to put the fire put. Whew!!!
this is the best version I've heard
Blossom Dearie sings it better. Diana Krall hasn't much character in her voice.
I adore Blossom but Diana does this song more justice.
In my humble opinion.
sleeplessingc i poured a drink in my lap and set myself on fire!
Dianna awesome and Blossom Dearie gorgeous!
Listened to this after recording some of the same songs...porter and such ..didn't know her ..still one of my favorites....
Hot stuff. Nice delivery and musical accompaniment. #kudos

Loved it by Blossom Dearie. Now I love it by Diana.

Agree !

I remember exactly where I was. Driving my car, stopped at a light in Manhattan, this came on the radio and I had to pull over.
This is just the best !!!!!
flawless
I’m not gay but I’d let her…bear hug me…..🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼❤️❤️❤️❤️
And Im not straight but I could peel my clothes off for her!!
"Peel Me a Grape"... This is fine...so very fine!...
Sultry, sexy with magic fingers… the best !

Interesting comment. I actually learned something
I wonder if Diana Krall's Dad knew Elvis was her real father. ; )
+NYC FoodPhoto maybe he knows now
Welcome to The Carlyle.....butter my cupcake.......:) .....this is how it is done.......:)
YUM
Sounds like Peggy Lee
To play music
A white woman with a BLACK WOMAN'S voice. 😍
Sorry Diana, Blossom Dearie owns this song
I prefer this version.
Yup. Diana Krall is meh.
Wrong! Diana is better!
She looks a bit like Joe Bonamassa in the thumbnail. They both have a way of draining the life out of great songs.
Total rip-off of Shirley Horns classic.
doesn't come anywhere near Blossom Dearie. krall is soooooo over rated.
Yup. Diana Krall sounds medicated. There's no pop or fizz or sass in her voice.
