Live At The Montreal Jazz Festival DVD
On June 29, 2004 GRAMMY-award winning super star vocalist and pianist Diana Krall, gave a career defining performance to over 15,000 fans on opening night of the Montreal Jazz Festival's
25th Anniversary celebration.
Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival features Diana Krall on vocals and piano along with her band of Anthony Wilson on guitar, Peter Erskine on drums, and Robert Hurst on bass. Most of the songs performed here are culled from Krall’s recent Verve release, The Girl in the Other Room.
The album, which has been certified Gold in the US and double Platinum in Krall’s native Canada, marked a change in that it showcased for the first time Krall’s skills as a songwriter. Many of the album’s songs were penned by Krall and her husband, Elvis Costello. Some of the Krall/Costello compositions featured on Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival are “Abandoned Masquerade,” “Departure Bay,” and “Narrow Daylight.” The DVD also features Krall’s concert opener, the original instrumental “Sometimes I Just Freak Out,” a song which is not available on the US version of her latest CD.
Krall also interpreted songs from a wide range of artists for The Girl in the Other Room, including Tom Waits (“Temptation”), Mose Allison (“Stop This World”), and Joni Mitchell (“Black Crow”). Live performances of all of these can be seen on the Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival DVD.
Krall revisits some classic favorites from her earlier Verve and Impulse! recordings on this new DVD as well. During this performance, she included “All or Nothing at All” from her album Love Scenes and “East of the Sun (West of the Moon)” and “Devil May Care” from When I Look in Your Eyes.
Special bonus features on the Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival DVD include the music video for “Narrow Daylight,” a photo gallery, artist biography and discography.
