Diana Krall – Fly Me To The Moon (Quartet Performances, Las Vegas)

This song, often called the standard among jazz standards, is one that many beginner jazz vocalists take on.

So many artists have recorded it that there are plenty of reference tracks to learn from, which is really helpful.

The lyrics are relatively simple and free of difficult words, making it a good choice even for those not familiar with English.

If you get the feel of jazz swing with this tune, you’ll be able to sing other songs stylishly as well.

Diana Krall – The Look Of Love

This song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David in 1967 as the theme for the film Casino Royale, and the cover by Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66 became a big hit the following year, in 1968.

Diana Krall’s version served as the title track of her 2001 album, and compared to Sérgio Mendes’s version, it has a more relaxed, languid feel.

Her lower-register vocals further enhance the laid-back mood.

Diana Krall – Narrow Daylight

Diana Krall is one of Canada’s leading jazz singers.

She has a highly distinctive voice—her low register is incredibly cool and exudes sensuality.

One of her underrated gems is ‘Narrow Daylight.

‘ She often performs it live as a piano-and-vocal piece, and not only is her singing superb, but the piano is of exceptionally high quality as well.

The live version has a different vibe, so be sure to check out both.

It’s a popular song by Irving Berlin, released in 1926.

Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep

This song was performed in a film released in 1954 and was written by Irving Berlin.

It’s based on his personal experience: when he was struggling with insomnia, a doctor suggested he try counting the things that made him happy if he couldn’t sleep, and that advice became the inspiration.

It isn’t very well known, but it can be considered one of the great songs.

In the film, Rosemary Clooney sings it.

Diana Krall has great taste for choosing to feature this song, too.

Diana Krall – Este seu Olhar

Diana Krall, a jazz pianist and singer from Canada, is singing in Portuguese in this live performance—perhaps because it took place in Brazil.

Maybe for that reason, the audience is harmonizing along as well.

It’s a famous bossa nova ballad that everyone knows.

It seems that “Frim Fram Sauce” means something like a mysterious sauce, but the song’s lyrics are full of many delicious-sounding dishes! The rendition by the master Nat King Cole is famous, but the performance by the Canadian jazz pianist Diana Krall is wonderful!
