About

This Dream Of You , produced in May 2020 by Ms. Krall, was mixed by Al Schmitt, who worked closely with the artist to achieve notable intimacy and immediacy with her voice in the final balance. The performances come from sessions in 2016 and 2017, on which Krall worked with her friend and longtime creative partner, Tommy LiPuma. Mr. LiPuma passed away in 2017 at the age of 80. The album features Krall in a quartet with long time colleagues, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton and Anthony Wilson on “Almost Like Being In Love” and “That’s All”, as well as a trio with Christian McBride and Russell Malone who play on “Autumn in New York” and “There’s No You.” The duos include a wonderful first take performance of “I Wished On The Moon” from Krall and bassist, John Clayton and two vocal cuts ––“More Than You Know” and “Don’t Smoke In Bed” with accompaniment by pianist, Alan Broadbent, who also provided the string orchestration for “But Beautiful” and string arrangement on “Autumn In New York.”The final session for this album took place at Capitol Studios with an ensemble featuring guitarist, Marc Ribot , the fiddle of Stuart Duncan and a rhythm section of Tony Garnier on bass and Karriem Riggins on drums. This line up played “Just You, Just Me,” Irving Berlin’s “How Deep Is The Ocean” and the Bob Dylan song, “This Dream Of You,” on which Randall Krall plays accordion. This Dream Of You is music for right now but it is also a “long playing record,” one that feels like a movie that you might share with someone because you know they’ll stay with it until the final reel. As Diana says, “If ‘But Beautiful’ is the overture, then ‘Singing In The Rain’ is the end title.”

October 2020

Fans of Diana Krall’s most recent solo album, her 2017 release Turn Up the Quiet, will be delighted to hear that the five-time Grammywinning jazz pianist and vocalist has returned to these sessions – the final recordings she made with her great friend, mentor and long-time producer, Tommy LiPuma – to mine material for this equally impressive followup.

December 2020

This is the Krall who sold millions of jazz records and introduced the Great American Songbook to a generation of nonjazz listeners. But she’s always advanced her interests outside of standards and traditional pop.
