Diane Krall Ready to Return with "Quiet Nights"
Using Brazil as a musical point of reference, award-winning pianist and singer Diana Krall’s twelfth album is not suggesting a night out; she means to stay in. “I’m not coy single girl singing ‘Peel Me A Grape.’ I love that song but I don’t love it for me any more,” Krall, 43, said from her Vancouver, British Columbia home in an interview with the Associated Press. “I feel more womanly, I guess, and I think this record is a love letter but very sensual, more on the erotic side. It’s definitely late night.” She’s not kidding. From her renewed version of “Where or When,” to her soul-wrenching rendition of “You’re My Thrill,” the songs that make up Quiet Nights are disarming in their intimacy. “Quiet Nights” is due for release on March 31st. The album include ballads, three recordings of songs by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim, and standards such as “Walk On By” by Burt Bacharach. “It was just the greatest recording experience I’ve had to date,” said Krall, who was inspired to make the record following a trip to Brazil last year. In addition to finishing “Quiet Nights,” Krall is producing a new Barbra Streisand record that is slated to be completed in January and released sometime in 2009. Krall intends to tour North America in April following the release of “Quiet Nights.” For more information you can visit her website, dianakrall.com. Courtesy:Smooth Jazz Network
Paul Hardcastle is The Man
The 2008 year-end edition of Billboard Magazine has officially named Paul Hardcastle as “Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year.” The recognition came as an honor to Hardcastle, who thanked the Smooth Jazz radio community for playing his music. “Wow! What an honor,” he said, “There are some really great artists out there at the moment and to be voted Artist of the year is fantastic. I did pick up best UK Smooth Jazz artist back in 1999, but this is even better.” Along with being the Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year, Hardcastle is also a nationally syndicated radio host on the Smooth Jazz Network, heard on more than 25 radio stations across the United States. While Hardcastle has obviously made his mark with Billboard, you can tune in to the Smooth Jazz Network over the weekend of December 27th & 28th and on New Year’s Eve to see if Paul’s hits “Marimba” and “Lucky Star” made an impression on the Smooth Jazz Top 20 Countdown.
