Diana Krall, the only jazz singer to have had eight albums top the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, in concert at the BPAC Concert Hall.
Two Grammy Awards, ten Juno Awards, nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums: Diana Krall is one of the most recognisable musicians of our time, whose style crosses the boundaries of a single genre. The New York Times hears in her “a voice both cool and languid, with a sophisticated command of rhythm”.
Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, she began the piano at four and was playing jazz locally by fifteen. Her 1999 album When I Look in Your Eyes topped the Billboard jazz chart for 52 weeks and won two Grammys; Love Is Here to Stay, recorded with Tony Bennett and the Bill Charlap Trio, is a tribute to the songs of George and Ira Gershwin.
The announced set list draws on songs by Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, Burt Bacharach and Fats Waller, alongside songs Krall wrote with Elvis Costello.
Children taller than 1.2 m are admitted with a ticket; children 1.2 m and under are not admitted. Guests are asked to dress appropriately: vests, shorts and slippers are not allowed, and intoxicated guests are refused entry. Some seats have a restricted view of the stage.
