Recorded at the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris in November 2001, this is Diana Krall's first live album. Backed by her quicksilver combo of bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and guitarist John Pisano (on some tracks), Krall's jazz heritage comes through loud and clear on this program of standards, ballads, and bossa novas. On Peggy Lee's "I Love Being Here with You," Bob Dorough's "Devil May Care," and Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," Krall's snappy, postbop piano playing shows off her debt to Nat "King" Cole and Jimmy Rowles. Her cool contralto vocals are illuminated by the Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, under the direction of Alan Broadbent, as well as the London Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Claus Ogerman. Krall's deep take on Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" is a great choice for an encore, and the CD concludes with Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" (a studio track from a film called The Guru), with tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and bassist Christian McBride. This collection only hints at what Diana Krall has to offer in the future.--Eugene Holley Jr.

Customer Reviews:

Diana Krall at her best.......2007-06-20

Hoppin', jazzy live performance -- my favorite Diana Krall CD.

you know that.......2007-04-12

shush shuh shuh shuh sound that new cordoroy pants make? Well that's what Krall sounds like wiht her sibilant "s". Is she singing through false teeth?

Very Enjoyable and that's all that matters..........2007-02-24

For those reviewers trying to compare Diana Krall to people like Sarah Vaughn... forget it!!! She's not Vladamir Horowitz or the Pope either!!! To give her a low rating based on that is absurd.

This is a very very good Jazz band and Diana Krall swings. She plays well and she does an incredible amount with the voice that the maker gave here. The album is very enjoyable to me and it's a good place to start if you want to hear Diana Krall.

Is she great? That question is so subjective and who cares anyway. One reviewer suggested that calling her great was disrespectful to the great Jazz singers. Popular singers like Diana bring attention to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn and Sinatra etc... People start with Diana and move backward from there... 5 stars from this reviewer!!!

Not a fan of live albums, but this one's energy shines through.......2007-01-19

Diana Krall is amazing no matter whether she's live or in studio recording. This is her first live album and is based on a lot of jazz standards. What I like is this has the energy of a live album, but someone has engineered most of the audience sussurus out.

terrific band.......2007-01-19

I do enjoy Ms. Krall's singing but for me it's the incredible interplay between the musicians (including Krall's piano) the merits the 5 stars. I acually have the DVD which I highly recommend. Anthony Wilson not only plays brillantly but gets the best guitar tone of any other live recording I've heard. Jeff Hamilton and John Clayton are tight and telepathic - pure genuis in rhythm. Both Claus Ogerman and Allan Broadbent offer great arrangements and work the Orchestra deftly. And Diana sings. The production is perfect. This could not be any better.

Heart of a Bad Machine.......2000-11-29

After repeated listenings, I cannot find one bad song on this CD! I would have to say this is the boys' best work yet. If you haven't heard Gluecifer, pick up this release for a good, solid introduction. From start to finish, the band smacks you in the head with a rock-hard wallop of pure, driving rawk and roll that seems a queer mix reminiscent of Kiss, the MC5 and true 70s punk rock in every respect. This five man band from Oslo includes lead vocalist Biff Malibu (gotta love that handle!)who always sounds like he's just smoked 5 cartons of Marlboros washed down with the dregs from an Alabama still. This adds a fierceness and grittiness to the songs - unlike in previous releases where his vocals seemed obliterated by over-production. Gluecifer always delivers great backup vocals as well, which lend to the 70s Rock God sound they've managed to perfect. If you don't believe me, check out these songs first: BossHeaded, Go Away Man, Silver Wings, and Gimme Solid Gold. And if you hate pretentious goth types, you'll get a kick out of Lord of the Dusk. Check it out.

Limited Value.......2000-08-11

The first three songs on this CD are great. "Go Away Man" especially, prompted repeated listenings. However, after the first three songs, it loses my interest. This band is great live but uneven on records.

classic incognito.......2007-05-11

I felt this was a good album, I really enjoyed the horn section and what can you say about Maysa???!!! The price for the cd was a bit much ,but I'm an incognito fanatic and can't seem to get enough of their material. this collection is for the avid fan...

Capture the moment.......2001-03-28

Like Whitney say's One moment in time....she must have Incognito on her mind!

This cd is a great moment captured on one great cd! I seen incognito live in nyc, and popping the cd on brings back momments i wish I can re-live.....If you ready for a jammed pack...get up and dance..cry and shake you bom bom...this is the cd for you!

Got dancing shoes and a kleenex?

A rousing set worth every penny!.......2000-10-22

If you think Incognito is just a studio band think again. This live offering captures a tight, energetic, perfectly balanced band having a great time in Japan. Incognito fans will appreciate the ample song list loaded with favorites, but fear not; this isn't a boring greatest hits concert. There is a jam-session feel on several of the cuts and Maysa really shines with her own versions of Roots and Everday. The whole thing is mixed beautifully just as you'd expect from Bluey. Love it!

Strong performance..........2000-07-06

Bluey is bouncing on this one. If you are an incognito fan, you will want to get this CD.. Does a neat run little off of "Colibr" and the Ronnie Laws tune "Always there". Nice CD to drive with, just keep your eyes on the road while you're passing up the other cars on the freeway.. This is an import only? Hopefully there will be some more live CDs like this one in the future. The record lables may have to catch up first perhaps, they are a bit slow to creative music like this.

Better than a simple Greatest Hits CD!!.......1999-08-12

I hate "greatest hits" compilations, especially when I already own the original CDs. Live CDs, on the other hand, are something I look forward to with great anticipation. "Incognito: Tokyo Live" does not disappoint in the least.

I thouroughly love every track. An added bonus is the inclusion of a great rendition of one of my top-3 Incognito songs, "Always There". Excellent! The arrangements depart from the originals in unusual, creative, and exciting ways. The only thing that would have made this CD better for me would be if it was a double-CD. Ah well, next time.

Not Bad on Radio.......2006-08-06

Played the heck out of this CD while doing radio myself. Actually got sick of listening to it: the station I worked for was in receivership (loser owner embezzled monies) and in order to keep the frequency (101.7) we played this CD and only this CD in loop for 4 days...I agree with the previous poster: French Kiss is the best song on this CD. I used to get a lot of calls on it. But after we were back on the air, we lost our listeners: they tired of the limbo state of our station...and Blue Knights..

Catchy and rhythmic.......2000-10-23

These tracks do have awfully "tight" arrangements. You can actually dance to many of them. My favorite is #11, "Blue Night", perhaps the smoothest piece of jazz I've ever heard. You can't go to wrong with this jazz cd. I was so impressed with this cd that I bought their two other releases after this one. However, those cd's sound way too similar to this first release. They did not divert their musical style much at all. But out of the three cd's (this one, "Red Nights", and "Tropical Nights"), this one is the best overall.

Good solid tunes.......2006-05-30

I got the CD for "Que Sera Sera" and discovered I also liked "Train Song" and quite a bit of the rest of the songs. Holly Cole is an artist I have only recently discovered and very much want to hear more from.

Nice visuals.......2002-08-15

I often trade recommendations with acquaintances, which is how I came by this album, which combines an audio with a visual CD (4 tunes by Holly, including one--"Little Boy Blue"--not on the audio version). There's a great sense of theater and presentation here, even in the exclusively audio portion. Which is not to say these aren't highly polished, even ultra, uh, "smooth" musicians (bassist David Piltch is the stand-out).

As for the voice itself and the song selections, what I'm hearing on this album is certainly more the music of Cher than of Ella, Sarah, Billie, or even Doris Day (despite the inclusion of "Que Sera" in a 6/8 gospel-feel update). Holly's voice on this album covers a single octave--from G below middle C to G above--but contains tough fiber and muscle--in fact, less "vulnerability" than any other singer who comes to mind. The vulnerability and innocense belong to percussionist Dougie Bown, who on "Little Boy Blue" sits on the floor to play brushes on a drum head and his tennis sneakers! The most enduring performance on the album is also the least contrived--"Calling You," the haunting movie theme that Holly meets on its own terms.

In the VCD portion, Holly praises the extemporaneousness of live, concert recordings such as "It Happened One Night." Based on the evidence here, I'm not quite sure what she's talking about.

This album will make you a fan.......2000-09-05

Recorded from live performances (the best way to appreciate Holly Cole, whose studio releases have sometimes been uneven), this enhanced CD is a fabulous look at a very talented song stylist. Cole's premier gift is restyling chestnuts you thought you knew backwards and forwards (and maybe never wanted to hear again). "Que Sera Sera," Doris Day's gift to insomnia, turns into an absolute gem when Holly sings it. She is as comfortable with Stephen Sondheim ("Losing My Mind" from FOLLIES) as she is with Tom Waits ("Train Song," "Tango 'Til They're Sore") and Bob Telson ("Calling You," a little known diamond from the soundtrack of the Percy Adlon film BAGDAD CAFE).

Whatever you do, don't ignore the multimedia! Pop this into a computer, Mac or PC, and check out the videos. The video for "I Can See Clearly Now" will give you chills. Once you hear this album, you will become a Holly Cole fan. But please see her live; that's where all the real magic happens.

Wake up and play it on your computer!.......2000-06-15

All those other 5 star reviews have it right, a great CD. What they don't mention is the multimedia part of the CD. It includes quicktime video of four songs from the concert (Including 'Little Boy Blue', which is not on the audio CD portion.), two music videos and various Q&A with Holly, stuff about the Band, etc. Not like being at a live concert, but it does add a lot to the experience of the album. So that's why it looks a little short on music! Try it, PC or Mac, you'll like it.

The best of all of them.......1999-10-03

I have all of her CDs, but this one takes the cake. It's fairly short selection of live performances, but they are outstanding, especially "Train Song" - I haven't heard anything as fascinating and beautiful as this in a long time. Plus, there's plenty of multimedia stuff to keep you occupied. Enjoy!!!
