Editorial Reviews :
Diana Krall, here with her first GRP album, expands on the delights that populated her 1992 debut, Stepping Out. Again, her talents are simply remarkable: she sings with feeling, emotion, and nuance--she invests a lyric with believability--and plays marvelous piano, no matter the tempo. The program pleases on so many levels: slip the disc into the player, hit any track at random, and you'll be moved. Take the oh-so-slow, heartfelt groover 'Squeeze Me,' on which her alto is both breathy and demonstrative and her accompaniments are sly, and which features a winsome solo by bass maestro Ray Brown. On another gut-wrenching crawler, 'All Night Long,' Krall tears you up with her emotive, intimate vocal, interspersing her singing with telling, shimmering piano notes, then delivering a solo full of wry confidences. The succulent title track is a deliciously slow bossa where Krall's vocal is partly whispered, as if sung in your ear. More upbeat is the finger-popping 'Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby,' where the artist sings with grit and life then solos with an economical drive. Tenor saxophone giant Stanley Turrentine adds a trademark saucy improvisation. 'I Love Being Here with You' is a romping shuffle where Krall's voice hits some notes on the head and stretches others like pulled taffy. 'Broadway' is another vibrant outing that includes a singing, fat-noted solo from bassist Christian McBride and Lewis Nash's deft brush work. Aces all around.
Buyer Reviews :
When I first bought Diana Krall's, 'Only Trust Your Heart', I gave it one or two listens and then put it away being not too impressed. Then about a year later I saw her in concert where she opened with a tune called 'I Love Being Here With You'. I couldnt figure out at the concert, where this energetic little opener had come from. It turned out to be on the before mentioned CD. I gave 'Only Trust Your Heart a relisten and I realized, what a wonderful jazz album it really is.I think the reason I like 'Only Trust Your Heart' is because it sounds so unlike Diana's other albums. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Ms.Krall and her other albums.I love that smokey, honey-tinged voice and her wonderful piano stylings. But on this particlar album, rather then her usual sexy whisper, she seems to belt them out with a roar.Also her band seems more at the forefront of the production including a very sassy turn by veteran sax player, Stanley Turentine.There are plenty of song stand outs including 'Is You or Is You My Baby' and 'I've Got the World On A String.'A special mention should be made also for the lovely ballad 'Folks Who Live On the Hill.' This is a really good jazz CD, that grows on you after a few listens.
