Diana Krall Reviews

Charlie from Worcester, Massachusetts

KRALL INSTRUMENTAL CONCERT

Enough already. We came to the Hanover in Worcester Ma. to hear her belt out the songs and ended up listening to the backup base and drums as the feature She was not connecting to the audience and appeared to be only partially present . Too artsy for me. Been to several of her concerts but won't be back.

DIAMA KRALL CONCERT WICHITA, KANSA

Much to short of a program. Kept flipping her hair and crossing and uncrossing her legs. Didn't act like she was even with the program. More time devoted to her band players than her singing. We came to hear Diana Krall not her band. Over half of her time on stage, which was short, was devoted to her band members and not her performance. Certainly not worth what we paid for tickets Amazing performances by there base player, drummer, violinist & guitarist was fantastic. BUT...came to hear Ms. Krall not these gentlemen.

DISAPPOINTED!

We had seen Dianna perform before & loved it, as a solo act. This time, she had a trio with her, which is fine, but we came to & paid to see her perform, not the trio. Too much time & attention was given to the trio & not enough time was spent with Dianna doing what she does best - singing & playing. It was difficult at times to even understand what she was saying/singing, had we not been familiar with the songs. For the money we paid to see her, we were very disappointed. So were the other 6 guests that attended that we knew. The event was sold out, which I'm not surprised of but I feel sure that most of the attendees, if polled, would feel exactly the way we did. Our seats were wonderful & to make a full evening, we had dined at a nearby restaurant. Our anticipation level was up there based on her past performances so sadly, we walked away dissatisfied & disappointed.

20% SINGING 80% JAZZ SOLOS

Diana Krall seemed to not be healthy for this concert. The concert started at least 15 minutes after its scheduled start. She was drinking water every chance she got on stage. The microphone she used must have bothered her because she fussed with it the entire show. Her singing seemed tired and almost 80% of the concert was instrumental when I was expecting her singing. The audience was also very bothersome. Many people had phones out and ushers could not catch them. People around us talked almost non-stop and I had to ask them to stop or I would get an usher. She did the most singing in the encore two numbers. Otherwise this concert was a jazz ensemble with lots of great solos from the violinist and guitar. Diana’s solos were harmonically interesting, but her rhythm section was not impressive. The bassist and drummer did not seem to mesh with what the group was doing. This was not what I expected and I was disappointed.

DIANNA KRALL

Disappointed.As others have stated ,she didn't sing even the minimum that my wife and I had expected. There is a tremendous amount of talent between all the musicians and of course Dianna the lead vocalist. They didn't really perform as a "band". It was more like a tune up session. I am guessing she wasn't feeling well by the amount of Solo's she had her band mates perform. I hope is feeling better for her next performance.

ON SECOND THOUGHT....

I looked over her career and realized why she has NEVER reduced to CD her "jazz ensemble" playing and there is a reason why; NO ONE WOULD BUY IT! I attended her concert last night in Charolette and she did not/would not sing. She gave us a great review of her band (not what anyone came to see at all); false advertising if ever I saw it. "I cried a river over you" was my thoughts after attending. Let's have a show of hands on how many people want a refund. If you had advertised that you were showing off your band, I would have paid 20 dollars not 400 dollars. Fraud and terribly disappointing. If you think your public who made you millions wants to hear a jazz instrumental night of music for you to make 1 million plus, think again.

Extremely Disappointing. I went to see her perform some of her songs, but all I heard was jazz rides from her band on mostly every song. They were good, but taking rides on every song was a bit much. It was all jazz musicians and very little Diana. She may have sung two songs. She seemed like she was going through the motions. I'm glad she only did about 1 1/2 hours. Miserable selection of songs and performance. I was ready to get out of there. I was so looking forward to seeing her.
