After nearly five years away from Canadian concert stages, Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist and pianist Diana Krall returns with a new tour in celebration and in support of her new Verve CD Quiet Nights, to be released in late March. To fully showcase the sumptuous arrangements of Claus Ogerman on both Quiet Nights and Krall's material from Look of Love and When I Look in Your Eyes, Ms. Krall will be accompanied in concert by her usual sidemen Anthony Wilson (guitars), Jeff Hamilton (drums), John Clayton (bass) plus a 45-piece orchestra under the direction of conductor Alan Broadbent. Influenced greatly by her many tour performances in Brazil, Ms. Krall refers to her new work as 'not coy, like Peel Me a Grape, but womanly - like you're lying in bed next to your lover and whispering this in his ear.' From Krall's refreshing version of 'Where or When', to an utterly soul-stirring rendition of 'You're My Thrill' the ten songs on Quiet Nights are disarming in their intimacy, as the music pushes unabashedly into the realm of sweet surrender. As Krall puts it, 'It's a sensual, downright erotic record, and it's intended to be that way.' Two dollars for every ticket sold to the Diana Krall 'Quiet Nights' World Tour 2009 will be proudly donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation's 'The Heart Truth' campaign, with special thanks to founding sponsor, Becel.
