This Dream Of You

“These songs, like most others that I have recorded, summon up pictures in my mind. It is to that movie that I hope to take the listener.” Diana Krall Superstar five time Grammy winner Diana Krall returns with a new album, years in the making. This Dream Of You is music for right now but it is also a “long playing record,” one that feels like a movie that you might share with someone be cause you know they’ll stay with it until the final reel. As Diana says, “If ‘But Beautiful’ is the overture, then ‘Singing In The Rain’ is the end title.” This Dream Of You , produced in May 2020 by Ms. Krall, was mixed by Al Schmitt, who worked closely with the artist to achieve notable intimacy and immediacy with her voice in the final balance. The performances come from sessions in 2016 and 2017, on which Krall worked with her friend and longtime creative partner, Tommy LiPuma. Mr. LiPuma passed away in 2017 at the age of 80. The album features Krall in a quartet with long time colleagues, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton and Anthony Wilson on “Almost Like Being In Love” and “That’s All”, as well as a trio with Christian McBride and Russell Malone who play on “Autumn in New York” and “There’s No You.”The duos include a wonderful first take performance of “I Wished On The Moon” from Krall and bassist, John Clayton and two vocal cuts ––“More Than You Know” and “Don’t Smoke In Bed” with accompaniment by pi anist, Alan Broadbent, who also provided the string orchestration for “But Beautiful” and st
