Breathless and pitchy. Trying way too hard. It sounds like the band has to hang around for her to get it even close to together. I wouldn't mind having a cd of the band without Diana however.

I love it and highly recommend that you purchase the cd. Diane Krall is a very smooth songstress and sets the stage for a dynamic expereince.

This CD is one you will never stop playing. The DVD has a beautiful final track with Diana's husband Elvis Costello and Elton John joining her. You can see what a great family life she has. Diana often mentions how she misses her husband when she is performing overseas on one of her international DVDs. A happy home life has contributed to Diana's maturity as an artist. This CD is just perfection.

A quiet night, a candlelit dinner, a glass of wine, your best girl and Diana singing in the background. Smokin'!
Customer rating is 3 of 5  Quiet Nights Is Not Up To Krall's High Standards   2010-02-08
By Philip R. Heath (Hurst, TX United States)
I have been a fan of Diana Krall since When I Look In Your Eyes (see my review), and I also really liked The Look Of Love and From This Moment On. On these past recordings I thought that she played and sang with a rich emotional depth that just doesn't seem to be there on Quiet Nights. Also on most tracks her voice seems thin, strained, and airy compared to past recordings. Krall also uses a different vocal delivery on songs such as "Walk On By" where the rhythm and pitch just don't sound like her. I've also really enjoyed her piano playing too, but it comes off sounding trite on "So Nice". The opening of the song sounds more like the theme to Three's Company than something a classy jazz musician would record.

The silver lining on Quite Nights is the final four songs that come closest to traditional Krall. I found it odd that likely the best song on the CD "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" is listed as a bonus track. While her vocals don't quite hit the bar that she set on previous recordings, her emotion seems more natural.

I hope that Quiet Nights is a blip rather than a trend for Diana Krall. I am anxious for her next CD to see if she returns to form. For Quiet Nights I would recommend picking and choosing songs to download rather than buying the whole thing.
