Title: Late night listening...
Post by Steve Deckert on 06/30/10 at 06:55:05

I just have one thing to say...

God bless Diana Krall at 1:00 in the morning on a pair of 6 watt triodes. If I die tomorrow and my hole life was in vain, the last 40 minutes made it all worth it.

Without ears to hear, all the words in the world mean nothing.

Good night,

Steve

I'll agree with everything there. . .except Diana Krall doesn't do too much for me. :)

I'm enjoying the many hours of listening that my "retirement" has brought me. . . . Though I'll be going back to work soon, it's been a wonderful two years. My system has gotten better and better sounding and I can drift in peaceful reading and resting for hours and hours while listening to glorious music. It's not unappreciated!

To be honest, my favorite hours are the first two or three of the day. 5 to 8 a.m. or so. I'm not much of a late night person.

Her Live in Paris DVD is one of my favorites. She is a great piano player and surrounds herself with superior musicians.

No doubt. I'm just not a fan. She doesn't reach ME, I don't have an emotional tie to her performances and the music she creates. Glad she does many others, and has even served as an entryway into jazz for some.

Hi Lon, I did not mean for my post to sound abrasive or that I was flaming you. I am sorry if you felt that way. I just wanted to convey that I really like that DVD.

Oh I didn't take your post that way. And I'm not really knocking Ms Krall, she just doesn't really appeal to me, but I do see her appeal for others. There are so many pianists and singers and we can't listen or watch them all.

I'm one of those chaps who sometimes loves the quiet/smooth jazz. Sorta calms my nerves! Diana Krall is on the top of my list for that kind of music.
