52nd Annual Grammy Awards
Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)
Quiet Nights ~ Claus Ogerman, arranger (Diana Krall)
"I feel this album's very womanly - like you're lying next to your lover in bed whispering this in their ear." - Diana Krall
Some music is intended to paint a romantic scene - a candlelit dinner, a walk along a moonlit beach. Quiet Nights - Diana Krall's twelfth album - ain't about that. Using Brazil as a musical point of reference, the award-winning pianist and singer is not suggesting a night out; she means to stay in. From Krall's refreshing version of "Where or When," to an utterly soul-stirring rendition of "You're My Thrill," the 10 songs on Quiet Nights are disarming in their intimacy. Even those already familiar with the breathy vocals and rhythmic lilt in Krall's music - and now there are millions - will be taken aback by just how far the music pushes, unabashedly, into the realm of sweet surrender.

Nice LP edition and what to buy. Some new directions and arranging here, excellent sonics, and the cover, well, just deserves to be 12" square! Overall, less ambitious than The Girl in the Other Room, which with Elvis Costello as lyricist on many tracks, really took things to a new level. This one out feels more predictable, with less edge, but any fan of Ms. Krall will enjoy it just the same.
