Full concert by Diana Krall at the North Sea Jazz Festival on Friday 12 July 2013, in the Ahoy Hall in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Canadian pianist and singer performs material from “Glad Rag Doll”, a dive into the American musical heritage of the 1920s and 1930s, alongside an exceptional band: Stuart Duncan, Aram Bajakian, Patrick Warren, Dennis Crouch and Karriem Riggins. Her hushed, sultry voice, her piano touch and her rare gift for song selection work wonders on a repertoire blending standards (“Peel Me a Grape”, “Frim Fram Sauce”), Tom Waits and Neil Young covers, and rarities unearthed from the great American songbook. This high-definition filmed live concert conveys the elegance and warmth of one of the most popular jazz artists of her generation, a recurring and beloved guest of the festival. A reference document for appreciating the art of interpretation and the chemistry of a band in the service of swing and emotion.
