Ernesto bought me this great CD for my birthday. I have most of Diana Krall's earlier albums, but I stopped listening to her when she became too mainstream contemporary (lots of strings and mellow tempos - a little too sappy). This is a live album, and I'm happy to say that it's fantastic! She is so much more suited to this style - straight ahead jazz with a simple rhythm section (all fantastic musicians). She performs many of her earlier songs with bouncier speed and great solos - there's also a version of Billy Joel's Just the Way You Are!
