Born on November 16, 1964 in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, she has established herself as a prominent figure in the music industry. With her mesmerizing voice and exceptional piano skills, Diana has captivated audiences worldwide.

Married to Elvis Costello, another renowned musician, Diana's talent extends beyond her own performances. She is also a member of the Order Of Canada, showcasing her significant contributions to the arts.

With a unique blend of jazz and soulful melodies, Diana Krall's music resonates with fans who appreciate sophisticated and timeless sounds. Her style can be compared to other talented artists such as Renee Olstead, Sophie Milman, Stacey Kent, Madeleine Peyroux, Eliane Elias and many more.

Verve Records, also known as Verve, is a multinational record label that was founded in 1956 by jazz impresario Norman Granz. The label originated from the consolidation of Granz's earlier labels, Norgran Records and Clef Records. In 1960, Verve was sold to MGM Records and became a subsidiary of the company. Throughout the 1960s, Verve expanded its music genres to include comedy, pop, R&B, rock, and folk music.

During this time, Verve had successful jazz recordings from artists such as Stan Getz, Kai Winding, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Smith under the direction of Creed Taylor. In 1972, MGM sold its record division to Polydor which brought Verve into the newly formed PolyGram family of record labels. As a result of this transition, Verve focused primarily on jazz reissues while other non-jazz releases were absorbed into Polydor.

In the late 1980s, PolyGram decided to revive Verve with both reissue programs and new artist signings. This revitalization led to strong sales for both new material and remastered classic recordings. With the merger of PolyGram and Vivendi Universal in 1999 creating Universal Music Group (UMG), Verve Records became part of The Verve Music Group alongside other influential labels such as Blue Note Records and Impulse! Records.

The Look of Love doesn't tamper with Diana Krall's ongoing success, continuing the emphasis on romantic ballads and embracing them with lush string arrangements. At the core, of course, is Krall's voice. She's developing into one of the great torch singers, with an approach that's both direct and subtly nuanced, true to the song and yet deeply personal. There's a combination of restraint and drama here, as Krall ranges from the confident to the wistful, from loss to playful insinuation, as each song requires. "Cry Me a River" is bittersweet triumph, while "Love Letters" and "Maybe You'll Be There" maintain the most tenuous emotional hold, at once fragile and resilient. "Besame Mucho" and "Dancing in the Dark" are sultry romances wafted on light Latin beats. The songs develop their intimacy in the setting of Krall's quartet, which usually includes bassist <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/97031/%24%7B0%7D">Christian McBride</a> and drummer <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/49657/%24%7B0%7D">Peter Erskine</a> and several fine guitarists, most frequently <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/70416/%24%7B0%7D">Russell Malone</a>. They're a superb complement to her voice and piano, and the close communication carries through the depth and sheen added by Claus Ogerman's rich orchestrations.
