Diana Krall - Stepping Out (Full album with Bonus Track Summertime 1993)

"Stepping Out: launched the career of one of our generation’s greatest Jazz artists. “Diana Krall’s 1993 debut shows that she had the goods right from the get-go. Krall sings with honesty, subtlety, and persuasion while playing the piano with head-shaking authority, both as accompanist - she offers amazing asides in between vocal phrases - and as an absolutely A-one improviser.” (Zan Stewart). The Justin Time Essentials Collection introduces the album to a new generation of fans, but this time with an added bonus track from the original sessions – Diana’s incredible arrangement of "Summertime”.

“Stepping Out" a lansat cariera unui artist de  jazz dintre cei mai mari ai generatiei de azi. Albumul de debut al Dianei Krall, din 1993, ne arata ca avea tot ce era necesar pentru a incepe si a se lansa. Krall canta cu onestitate, subtil si persuasiv in timp ce canta si la pian scuturand capul cu autoritate, ambele ca acompaniator - ea ofera si uimitoare parti intre frazele vocale – ca un improvizator de nota 10.” (Zan Stewart). Colectia “Justin Time Essentials” prezinta acest album noii generatii de fani ai jazz-ului, dar de aceasta data cu un cantec bonus din sesiunea originala, incredibilul aranjament al Dianei pentru “Summertime”.
