To date\, her albums have g arnered two Grammy®\; Awards\, ten Juno®\; Awards and have also earn ed nine gold\, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums. Krall's uni que artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of t he most recognizable artists of our time. As The New York Times recently n oted Krall possesses\, “A voice at once cool and sultry\, wielded with a rhythmic sophistication.”\n\nBorn in Nanaimo\, British Columbia\, which is outside of Vancouver\, Krall grew up in the western part of Canada and began studying the piano when she was four years old. By the time she was 15\, she was performing jazz locally and with the encouragement of her fa ther\, a stride pianist with a vast knowledge of such Twenties and Thirtie s keyboard masters as Fats Waller\, James P. Johnson\, and Earl Hines\, sh e devoted herself to music. "I think Dad had every recording Fats Waller e ver made\," she says\, "and I tried to learn as many as I could."\n\nKrall was still a teenager when she was awarded a scholarship to the prestigiou s Berklee College of Music in Boston. After two years in Boston\, she move d to Los Angeles\, where she met her first jazz heavyweights\, including b assist John Clayton\, drummer Jeff Hamilton\, pianist/singer Jimmy Rowles \, and Ray Brown\, the legendary bassist who served as her musical mentor. In 1993\, the Montreal-based Justin Time Records released her debut album \, Stepping Out . The following year she signed with GRP Records and recor ded Only Trust Your Heart \, which featured Ray Brown on bass and Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone. Only Trust Your Heart also marked the begin ning of her association with Tommy LiPuma\, a collaboration that would con tinue until LiPuma’s untimely passing in 2017.\n\nKrall’s success cont inued with her subsequent releases All for You \, and Love Scenes but her watershed moment came in 1999 with the release of When I Look in Your Eyes \, her first release for the historic Verve record label. The recording s pent an unprecedented 52 weeks in the #1 position on Billboard's Jazz char t\, won two Grammy Awards and went platinum in the U.S. and Canada. Krall' s next album\, The Look of Love \, continued her international success and became a top ten seller on Billboard’s Top 200 Album charts. Since then she has released a string of recordings that have created an impressive b ody of work\, including her critically acclaimed Turn Up The Quiet \, whic h won two Juno Awards including “Producer of the Year.” Love Is Here T o Stay found Diana collaborating with her long-time friend and colleague T ony Bennett. It was recorded with the Grammy award winning Bill Charlap Tr io and the stunning result is a subtle\, sophisticated and beautifully ren dered love letter to The Gershwins’ music and their status as one of the premiere songwriters of the American popular standard. It is a masterclas s in vocal delivery and phrasing and the command that Bennett and Krall di splay of the material in both their duets and solo tracks makes it appear effortless\, belying the honed skills of the vocalists. The duet tracks in clude “Love Is Here to Stay\,” “S’Wonderful\,” “They Can’t T ake That Away from Me” and “Fascinating Rhythm\,” among them.\n\nHer most recent release\, This Dream Of You \, has garnered critical acclaim from fans and press alike. This album is a loving conclusion of Diana’s 25-year working relationship with producer Tommy LiPuma before his passing in 2017. Krall and longtime engineer\, Al Schmitt mixed and sequenced the album for the 2020 release and as such\, honored their great and much-mis sed friend. From this release came the worldwide premiere of “Autumn In New York\,” a cinematic ode to the city\, directed by Diana’s long-tim e collaborator and friend Mark Seliger\, offering a visual compliment to K rall’s loving and hopeful performance of the song.\n\nDiana Krall’s re cordings have been included in several film soundtracks and she has expand ed upon her role as a performer to include songwriting\, producing and arr anging and has brought her talents to collaborate with many other artists including Paul McCartney\, Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett. She tours ex tensively around the globe to sold out audiences\, appearing at premiere j azz festivals and concert halls throughout North America\, Europe\, Asia a nd Australia.\n\nBoletos: https://www.esplanade.com/whats-on/festivals-and -series/mosaic-music-series/2026/diana-krall URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/694794f1-fd81-4f3e-88ed-228dc7fa061 3 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
