On 2005's CHRISTMAS SONGS, Diana Krall applies her sultry vocals and nuanced piano lines to a strong set of holiday classics. In addition to turning in a stirring performance of ""The Christmas Song"" that would make Nat ""King"" Cole proud, Krall eases into a swaying version of ""Winter Wonderland"" and a lush rendition of ""Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."" With its dynamic arrangements and pitch-perfect mix of pop and jazz, this album stands alongside other timeless Yuletide outings.
This is first full length holiday recording by this Grammy Award winning artist. It is an uplifting collection of seasonal favorites,with Krall sounding better than ever on both piano and vocals. Features swinging big band arrangements by John Clayton and several tracks for quartet,including string arrangements by Johnny Mandel.Produced by Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall. Verve. 2005.
