Recorded at the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris in November 2001, this is Diana Krall's first live album. Backed by her quicksilver combo of bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and guitarist John Pisano (on some tracks), Krall's jazz heritage comes through loud and clear on this program of standards, ballads, and bossa novas. On Peggy Lee's "I Love Being Here with You," Bob Dorough's "Devil May Care," and Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," Krall's snappy, postbop piano playing shows off her debt to Nat "King" Cole and Jimmy Rowles. Her cool contralto vocals are illuminated by the Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, under the direction of Alan Broadbent, as well as the London Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Claus Ogerman. Krall's deep take on Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" is a great choice for an encore, and the CD concludes with Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" (a studio track from a film called The Guru), with tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and bassist Christian McBride. This collection only hints at what Diana Krall has to offer in the future.--Eugene Holley Jr.

 Will make you a jazz fan October 6, 2008
Sometimes live performances don't live up to to their studio counterparts, but in this case Krall adds dimension and depth to her already formidable studio recordings. Dexterously inventive, she puts improvisation back into jazz-isn't that is what jazz is all about? You'll recognize all the old standards, and some super arrangements. She knows how to swing and her up-tempo version of 'Devil May Care', to my ears, is slick and simply dazzling.
(Warning: Jazz critics may turn their noses up at all this as they seem to do when a jazz artist achieves a modicum of popularity or crossover appeal(then they wonder why jazz is an endangered species) but just ignore them-Diana Krall is one of the best to come along in a long long time)
Her voice is husky and cool August 11, 2008
The first time I listened to her voice, I could not really match her voice with how she looks. She is a pretty woman. But her voice is husky and cool. I youtubed her and saw some video clips of "Live in Paris" and other performance videos. I've noticed that she often performs with a very talented bassist John Clayton. He is awesome. People rave about Diana but I have to say that John and other artists who performed with Diana are cool too. I think I am going to check out John's new project through ArtistShare. It is supposed to be a family project.
 The Best of Diana July 24, 2008

Live in Paris was recorded at the Paris Olympia on November 29 through December 2, 2001 during Diana Krall's 2001 world tour. Meticulously produced by Tommy LiPuma (known for his work with Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, and Natalie Cole on Unforgettable: With Love) and engineered by Al Schmitt for Verve Music, this is a live album that, except for the clapping in between songs, sounds like a studio album. It won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album and a Juno Award. Not only does the setlist include ballads, bossa nova, and standards by Peggy Lee, Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter, and Gershwin, but Krall also performs covers of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" and Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You." At the time of its release, Live in Paris revealed Krall's promising future as a jazz vocalist. The complete album setlist includes:
1. I Love Being Here With You (Peggy Lee, William Schluger) 5:12
2. Let's Fall in Love (Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler) 4:34
3. 'Deed I Do (Walter Hirsch, Fred Rose) 5:17
4. The Look of Love (Burt Bacharach, Hal David) 5:00
5. East of the Sun (And West of the Moon) (Brooks Bowman) 5:58
6. I've Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter) 7:24
7. Devil May Care (Bob Dorough, Terrell Kirk) 6:52
8. Maybe You'll Be There (Rube Bloom, Sammy Gallop) 5:47
9. 'S Wonderful (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin) 5:59
10. Fly Me to the Moon (Bart Howard) 6:05
11. A Case of You (Joni Mitchell) 7:04
12. Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel) 5:00

"Let Me See What Spring Is Like On Jupiter And Mars" November 21, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This CD, "Live In Paris," produced by Tommy LiPuma for Verve Records is one of my favorite Diana Krall CDs. It won the most-coveted award for "Best Jazz Vocal Album" at the 2002 Grammy Awards. The first 11 tracks were recorded live at the Paris Olympia in 2001 and the last track "Just The Way You Are," was recorded in New York City.
What made this live recording so special to me is the inclusion of an all-time favorite song penned by Bart Howard, "Fly Me To The Moon." Diana Krall gives it a gorgeous treatment that is best possible for a live recording with the support of Anthony Wilson on guitar, John Clayton on bass and Jeff Hamilton on drums.
"Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what Spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, Darling kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore."
Most of her hit songs from various albums are performed in the liveliest settings. You'll surely appreciate and enjoy "The Look of Love," "'S Wonderful," "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon") and Billy Joel's greatest song "Just The Way You Are," a song I love when it was a number one hit . . . many moons ago? And not to mention a tear-jerker of all-time, "Maybe You'll Be There," the song responsible for the expressive eyes that cried a river, and the song that produced an ocean of tears.
Two of my highlights, "Let's Fall In Love" and "I've Got You Under My Skin" features Alan Broadbent as music director/conductor with Orchestre Symphonique European.
This CD, which Diana Krall dedicates to her mother, is a testament that she is equally good at live recording with her enigmatic stage presence and a great rapport with live audience. Kudos to all her fine musicians who helped make this one of the most outstanding jazz live recordings.
This is a fabulous listen and I wholeheartedly recommend it!
