Oh, I agree entirely. I think it's nice that people are listening to her instead of a lot of the more disposable stuff out there.

I saw her on TV the other night with Russell Malone (didn't recognize the bass player) and she just seemed so...average. You'd think that for somebody to be enjoying that kind of success they'd have to be really amazing. I couldn't help but think of Nat Cole (a musician who's obviously been a huge influence on Krall) and how starlingly different his performances of the same material are (I'm talking about the Cole standards that Krall covers).

The arrangements are pretty much the same. But Cole states the material with such authority, and it really jumps. Krall just sounds...limp.

Russell Malone is a good guitar player though.
