Diana Krall to Release CD in March

Verve Records will release Diana Krall’s new album, Quiet Nights, on March 31st. The romantic album combines Brazilian and West Coast jazz styles and features three recordings of songs by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Quiet Nights reunites Krall with arranger Claus Ogerman for the first time since the multi-platinum 2001 album The Look of Love. The Grammy Award-winning pianist and vocalist adds Paulinho Da Costa on percussion to her quartet of Anthony Wilson (guitar), John Clayton (bass) and Jeff Hamilton (drums).

Krall co-produced the album with Tommy LiPuma, the tenth time they have worked together, and returned to Capitol Studios in Hollywood with Al Schmitt engineering and mixing.

2. Too Marvelous For Words (Johnny Mercer, Richard Whiting)
