Diana Krall follows Canadian run with U.S. outing
Canadian native Diana Krall follows a spring tour of her home country with a lengthy summer run through the U.S.
Krall, whose Canadian jaunt fills the month of May, launches the U.S. trek in Philadelphia on June 19, and wraps things up at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Aug. 24.
Krall's roadwork supports her forthcoming album, "The Girl in the Other Room," which hits stores on April 27. The set, which is the follow-up to 2001's "The Look of Love," features original compositions from Krall, as well as six songs that she co-wrote with husband Elvis Costello.
Also included on the album are Krall's interpretations of Mose Allison's "Stop This World," Joni Mitchell's "Black Crow" and Costello's "Almost Blue." In March, Verve Records plans to release as the album's first single, Krall's cover of Tom Waits' "Temptation," according to a press release.
Krall co-produced the forthcoming album with three-time Grammy winner Tommy LiPuma. Backing her on the set are Anthony Wilson (guitar), Christian McBride (bass), John Clayton (bass), Peter Erskine (drums), Jeff Hamilton (drums) and Terry Lyne Carrington (drums).
In 2002, Krall released her first live album, "Live in Paris." The set won her the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
Krall won the 1999 Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for her platinum-selling album "When I Look in Your Eyes." That same year, Grammy in the Album of the Year category.
