Jazz without the cool but sensual singing of Diana Krall just wouldn't sound the same. Her pre-bop piano style and fortuitously photogenic looks combined to storm the jazz world in the late 1990s.

As part of Verve Records' ongoing 60th anniversary celebration, Verve/United Music Enterprises is proud to announce the release of eight essential Diana Krall albums in 180 gram, 2 LP vinyl reissues. The renowned pianist and vocalist has called Verve home for the vast majority of her illustrious career, and these new versions of her recordings originally released between 1996 and 2009 showcase many of her finest moments in lustrous vinyl format.

A distinctly orchestral sound comes to the forefront on Krall's official Verve debut, When I Look in Your Eyes, released in 1999. Eight of the album's 13 tracks feature strings conducted by veteran composer/arranger Johnny Mandel along with an all-star jazz ensemble.

Whatever renown Krall had earned over the years for her work exploded with this album, which became an international best-seller and earned her a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. It was also the first jazz album to be nominated for Album of the Year in 25 years.

Krall's crossover success followed her as she performed in Lilith Fair the following year, and her songs cropped up everywhere from episodes of "Sex in the City" to films such as "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". [Hide]
