GRAMMY®-winner Krall revisits some classic favorites from her earlier Verve and Impulse! recordings on this new DVD as well. Live performances of all of these can be seen on the Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival DVD. Krall also interpreted songs from a wide range of artists for The Girl in the Other Room, including Tom Waits (“Temptation”), Mose Allison (“Stop This World”), and Joni Mitchell (“Black Crow”). Some of the Krall/Costello compositions featured on Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival are “Abandoned Masquerade,” “Departure Bay,” and “Narrow Daylight.” The DVD also features Krall’s concert opener, the original instrumental “Sometimes I Just Freak Out,” a song which is not available on the US version of her latest CD. Many of the album’s songs were penned by Krall and her husband, Elvis Costello. The album, which has been certified Gold in the US and double Platinum in Krall’s native Canada, marked a change in that it showcased for the first time Krall’s skills as a songwriter. Most of the songs performed here are culled from Krall’s recent Verve release, The Girl in the Other Room. Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival features Diana Krall on vocals and piano along with her band of Anthony Wilson on guitar, Peter Erskine on drums, and Robert Hurst on bass.
