Krall, singer/pianist, got her
musical education when she was growing
up in Nanaimo, British Columbia, from
the classical piano lessons she began at
age four and in her high school jazz
band, but mostly from her father, a
stride piano player with an extensive
record collection. "I think Dad has
every recording Fats Waller ever made,"
she said, "and I tried to learn them
all." Krall attended the Berklee College
of Music on a music scholarship in the
early '80s, then moved to Los Angeles,
where she lived for three years before
moving to Toronto. By 1990, she was
based in New York, performing with a
trio and singing. After releasing her
first album on Justin Time Records,
Krall was signed to GRP for her second,
Only Trust Your Heart and transferred to
its Impulse! division for her third, a
Nat "King" Cole Trio tribute album
called All for You. Love Scenes followed
in 1997, and in late 1998, she issued
the seasonal Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas. When I Look in Your
Eyes followed in 1999. Whatever
notoriety 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 also was
the first jazz album to be nominated for
Album of the Year in twenty-five years.
Krall's crossover success followed her
as she performed in the Lilith Fair the
following year and her songs cropped up
everywhere from episodes of Sex in the
City to films like Midnight in the
Garden of Good and Evil. In 2001 she
released The Look of Love. The album
topped the Billboard charts and went
quintuple platinum in Canada, the first
by a Canadian jazz artist to do so. The
Look of Love also helped Krall win three
Juno awards in 2002, taking home awards
for Artist of the Year, Album of the
Year and Best Vocal Jazz Album of the
Year. Two years later, Krall issued The
Girl in the Other Room. Covering a few
standards, this album included original
material for the first time in her
career. |
