WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance and for Best Engineered Album, Non Classical. WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year.
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES, a 1999 Verve release, heralds the return of the cool and groovy Latin-tinged jazz of the `60s. Upon hearing the opening track, a bossa-nova-fied version of Irving Berlin`s "Let`s Face The Music And Dance," one might think he had accidentally put on a Getz/Gilberto record. In fact, it`s hard to avoid comparing Krall`s breathy alto to that of Astrud Gilberto-particularly on the more samba-flavored numbers.
But Krall ultimately resists comparisons. Her simultaneously textured and smooth tone, warm timbre, and conversational phrasing mark her as unique. The set of standards here, including "Let`s Fall In Love," "I`ve Got You Under My Skin," and "Pick Yourself Up" among others, is enhanced by fine session musicians and Johnny Mandel`s tasteful arrangements. While Krall is more than comfortable with a sly swing (Michael Franks` "Popsicle Toes"), it is the stirring ballads-like the title track-that show her skill to best advantage. Krall is a considerable talent, and the time-tested, well-loved sound that characterizes these tracks should ensure her success.

    What a beautiful, romantic CD. Very well done. Easy to listen to and quite mellow jazz renditions of some old favorite songs. Diana Krall has a lovely husky voice that reminds me of the descriptions of "torch singers" of a bygone era. You can't lose with this one. Although there is no inappropriate language, there are certainly metaphors suitable for adults, not children, in Popsicle Toes (which is also a very fun song with the right person).
