//MINI REVIEW

Recorded at the legendary Olympia Theatre in 2001, Diana Krall's "Live in Paris" captures the smoky-voiced jazz pianist at her most sophisticated and seductive. Backed by a sympathetic quartet that includes her husband Elvis Costello's occasional presence in the audience (and eventually on her arm), Krall works through a set of standards and contemporary material with a touch so delicate it feels like she's playing a late-night set in an intimate club rather than a grand Parisian hall. Her piano work is understated elegance personified—no flash, just impeccable taste and timing—while her vocals drip with the kind of sultry phrasing that made her a crossover star. Songs like "The Look of Love" and "Let's Fall in Love" breathe with romantic languor, her voice hovering just above a whisper before swelling with unexpected emotional depth. The French audience's reverence is palpable, their hushed attention underlining the spell Krall casts with every note. This isn't just a live album—it's an invitation into the kind of sophisticated jazz experience that feels like a secret shared between artist and listener. Pure class from start to finish.
