Diana Krall – The Look of Love (Album)
🔥The Look of Love🔥 is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on September 18, 2001, by Verve Records. It became Krall’s first 📀album to top the Canadian Albums Chart. In 2002, the album earned Al Schmitt the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, and received the Juno Award for Album of the Year in Canada. The album features a mix of romantic ballads and bossa nova-inspired tracks, characterized by lush orchestral arrangements by Claus Ogerman.
🎹Krall is accompanied by high-profile jazz musicians, including bassist Christian McBride, drummer Peter Erskine, and guitarist
🟥Russell Malone. Critical reception Jim Santella of All About Jazz commented, "Lush strings and gliding flutes surround Diana Krall's tender vocals. Even her substantial piano interludes take on the appearance of drifting mists, through the mix of orchestral timbres.
John Kreicbergs of PopMatters wrote, "Simply said, her piano chops are more than adequate to back up her incredible voice. Yet this is exactly what makes The Look of Love so maddening.
Doug Ramsey of JazzTimes stated, "The songs, including Burt Bacharach's title tune, are superb. The arrangements and performances enhance them. Krall's singing has improved with her every album. It is at a high level.
