I have, a little bit, taken leave of my senses! Having been conscious for a while that the Music section of my blog hasn't particularly received a lot of attention since the inception, I've decided a quick-fire method to address this is to post short, simple notes on what I'm currently listening to. Hopefully this will evolve into more in depth musing on music in general. Time will tell!
Anyway, first up is Diana Krall. Having the fortune of an empty office for once, I've been listening to her recent concert on BBC Radio 2 on the BBC iPlayer. I've become more and more impressed with Krall the more I listen to her. Most notably because my iPhone seems to have developed a 'thing' for her when in shuffle mode! I knew Michael Parkinson was a fan but didn't really get why. Slowly but surely that's changing. I like her style of song, her melodies and voice but mainly how the piano gently accompanies the voice, changing gear for the solos in a subtle yet distinct manner. Her solos aren't manic, but are more energetic than they can often sound!
I shall by taking a closer look at the new album come pay day!
