From June to the end of year 2008, Diana Krall is scheduled to perform in a number of festivals including Jazz a Vienne in France, Jordan Festival, Gent Jazz Festival in Belgium, North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands, Jazz Open in Germany, Live at Sunset in Switzerland and Outdoor Festival in Norway. The singer, whose popularity escalated due to song “The Look of Love", will also be performing in the format of private concerts, one of which will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“Diana Krall: Live in Concert", scheduled to take place at Ritz Carlton Jakarta on 5 October 2008, is presented by Java Festival Production, the organizer of Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival, which after four years of its conception (the festival was founded in 2005) has become one of the largest jazz festivals in the world.



A Great Reason to Catch Diana Krall's Performance

A lot of people say that Diana Krall is a romantic jazz singer, just like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and most especially Nat “King" Cole (as both Cole and Krall are accomplished pianists). Hailing from Canada, dubbed as “The Best Female Vocalist", this songstress and pianist has won two Grammy Awards and a number of other awards. Her popularity, especially in the last few years, has soared significantly. Most possibly, that's the reason why the tickets to her shows are always sold out, including special shows at various jazz festivals taking place in cities around the world. Although she performed in a number of shows around the year, this does not mean that acquiring tickets to her shows is an easy feat.

In addition to having such a velvety voice and being an accomplished pianist, Diana Krall is also stunning to behold. It is perhaps one of the many reasons why she can easily captivate music lovers. Any poster which showcases her facade turns people's heads. Diana Krall is indeed a charming spectacle to behold.

On 5 October 2008, at 20:00, Diana Krall will be performing at Ritz Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place. This is a great opportunity for jazz aficionados (or aficionados of any genre for that matter) to see the Diva with their own eyes. Since the first publication of the “Diana Krall: Live in Concert" event, so many music lovers in Indonesia incessantly contacts the show's organizer to book tickets; this includes expatriates who have the opportunity to catch Krall's performance at any venue. It is perhaps because in whatever corner of the world, Diana Krall's shows' tickets are always sold out.

Her show in Jakarta is a part of Diana Krall's tour around Asia, after the end of her European tour (which ended in August 2008). This string of tours is also part of her album, “The Best of Diana Krall", promo tour. “The Very Best of Diana Krall" album, along with a DVD with a similar title, was released in 2007.

On her latest album, Diana Krall performed classic tracks, such as “S'Wonderful" by George and Ira Gershwin, Burt Bacharach and Hal David's “The Look of Love", “Let's Face the Music and Dance" by Irvin Berlin and Cole Porter's “I've Got You under My Skin". The album comprises of 15 tracks. It received positive reviews from music critics, as do her nine-track DVD album. The release of this album resulted in her receiving the “Best Female Vocalist" award at annual event, Canadian Jazz Award 2008.

There are so many reasons not to miss “Diana Krall: Live in Concert" at Ritz Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place, on 5 October 2008, at 20:00; one of which is, simply, to establish one's existence amongst music lovers.
