Her hot-and-cold voice and piano finesse have made her a jazz sensation and international superstar with gold albums and sold-out concerts over the past twenty years. “All For You,” the Canadian's third release, is a tribute album to the Nat King Cole Trio and was released in 1996 – before Diana Krall achieved international fame. Despite the commercially more successful albums that followed, it is “All For You” that continues to thrill critics to this day. The very personal piano interpretations on a Steinway grand piano in Hamburg, the subtle but high-caliber band accompaniment, and Krall's almost eerily present voice testify to the musician's deep fascination with the work of legendary singer and pianist Nat King Cole.
Before recording in New York in October 1995, Diana Krall had been on tour for months with guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Paul Keller. She was convinced that the fascination of the Nat King Cole Trio's work could only be captured by a homogeneous band and not by a group of studio musicians thrown together. It is rare in jazz to be able to arrange a song precisely yet accessibly without drums. “All For You” is a masterclass on this subject. Only on “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” does Steve Kroon's percussion take over its important role.
As part of the popular “Verve Acoustic Sounds Series,” Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic as a limited edition Japan SHM-SACD in a mini LP cardboard sleeve with OBI stripe. The original recording sessions for “All For You: A Dedication To The Nat King Cole Trio” took place from October 3 to 8, 1995, at Power Station Studio in New York City.
This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums' master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. - Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
