DIANA KRALLThursday, April 30 & After nearly five years away from Canadian concert stages,
Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist and pianist Diana Krall
returns with a new tour in celebration and in support of her new
Verve CD Quiet Nights, to be released imminently! To
fully showcase the sumptuous arrangements of Claus Ogerman on
both Quiet Nights and Krall’s material from Look of
Love and When I Look in Your Eyes, Ms. Krall will be
accompanied in concert by her usual sidemen Anthony Wilson
(guitars), Jeff Hamilton (drums), John Clayton (bass) plus a
45-piece orchestra under the direction of conductor Alan
Broadbent. MICHAEL KAESHAMMERFriday, May 1 & Michael Kaeshammer was classically trained in his native
Germany, fell in love with boogie-woogie piano at age 13; six
recordings later - his latest on the Alert label, Lovelight,
included in the ticket price - he has become Canada’s brightest
triple-threat combo of piano virtuosity, vocal ability, and
charisma. The core of a Kaeshammer live performance is his
extraordinary ability to stir or hush a large crowd using his
piano and his sense of humour. NATHANIEL DETT CHORALE
