The Diana Krall concert is being recorded on Thursday April 15 for broadcast on Friday May 7 at 19:30. After that it wiil be available on the BBC website for 7 days. Todays program was just an interview.

I played a concert with DK about 18 months ago at the Royal Festival Hall with the RPO and her quartet. It was a fantastic experience - not only because of the kick-ass playing and enchanting singing of Ms Krall but also due to the exquisite orchestrations. The writing was shared by 3 of the world's greatest exponents of the arrangers craft, Vince Mendoza, Claus Ogerman and Johnny Mandel. There was hardly anything for the brass section to play and it was just a sheer pleasure to sit bathed in the glow of the rich and spine tingling textures these writers coaxed from the orchestra - a dream gig. Hopefully we'll be getting to hear a lot more from Ms Krall over here, now that she is hitched to a Brit (Elvis Costello).

I'll let you know how it goes and thanks to Ed for the publicity - I'll try not to fade out behind my stand on this one! :)

All the best, Noel.
