Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.

Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing for ever more
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my life with song
Let me sing for ever more
All I worship and adore
You are all I long for
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words

Good stuff: so much better when she plays as part of a small combo (as opposed to a full orchestra), the band and DK get to swing and do justice to a classic. Who was in the band?

This Version is (without a few chords at the beginning) accurately transcribed and published by Wise Publications as Play-Along, it´s really fun to play it by myself.

I played this at my mother's funeral reception, after the church mass.This couldn't have been more appropriate. This was my mother's style of music as well as the lyrics were so very appropriate. Thanks, Diana............my mom also has a home in Nanoose. See ya around.
