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.
Quiet Nights
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie away
from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
Became these quiet nights of loving you!
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie away
from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!

Este é o Rio que queremos ver; não há morros com favelas, tráfico, polícia ocupando as ruas, pobreza, miséria, violência, mortes... Parabéns aos produtores deste vídeo, que veem o Rio com outros olhos!

When her voice is put to music it takes me to a different realm....hauntingly beautiful. Only enhanced when she's at the keyboard and the accompanying orchestra. I've seen her in concert in NY and Vegas and I didn't want the shows to end. Love her.....love her style.♥️♥️♥️
