Reviews Customer Reviews for All For You A Dedication To The Nat King Cole Trio      "Five will get you ten... " !      Rating:      Prior to this album, Diana Krall was not considered serious enough as a Jazz singer who could play a mean piano roll. She was a pretty girl, with a pretty voice, who would do standard jazz covers. But this album changed all that, the trio in this record is brilliant and Diana's talent as a vocalist AND a piano player is showcased here in great abundance. It was good for her to choose a tribute album to Nat King Cole, and it results in a very good record and nice interpretations of Nat Cole's classics. It was difficult without a drummer as well I don't have a large collection (50 to 60 CDs ), but this is one cd that i listened to so many items, i scratched it till it could not be played anymore. For me the standout tracks are pretty much all of them special mention though, 1. Gee baby... 2. Madness 3. If i had you 4. Frim Fram Sauce 5. jive jack.. Note: One of the other reviewers here has mentioned a good point, that her current label spends too much time on her image and promoting that aspect of hers. Her talent as a good musician should be developed more.     Customer Reviews for All For You A Dedication To The Nat King Cole Trio Cd      a dedication to the nat king cole trio      Rating:      pianist/vocalist diana krall plays tribute to nat king cole in her own way without copying him and doing a good job backed up by a fine guitarist and bassit,,this is a tastefull effort that succedes Editorial Reviews for All For You A Dedication To The Nat King Cole Trio Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      All for You is a tribute to the Nat "King" Cole Trio of the 1940s, when Cole performed as both a singer and a pianist. Krall, like her heroes Lena Horne and Carmen McRae, is also a singer-pianist, and she plays both roles on most of the songs here. She's able to link her singing to her piano playing in sympathetic ways and projects tremendous feeling through both. Like Cole in the '40s, Krall plays with a drummerless trio--here with guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Paul Keller. Their sense of intimate rapport is especially valuable on ballads such as "You Call It Madness" and "I'm Thru with Love," but also allows such uptempo tunes as "Hit That Jive Jack" to swing with surprising lightness. --Geoffrey Himes
