Minimalist arrangements and smoky vocals convey the raw and deep emotion of jazz standards from around the world. Christie Winn's voice wraps itself around you like bear hug and carries you along for the ride on "C'est Magnifique". A pure professional as a vocalist, Winn is on every moment of the album, selling each song as if she's lived it, and knocking out each note with a level of technical proficiency and artistic grace that is a cut above the pack. Winn's interpretations are generally right on the mark, elevating song craft at times to the sublime. "C'est Magnifique" truly is.

Recorded at the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris in November 2001, this is Diana Krall's first live album. Backed by her quicksilver combo of bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and guitarist Anthony Wilson, Krall's jazz heritage comes through loud and clear on this program of standards, ballads, and bossa novas. Her cool contralto vocals are illuminated by the Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, under the direction of Alan Broadbent, as well as the London Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Claus Ogerman. Krall's deep take on Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" is a great choice for an encore, and the album concludes with Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" (a studio track from a film called The Guru), with tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and bassist Christian McBride. This collection only hints at what Diana Krall has to offer in the future.

This release (marked as Version 2) is the exact same same orchestra, same conductor, same interpretation and same location as the originally released version. The difference is that in the previous version - the recording has been made with three couples of valve microphones, all ancient and original Neumann U47, U48 and M49. This special edition has been made with only two microphones Neumann U47, capturing more acoustics of the theatre.
