This album appears in the footsteps of 2004's The Girl in the Other Room but doesn't sound like a follow-up. Whereas The Girl saw the pianist-singer abandon the Great American Songbook for more personal pastures, From This Moment On sees her working out on standards done in traditional arrangements. Although the tracks here are by the likes of Cole Porter, Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn, and the Gershwins, Krall sounds more at ease than ever before; perhaps digging deep inside on The Girl loosened her up. Backed by the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra on seven tracks, Krall sings off the big band with ease. On the title track, she keeps up with a galloping bass and explosive brass arrangements and even ventures into scatting toward the end of the song. Her voice has also acquired a wonderfully worn texture in the past few years, and it works wonders on the ballads (just listen to "Isn't This a Lovely Day" and "Little Girl Blue" for instance). When standards are done like this, there's just nothing like 'em. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Album Description
From This Moment On is an 11-song collection that captures the Canadian-born sensation in full swing, in great company, and at the top of her game. It could also be called her strongest, most cohesive release to date. Krall--for the few still unknowing--is the 41-year old sensation whose cool, heavy-lidded vocals and strikingly sensitive piano-playing has helped her transcend barriers of genre to become a popular artist of the first order who has carved herself a permanent position at the top of the jazz charts. In songs, mood, and delivery, From This Moment On reveals Krall's personal ardor for that golden era of song-making, when Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and (especially) Nat "King" Cole were in their prime. It's musical territory that Krall has often explored, but this album was certainly not a case of simply repeating past formulas: Krall's A-team of support--producer Tommy LiPuma, engineer Al Schmitt, and arranger/bandleader John Clayton--were on hand to ensure that inspiration was kept on an edge, unhindered by the studio environment.

 One of her finest December 8, 2008
As a jazz record reviewer, one of the plagues of my life is the proliferation of weakly talented white-chick jazz singers. Diana Krall is one of the more reliable antidotes for that malaise, and this album is truly one of her finest. Her version of Irving Berlin's "Isn't It A Lovely Day" is reason enough to pop for this disc; it's one of the most timeless jazz vocals I've ever heard.
One of my faves.... November 13, 2008
I got this cd when it came out and instantly loved it. For me, it's got the perfect balance of sweet songs and upbeat and it just flows. There's nothing better than a cd that flows. The songs are wonderful, but some of my favorites were "Isn't it a Lovely Day" and "I Was Doing Allright". When I'm in a jazz mood, I'll put this on and it works every single time. If you have loved any of her other work, you won't be dissappointed!
Possibly the best new artist out there for jazz!! November 12, 2008
Diana Krall is amazing. Her voice is smooth and sultry, her technical abilities on piano surpass most female jazzers out there, and her groove with the different groups she performs with is always in the pocket. Pick up this album NOW if you haven't!! You won't be disappointed.

 Hard to understand what happened ... July 31, 2008

Like others, I thought that this CD was a big come-down from her earlier work, specifically, the live in Paris recordings. However, without putting too fine a point on it, my impression when listening to it a second time (of a total of two), was that my lack of enthusiasm might have been driven more by the selections, with the exception of the title song, or the instrumenation / recording (had to concentrate to hear her piano work) than from Diana, herself.
She's a great! talent, get her Live in Paris DVD to be wowed!
