Krall back in the swing with latest CD

Diana Krall, "From This Moment On" (Verve)

Sultry songstress Diana Krall feels right at home on her swinging new release, "From This Moment On."

Luckily for Krall fans, she once again surrounds herself with longtime collaborators — including the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and producer Tommy LiPuma — to give the 11-song collection a familiar, yet comfortable, vibe.

Krall, who is expecting twins with husband

Elvis Costello, says the upbeat mood of the disc corresponds with a happier time in her life. The listeners reap the benefit.

There's a cohesiveness, and a depth of emotion to Krall's singing, that would seem to back up her assessment. From Irving Berlin's "Isn't This a Lovely Day" to Cole Porter's "From This Moment On," there's plenty to like for those who have picked up Krall's previous nine releases and for those discovering her for the first time.
