DIANA KRALL TO RELEASE NEW DVD: LIVE AT THE MONTREAL JAZZ FESTIVAL

Video capturing vocalist/pianist/songwriter's summer 2004 performance at the world-famous musical event

A new DVD by Diana Krall entitled Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival. This video documents Krall's appearance at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec on 29 June 2004. This performance was a highlight of the 25 th Annual Montreal Jazz Festival.

Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival features Diana Krall on vocals and piano along with her band of Anthony Wilson on guitar, Peter Erskine on drums and Robert Hurst on bass. Most of the songs performed here are culled from Krall's recent Verve release,The Girl in the Other Room.

The album, which has been certified Gold in the US and Australia and double Platinum in Krall's native Canada, marked a change in that it showcased for the first time Krall's skills as a songwriter. Many of the album's songs were penned by Krall and her husband, Elvis Costello. Some of the Krall/Costello compositions featured on Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival are Abandoned Masquerade, Departure Bay and Narrow Daylight. The DVD also features Krall's concert opener, the original instrumental Sometimes I Just Freak Out .

Krall also interpreted songs from a wide range of artists for The Girl in the Other Room, including Tom Waits (Temptation), Mose Allison (Stop This World), and Joni Mitchell (Black Crow). Live performances of all of these can be seen on the Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival DVD.

GRAMMY®-winner Krall revisits some classic favourites from her earlier Verve and Impulse recordings on this new DVD as well. During this performance, she included All or Nothing at All from her album Love Scenes and East of the Sun (West of the Moon) and Devil May Care from When I Look in Your Eyes .

Special bonus features on the Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival DVD include the music video for Narrow Daylight, a photo gallery, artist biography and discography.
