5.0 out of 5 stars Steppin' Out reaches for the stars, December 13, 1999

I'm a big fan of small combos and got into Diana Krall by accident. I first bought Love Scenes and fell in love with her voice and her piano arrangments. It was only natural to see where she came from so I bought her first album and can't stop listening to it. It's been a year since I got Steppin Out and I still cherish the tunes. Her arrangements are phenomenal and quite possibly the most beautiful song I've heard is track 10, 'Jimmie' a dedication to her father and her piano mentor.

Beautiful as beautiful can be.

This is Krall's first release. At this point, her playing took precedence over her singing; she simply hadn't yet become the world-famous vocal stylist she is now. Although I enjoy the later CD's, especially Live in Paris, this is the best example of Krall's piano style. It's fun, it's terrific trio work, and it isn't over produced. I wonder whether she would like to return to the piano trio work, and let go of super stardom?

There is a lot of soul inside this lady. Diana display some good, hard driving, funky piano playing. She's also a very good vocalist. Listen to the drive she gets into on her solo. Very good groove. Last but not least, she's accompagnied by a sensitive, supportive rhythm section : John Clayton on the bass and Jeff Hamilton on the drums.
