Although this is one of Ms. Krall's earlier cds, it's still one of my favorites. I am so enraptured by her rich and resonating voice and she leaves me wanting more and more of her interpretations.

The good: A well mastered CD. Excellent sound quality. Something other recording companies should follow. The copy I have is made in the E.U. I bought it for US$6 from Mumbai, IN.
The bad: I listen to all kinds of music. I take risks while purchasing CDs & I have discovered some great gems along the way. Nina Simone was one such great discovery for me. I bought this CD based on positive reviews here on Amazon. This is by far the coldest & most uninspiring music I have ever heard. Buyer's remorse is killing me right now. I'll never buy CDs ever again without listening to samples.

Almost all of Ms. Krall's CDs are fantastic, but this one is utterly stunning. What are you waiting for? Get up there and hit the BUY NOW button before any more of your life is wasted. You NEED this one, baby!
Diana Krall scored a hit of her own with this very beautiful tribute to The Nat King Cole Trio. All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio certainly could have had more than twelve songs to it; but what we do get is choice material! Diana sounds great and the emotion in her voice is touching. The artwork is very pretty and the quality of the sound is excellent.
"I'm An Errand Girl For Rhythm" has a great jazzy arrangement; and Diana handle the subtle tempo changes like the champ she was and still remains! The music that goes along with her singing is very well done. "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You" is a major highlight of this CD; Diana delivers this by giving her blood and the piano solo is enchanting to say the least. "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You" is an example of The Nat King Cole Trio at their very best when interpreted by a modern day artist. Similarly, "Frim Fram Sauce" was always a favorite Nat King Cole Trio tune of mine. Diana sings "Frim Fram Sauce" to perfection--and beyond! Diana sings this like the professional chanteuse she is; and the catchy melody along with the memorable lyrics make "Frim Fram Sauce" a great number.
"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" is clearly a more somber, pensive number than "Frim Fram Sauce." "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," nonetheless, gets the royal treatment by Diana Krall and Nat King Cole and his buddies would be proud if they heard this today! "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" is yet another major highlight of this CD.
"Hit That Jive Jack" has a great 1940s rhythm to it; and "Hit That Jive Jack" really DOES swing and that's grand. "I'm Thru With Love," on the other hand, reverts to a more somber type of torch song that reminds me of what the great Billie Holiday might sing. Diana delivers "I'm Thru With Love" with great sensitivity and panache and the musical arrangement complements her singing flawlessly. Listen also for "A Blossom Fell" with its very beautiful piano playing. "A Blossom Fell" gets a fine treatment by Diana and the musicians who never miss a beat. The CD ends very well with Diana Krall performing "If I Had You." "If I Had You" simply must have been an instant classic; this number has class and Diana infuses it with a certain type of romantic flair that strikes me with its magnificence.
This is certainly an "essential recording" as Amazon claims it to be! I highly recommend this album for fans of the great Diana Krall; and people who remember The Nat King Cole Trio will enjoy this as well. The terrific musical accompaniments come to us mostly by Russell Malone on guitar and Paul Keller on bass. In addition, people who like classic pop vocals will not be disappointed.
