Diana Krall

Diana Krall brings her piano-and-voice jazz to Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary on April 22, 2026. The Canadian pianist and singer shaped her sound early, from Nanaimo to Berklee, then Los Angeles under the wing of Ray Brown, refining a trio approach rooted in the Great American Songbook. On stage, she moves between swing, unhurried ballads and bossa nova, leaving space for conversation with her band.

Her repertoire often reaches back to the Nat King Cole spirit of All for You and the intimate focus of Love Scenes, through When I Look in Your Eyes and The Look of Love, and later projects like Turn Up the Quiet and This Dream of You. She also folds in originals co-written with Elvis Costello from The Girl in the Other Room. Live, the balance stays close to the song: piano lines that reply and nudge, bass and drums keeping the pulse close, phrasing laid-back and precise, arrangements that privilege nuance over effect.

This date in Calgary sets the frame for an evening where standards meet carefully chosen covers and a few originals, centered on voice, piano and the interplay that has defined Krall’s stage work.
