About Today
The Year of Tony Bennett wishes Diana Krall the very happiest of birthdays! We saw her at the Monterey Jazz Festival a few years ago and were blown away by her artistry and talent. And we haven’t stopped listening to Wallflower since it came out.
My favorite upbeat song of all rltime. Diane Kroll & Tony Bennett make a fine duet!
