The Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS audio tracks provided on this disc will play on a standard DVD player. While there's no denying that jazz-pop star Diana Krall's movie-star good looks went a long way toward endearing her to mainstream America, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Just as undeniable are Krall's gifts as a pianist and singer. Far from a crass populist, she's a subtle, nuanced performer who approaches her craft with an excess of skill and knowledge. This is apparent from the very beginning of THE LOOK OF LOVE, when Krall tackles the overly familiar Gershwin chestnut "S'Wonderful" not the way countless jazz singers have done in preceding decades, but in a style influenced by Joao Gilberto, who recorded the tune years before in a simmering bossa nova mode. This marriage of canny craft and artistic inspiration is repeated again and again throughout the album. Most of the songs here have been trotted out countless times by Krall's contemporaries and (especially) predecessors, but her thoughtful phrasing and low-key dynamic shifts match her unhurried, pastel piano style on each tune to bring out something special at the song's core.

When I obtained this DVD audio its original king jewel case was damaged and needed replacement - I have replaced the original king jewel case with a new one, which has slightly different dimensions around the cover hinges from those on the original case - This made it necessary to do some slight alterations to the back panel in order to make it fit perfectly into the replacement king jewel case - As can be seen in my accompanying image I have had to slightly expand the indentations in the right hand corners of the back panel, the back panel now fits perfectly into the replacement king jewel case. Condition of the DVD audio is EX with just two or three extremely light surface marks on the play surface which are barely visible under strong light and which have absolutely no effect on play. Booklet and back panel are in NM condition except for the necessary slight alterations to the back panel as described above. New king jewel case has a couple of very small and light surface marks, is otherwise in NM condition.
