Paul McCartney 12 ноября текущего года представит публике не совсем обычный концертный фильм, получивший название «Live Kisses». В него будет включена джем-сессия самого маэстро и его коллег по сцене, прошедшая в феврале 2012-го года в Лос-Анджелессе, в Capitol Studios.В фильм вошли концертные версии композиций с новой пластинки Маккартни – сборника «Kisses On The Bottom», состоящего из интерпретаций популярных хитов сороковых-пятидесятых годов прошлого века. В честь выхода этой пластинки, в рамках промо-компании по ее раскрутке, и состоялась живая сессия.
Diana Krall has had a long time fascination with bossa nova, a type of music which perfectly suits her sophisticated yet sensual style. This culminated in her new studio album "Quiet Nights" (released by Verve in spring 2009) and in this stunning concert filmed in the home of the bossa nova, Rio de Janeiro, in November 2008. Accompanied by her band and an orchestra, Diana Krall delivers a superb set of standards in true bossa nova style but clearly bearing her unique stamp. This DVD captures Diana Krall at her scintillating best.
Recorded live at the Paris Olympia on December 1, 2001, Krall's classic style blends equal parts artistic vision, hard work and determination. The British Columbia native began playing piano at the age of four and now has five stunning albums behind her. She made her debut with the critically acclaimed Only Trust Your Heart and the album topped the Billboard jazz charts for the most of 1998, earning Krall a Grammy nomination. She went on to win a Best Jazz Vocal Performance Grammy for 1999's platinum-selling When I Look in Your Eyes and became the first jazz artist in 25 years to be nominated in the Album of the Year category.
