Utah Savage: Peel Me A Grape

Peel Me A Grape

I said I was a fan of jazz since I was very young. I love the late greats and the newcomers, but this is my favorite female vocalist, pianist, and songwriter. Her name is Diana Krall and she is married to the very lucky Elvis Costello, or was last time I heard.

These great photos of Ms. Krall are a little eye candy for us all. So Randal, feast your eyes and please your ears. And yes, we want a lot, don't we?

So, peel me a grape. And I just might give you my cornbread recipe.

Utah Savage said...: Fuck the corn bread, what about Diane Krall? Jesus. It's Jiffy. Jiffy cornbread mix. I follow the recipe on the box. This is my favorite female jazz artist playing these days. Pretend you've listened, looked at the pictures--it's the least you can do. Or I'll hunt you bastards down, and you know what I'll do, don't you?; July 25, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Billie Greenwood said...: I'm with you, Utah. Diana's wonderful. She's a featured singer in the movie DeLovely, one of my favs thanx to the music.

I'm lovin' all your music. So glad you learned links!; July 26, 2008 at 3:30 AM
Unknown said...: That was great! She's quite stunning..and she's married to Elvis Costello? trippy..Elvis is far from 'eye candy'.

Thanks US. ;); July 26, 2008 at 4:28 AM
Naj said...: I know Dianna Krall, and I love her too. Aren't Kanuks great? :); July 26, 2008 at 6:33 AM
Randal Graves said...: Utah, you gave your secret away. But maybe I'll peel the grape anyway in thanks for the eye candy. She's yummy.; July 26, 2008 at 9:38 AM
Non Je Ne Regrette Rien said...: U.S. - I bow to the greatness that is Diana Krall!; July 26, 2008 at 11:53 AM

Unconventional Conventionist said...: "Peel me a grape" is a good song, but I use a different one to cut through the herd:

"Lush Life"" by Billy Strayhorn

And surprisingly, you wouldn't first consider Queen Latifah in this jazz crew. But I tell you, I think this is one of the better recordings of; July 26, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Utah Savage said...: U C I had no idea. Lush Life is one of my all time favorites. And that's a nice lush arrangement. Thanks. Keep those jazzy suggestions coming.; July 26, 2008 at 5:55 PM
Commander Zaius said...: Listening to her right now. She is old style high class. Just her voice oozes sensuality.; July 26, 2008 at 6:52 PM
anita said...: sorry, US, I didn't mean to not comment Diana Krall. I LOVE her. And the thing about her is that she's not only an amazing jazz singer, she also plays a mean jazz piano as well.

And Dusty is right. Elvis is no 'eye candy.' I give her credit for not being superficial in her choice of a man. Because, as you know, men are never superficial in chosing their women.; July 26, 2008 at 8:59 PM
anita said...: and speaking of 'lush life' ... i love Nat King Cole's rendition. it's wonderful.; July 26, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Distributorcap said...: both Krall and Costello are amazing talents
