Diana Krall takes off

Coolness: listen to pianist/singer Diana Krall's extended interview on NPR's Morning Edition.

Jazz pianist and vocalist Diana Krall became a Grammy winner putting her distinctive stamp on other people's music, bringing enormous emotional power to old standards. But now she's writing her own tunes, in an evolution unpopular with some of her fans and some critics, as well.

Her concert in Houston last July, as noted then, was first-rate, funkier and more soulful than expected. She's taking off in new directions.
