Diana Krall performing at the Peppermill Tuscany Events Center, August 2009
Krall was born into a musical family in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. Her father Jim Krall's large record collection helped to expose the young Krall to jazz legends. At age seventeen she won a scholarship from the Vancouver International Jazz Festival to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. In Nanaimo, her playing attracted the attention of famed bass player Ray Brown and drummer Jeff Hamilton. After hearing her play, Brown and Hamilton persuaded Krall to move to Los Angeles, and study with pianist Jimmy Rowles, with whom she began to sing. This also brought her into contact with influential teachers and producers. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York and the rest, as they say, is history. (taken from Wikipedia)
