2009 Releases: Diana Krall, Boney James, Philippe Saisse

Diana Krall’s next recording, Quiet Nights, is a Brazilian jazz album coming out on March 31. After marrying Elvis Costello and giving birth, Diana says, “I feel more womanly, I guess, and I think this record is a love letter but very sensual, more on the erotic side. It’s definitely late night.”

Diana isn’t the one one feeling feeling amorous. Top-selling smooth jazz saxman Boney James has a collection of romantic covers and original compositions on the way. Send One Your Love will be out just before Valentine’s Day, on February 3.

Philippe Saisse’s debut on Koch Records. At World’s Edge. will be out on March 24. According to the press release, “At World’s Edge goes much deeper [than Saisse’s previous radio hits], weaving together a rich, melodic tapestry of progressive, impressionistic, and global threads.”

New Classical-Jazz Collaborations: Yo-Yo Ma/Krall, Grusin/Ritenour, Perez/Ogerman

It’s not often that I see this: three new classical-jazz collaborations in less than a month.

This week, Amazon has an exclusive download of a new collaboration between Yo-Yo Ma and Diana Krall. Two weeks ago, Decca released a new Dave Grusin and Lee Ritenour classical-jazz-folk collaboration, Amparo. It’s a follow-up to their 2000 classical-jazz recording Two Worlds. A week before that, Across the Crystal Sea, a Danilo Perez/Claus Ogerman recording came out.

I put them all in a carousel below so you can sample them (just click on the cover). I also added three other classical-jazz collaborations that immediately came to mind.
