About this Article

Diana Krall says she felt reinvigorated making her new CD "Glad Rag Doll," which gave her a chance to escape the comfort zone of Great American Songbook standards on which the singer-pianist has built her reputation. "It's always exciting to do something where you surprise yourself and it's like, Wow, I didn't expect that,"' said Krall. "I felt it was time for me to do something which is about what I hear and I like, not a tribute to Nat Cole."
