The depth of feeling which lies behind the beautiful facade of Diana Krall's highly successful Verve releases has always been known to her most appreciative listeners.

"The thing about Diana is her musicianship," Al Schmitt said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "More than most singers, she knows what's right for her, and she knows how to make it happen musically."

"Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival" features Diana Krall on vocals and piano along with her band of Anthony Wilson on guitar, Peter Erskine on drums, and Robert Hurst on bass. Most of the songs performed here are culled from Krall's Verve release, "The Girl in the Other Room".

The album, which has been certified Gold in the U.S. and double Platinum in Krall's native Canada, marked a change in that it showcased for the first time Krall's skills as a songwriter. Many of the album's songs were penned by Krall and her husband, Elvis Costello.

Some of the Krall / Costello compositions featured on "Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival" are "Abandoned Masquerade," "Departure Bay," and ""Narrow Daylight." This DVD also features Krall's concert opener, the original instrumental "Sometimes I Just Freak Out," a song which is not available on the U.S. version of her latest CD.

Krall also interpreted songs from a wide range of artists for The Girl in the Other Room, including Tom Waits ("Temptation"), Mose Allison ("Stop This World"), and Joni Mitchell ("Black Crow""). Live performances of all of these can be seen on this DVD.

Grammy-winner Krall revisits some classic favorites from her earlier Verve and Impulse! recordings on this new DVD as well. During this performance, she included "All or Nothing at All" from her album "Love Scenes" and "East of the Sun (West of the Moon)" and "Devil May Care" from "When I Look in Your Eyes".

Special bonus features on the "Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival" DVD include the music video for "Narrow Daylight," a photo gallery, artist biography and discography.
