Stepping Out, Diana Krall's historic debut recording for Justin Time Records, is an unpretentious, timeless recording that showcases Krall's strong musical choices, excellent taste and unbridled energy. Produced in Los Angeles by label founder Jim West, it's unadulterated jazz from start to finish, with the young, enthusiastic Diana expertly supported by bassist John Clayton and drummer Jeff Hamilton. Notable also is the appearance of Diana's first original composition, "Jimmie," named for her father and Jimmie Rowles, both huge influences. An exciting debut that amply displays the artist's future promise, it's also one that fares well with each new listening. From Read more on Last.fm.
