Diana Krall

@rpeluso, thanks for the info on the current show/tour.  Will be seeing her next Sunday in Charlotte and really looking forward to the line up you cited.  Saw her three times in San Diego back in the 90s at an outdoor venue named Humphrey's by the Bay--very intimate with 1400 seats (and we were typically in the first 7-8 rows) and of course, awesome acoustics.  The first time, it was just a trio of her, Christian McBride and Russell Malone which was IMO the perfect showcase for her voice and piano chops (each of those guys are pretty remarkable in their own right).  In each of the next two shows, a quartet/quintet set up.  The last time was in 2000 in Ft. Lauderdale in a much larger, indoor venue--decent show, but not a great venue (as compared Humphrey's). Her popularity had grown by that time so she was playing larger houses and more broader appeal (IOW, less "purist") jazz and standards.  Looking forward to seeing her next week and hopefully getting a bit of that throwback vibe!

@rpeluso. . .you are spot on that your OP was indeed an innocent attempt to share a positive experience you had.  Had you posted a question such as, "What do you think of Diana Krall?" then indeed that's an invitation to debate and opposing point of view.  

Regardless, you broke the rules--having the temerity to express a personal point of view that the arbiters of superiority deem incorrect is strictly forbidden and you MUST be taken to task.  You are wrong to enjoy Diana Krall, and you are wrong to post about it.  You are wrong to then defend it.  I know this to be a fact because others have said so.

I am wrong too--it is now a known fact by association.  I will be going to the concert this Sunday knowing I am wrong.  I now know that I should have spent my money seeing a different, "authorized" performer.  I'll hate the fact that I'm enjoying the show because that's wrong.  I'll be filled with self-loathing the entire time.  It will be great.
