Overview: A Return to the Intimate Standard

Turn Up The Quiet is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall, released in 2017. Following detours into pop and bossa nova, this album sees Krall return to her signature style: an exquisite and intimate reinterpretation of classic jazz standards from the Great American Songbook.

The record is a sophisticated journey through romance and reflection, featuring a stripped-down sound centered on Krall's sultry, "velvety soft" vocals and restrained piano playing. The title itself suggests the album's philosophy: emphasizing subtle arrangements and impeccable sound quality to make the intimate moments heard more clearly.

Interesting Facts

• Final Collaboration with Tommy LiPuma: This album tragically became the last recording produced by Krall's longtime collaborator and mentor, Tommy LiPuma, who passed away in March 2017, just weeks before the album's release. LiPuma produced many of Krall's most successful albums, including The Look of Love.
• Three Distinct Ensembles: To achieve varied textures, Krall used three different small-group lineups across the album, featuring an all-star cast of jazz musicians, including bassists Christian McBride and John Clayton Jr., and guitarists Russell Malone and Anthony Wilson.
• Award-Winning Recording: The album earned Krall a Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, and she also won the Producer of the Year award at the same ceremony, acknowledging her hands-on role in the album's creation.
• "Audiophile" Quality: Turn Up The Quiet was engineered and mixed by the legendary Al Schmitt at Capitol Studios, Hollywood. The recording is renowned among audiophiles for its pristine sound quality, often being used as a reference recording for high-end audio systems.
• Deep Reimagining of Standards: The album features a dramatically slower, more romantic, and almost cinematic take on classics like "Sway," transforming the normally upbeat rumba into a smoldering, reflective piece.
