Brazilian Audiences Inspire Diana Krall's New Album 'Quiet Nights' (3.31 Verve)

New York, NY. (Top 40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Diana Krall found plenty of inspiration for her new album 'Quiet Nights' (out 3.31 on Verve) during her recent trip to Brazil, both onstage and off.

"Everywhere you go you still hear the sounds of [Antonio Carlos] Jobim and bossa nova," the GRAMMY-winner explains. "I didn't really have a plan for my record, but then it became very clear after I got home from Brazil that I wanted to do 'The Girl from Ipanema,' to do 'Quiet Nights,' to do the Brazilian songs. The audience was a big part of that...I love Brazilian audiences!"

During one of her concerts in Brazil, Krall was touched by the audience's participation during her rendition of "The Boy From Ipanema."

"It was a very, very exciting, emotional experience," says Krall describing the concert. "And that's the reason why I did this record - because of the concerts we did and the enthusiasm that the audience had for the music we were playing."
