Review: Diana Krall deserved better as fans make a very early exit
Briefly

The article discusses how some Diana Krall fans attending her jazz concert at the Mountain Winery expect more vocals and less instrumental improvisation. Despite her talent and the band's excellence, many concert-goers seemed displeased, resulting in numerous early exits. The author notes that not all fans come to appreciate the essence of jazz performances, which include lengthy musical passages where the band showcases their skills. This disconnect underscores a fundamental difference in expectations from Krall's audience, with many treating her music more akin to pop rather than true jazz.
During her concerts, vocals are just a part of the attraction. Jazz cats get this and appreciate the lengthy spotlights given to Krall's bandmates.
It was so bad that the lower bowl, which was packed at the start of the show, was basically half empty during the later stages of the vocalist-pianist's roughly 100-minute performance.
But apparently not all first-time concert-goers realize this before heading off to a show.
She's a jazz artist. And she puts on jazz shows which certainly included the one she delivered on Friday night at the beautiful Mountain Winery.
