Diana Krall – This Dream Of You – Double Clear Vinyl Records
“This Dream of You” by Diana Krall is a deeply intimate and reflective album released in 2020, showcasing the Canadian jazz pianist and vocalist’s signature blend of subtlety, sophistication, and emotional depth. Named after the Bob Dylan song of the same name (which appears as the closing track), the album carries a dreamy, wistful atmosphere throughout, leaning heavily into themes of love, memory, and longing.
The album was produced by Krall herself and consists of recordings made over several years with legendary producer Tommy LiPuma, who passed away in 2017. Many of the tracks were originally part of earlier sessions that hadn’t been released, giving the album a sense of revisited emotion—like cherished letters opened years later. The arrangements are sparse and tasteful, often centered around Krall’s smoky vocals and elegant piano playing, supported by elite jazz musicians like John Clayton, Christian McBride, and Jeff Hamilton.
This Dream of You draws from the Great American Songbook and beyond, featuring standards such as “But Beautiful,” “Autumn in New York,” and Irving Berlin’s “How Deep Is the Ocean.” Each interpretation is delivered with Krall’s trademark restraint—never overstated, always intimate, as if sung in a quiet room to a single listener. The title track, Dylan’s “This Dream of You,” becomes a tender ballad in her hands, wrapped in a gentle rhythm and understated beauty, contrasting its folk origins with a distinctly jazz-inflected melancholy.
More than a typical jazz vocal album, This Dream of You feels like a personal statement from Krall—an homage to LiPuma, a reflection on time and memory, and a quiet celebration of love in its many forms. It’s a contemplative, late-night kind of record, perfect for slow moments, deep thoughts, and soft lights. While it may not have the commercial boldness of some of her earlier works, it offers one of her most emotionally resonant experiences.
