Look! Up in the Sky! It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane…


During Diana Krall's July 4 show at The Centre at York University in Toronto, it was hard to ignore a low-flying jet as it made straight for its runway, cutting straight across the open roof of the tennis arena and nearly drowning out Krall and her trio.

You could see the musicians bracing themselves for the roar as it built in the distance, their eyes peeled on the sky, instead of their instruments.

In the middle of playing Jimmy McHugh’s Exactly Like You, Krall demonstrated some fast thinking, spontaneously detouring into a couple of ‘flying’ songs (Elton John’s Rocket Man and Fly Me To The Moon) then segueing right back into the classic McHugh tune.
