Diana's up for some Junos again this year. Awards will be on CTV in April, though I don't expect the jazz catagories on the telecast...
VOCAL JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR
From this Moment On Diana Krall
Start to Move Elizabeth Shephard
Fight or Flight? Kellylee Evans
Calling For Rain Lori Cullen
Messin’ Around Molly Johnson
ARTIST OF THE YEAR
Diana Krall
Gregory Charles
Loreena McKennitt
Nelly Furtado
Pierre Lapointe
As much as I love DK, Pierre Lapointe is brilliant - and hilarious - and more than deserves that particular award. I'm an ardent Elizabeth Shephard fan as well, and I think she's stiff competition for Diana in the vocal category.
And, Diana's fellow Nanaimo-gal-turned-New-Yorker Ingrid Jensen is up for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.
