Paul McCartney’s Egypt Station is a moving statement from a guy who’s found love and now wants the rest of the world have it too. And it proves that McCartney is still having lots of fun in the studio — no more so than on “Back in Brazil,” the album’s weirdest and freshest track. McCartney plays nine instruments on the recording (he even recorded the birds chirping at the beginning); over a lounge beat, he tells the story of a couple dealing with the changing tide of a relationship.

Los Angeles — Diana Krall knows how to pay tribute to Neil Armstrong.
The jazz singer-pianist tenderly played the standard "Fly Me to the Moon" during a Saturday concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
She once was lucky enough to share a glass of wine with the first man to walk on the moon, Krall said. The astronaut died Saturday at 82.
"He's probably thinking, `Do I have to listen to that song again?'" Krall said lightly, after gazing up at the night sky from the stage of the outdoor amphitheater.
The musician, who sent her love out to Armstrong's family, also had a message for her husband, Elvis Costello.
She performed the classic tune "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," changing the lyric to "his face," then said she sang it with Costello in mind on his birthday. The rock musician turned 58 on Saturday.
"Happy birthday, EC," Krall said later...

After nearly five years away from Canadian concert stages, Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist and pianist Diana Krall returns with a new tour in celebration and in support of her new Verve CD Quiet Nights, to be released in late March. To fully showcase the sumptuous arrangements of Claus Ogerman on both Quiet Nights and Krall's material from Look of Love and When I Look in Your Eyes, Ms. Krall will be accompanied in concert by her usual sidemen Anthony Wilson (guitars), Jeff Hamilton (drums), John Clayton (bass) plus a 45-piece orchestra under the direction of conductor Alan Broadbent. Influenced greatly by her many tour performances in Brazil, Ms. Krall refers to her new work as "not coy, like Peel Me a Grape, but womanly - like you're lying in bed next to your lover and whispering this in his ear." From Krall's refreshing version of "Where or When", to an...
