When Norman Granz founded Verve Records in 1956, he immediately made the singer Ella Fitzgerald one of the label's shining identification figures. The albums of the "First Lady Of Song" became absolute bestsellers and earned her thirteen Grammy Awards as well as a special Grammy for her life's work in 1967. It is curious that just in the year when Ella Fitzgerald died, a young Canadian singer and pianist was preparing to follow in her footsteps. In 1996 Diana Krall released the album "All For You", with which she achieved her breakthrough with the public. All For You" stayed on Billboard's jazz charts for a whopping 70 weeks and also guaranteed Krall her first Grammy nomination.

"All For You" and "Love Scenes" were originally released on the Impulse!/GRP label, which has since become part of Verve. Krall didn't make her actual Verve debut until three years later with the Tommy LiPuma-produced album "When I Look In Your Eyes." It marked Krall's rise to international superstardom and the new figurehead of the resurgent label. Like Ella in the 1950s, Diana reached more than just pure jazz listeners. Proof of this was not least the nomination of "When I Look In Your Eyes" in the style-spanning Grammy category "Album of the Year". Albums followed with "The Look Of Love" (2001), "Live In Paris" (2002), "The Girl In The Other Room" (2004) and "From This Moment On" (2006), all of which went multi-platinum.

"The Girl In The Other Room" also presented Krall, often in collaboration with her husband Elvis Costello, as a songwriter for the first time.
