'Stepping Out' launched the career of one of our generation's greatest jazz artists. Diana Krall's 1993 debut shows that she had the goods right from the get-go. Krall sings with honesty, subtlety, and persuasion while playing the piano with head-shaking authority, both as accompanist - she offers amazing asides in between vocal phrases - and as an absolutely A-one improviser. 'The Justin Time Essentials Collection' introduces the album to a new generation of fans, but this time with an added bonus track from the original sessions - Diana's incredible arrangement of 'Summertime'.
