Live in Paris was recorded at the Paris Olympia on November 29 through December 2, 2001 during Diana Krall's 2001 world tour. Meticulously produced by Tommy LiPuma (known for his work with Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, and Natalie Cole on Unforgettable: With Love) and engineered by Al Schmitt for Verve Music, this is a live album that, except for the clapping in between songs, sounds like a studio album. It won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album and a Juno Award. Not only does the setlist include ballads, bossa nova, and standards by Peggy Lee, Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter, and Gershwin, but Krall also performs covers of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" and Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You." At the time of its release, Live in Paris revealed Krall's promising future as a jazz vocalist. The complete album setlist includes: 1. I Love Being Here With You (Peggy Lee, William Schluger) 5:12 2. Let's Fall in Love (Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler) 4:34 3. 'Deed I Do (Walter Hirsch, Fred Rose) 5:17 4.
