Stepping Out (Justin Time Essentials Collection) launched the career of one of our generation’s greatest Jazz artists. "Peaking at #3 on Billboard’s Jazz Chart, 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 an accompanist – she offers amazing asides in between vocal phrases – and as an absolutely A-one improviser." (Zan Stewart).
