Natalie Cole's transition from R&B diva to sophisticated pop-jazz crooner is nothing new (cf. Unforgettable, her early '90s tribute to father Nat 'King' Cole), but it comes to its fullest fruition with this 90-minute, 18-song performance, recorded in London with a full orchestra. The 2002 show (originally aired on PBS) celebrates the release of Cole's Tommy LiPuma-produced CD of the same name, and the majority of the songs from that album are heard here, along with 'This Will Be,' her first solo hit, and others. Cole is also joined by Diana Krall for two numbers, including a swinging 'Route 66' (popularized by Cole's dad half a century ago), while Krall performs the Gershwin standard ''S Wonderful' solo, adding a sultry, understated vibe to the proceedings. Nothing particularly challenging here, but Cole has clearly found her footing. A 17-minute interview with the singer highlights the DVD bonus features. --Sam Graham

Rating: - Natalie Cole - Ask a Woman Who Knows
Natalie Cole is a class act.
I loved this album. She is a great singer with terrific arrangements, and a great choice of songs. I would highly recommend this album. She can sing it all from jazz, ballads to swing. And, what a nice touch to do a duet with Diana Krall,...another class act.
Rating: - She's still got it!
From the look of this wonderful concert, it's hard to believe that Natalie Cole is a 50-something diva who gleefully aped Aretha Franklin and Nancy Wilson in the 1970's. Looking beautiful and at least fifteen or twenty years younger, Natalie Cole gives a low-key but stellar performance here. This concert features mostly a set of wisely-chosen show tunes from "Ask a Woman who knows," her latest album of standards following the tradition of "Unforgettable." I actually caught the "Unforgettable" ... Read More
Rating:  - Swinging like her daddy
There are surprisingly few good jazz dvds out there these days. Diana Krall Live in Paris is one of the best. This one is mighty good too. And as a bonus we get Diana making a guest appearance for 3 songs. I gave the Krall dvd 5 stars (see my review), so a little surprised to see Natalie outshine Diana here. Natalie sings with more energy and style, and a touch more soul. This is a great performance, with the help of a swinging band that can really belt it out. Sound quality is first rate, although ...

Rating: - Cole adds glamour to live jazz
This exclusive PBS musical is easily Natalie Cole's best comeback in spotlight after the UNFORGETTABLE 10 years ago, her reunion spell with producer Verve record label Tommy LiPuma is no less as diva-ish as ever. The same titled album equally saw Cole in a recognised new height the same year, better still she's not doing a tribute to her great Dad but sparkles on her own.
Cole effortlessly adds glamour to live jazz with her great swinging vocal and natural womanly sophistication. The crowd adored ... Read More
Rating: - ...with someone who knows ~
This DVD is good for a relaxing evening of jazz oriented sounds and the pleasant views of Ms. Cole, her guest, and musicians. The entire DVD seems to be geared towards those of us who value peace, relative quiet, and a meditative experience. I love Natalie for doing this concert. It's where I go when I want to escape to paradise...with someone who "knows."
