Wedding bells for Krall and Costello

ArtsCanada

Victoria - Canadian jazz singer Diana Krall and singer-songwriter Elvis Costello are engaged to be married.

Krall's father, Jim, confirmed the news, adding that he had no details where or when the nuptials would take place.

Live in Paris , Krall's first concert album, recently won Vocal Jazz Album of the Year at the Junos and was named Best Jazz Vocal Album at this year's Grammy Awards.

Nanaimo-born Krall, 38, began studying music at the age of four. Raised on jazz standards, a 19-year-old Krall was playing piano at a local restaurant, when she was discovered by famed bassist Ray Brown. She released her first album Stepping Out in 1993 and her popularity grew steadily, but, it was Krall's 1998 album When I Look in Your Eyes that made her an international bestseller.

Krall and Costello, 48, met at the Grammy Awards ceremony in 2002. This January, the pair was seen shopping together in Nanaimo. They appeared together at the Grammy award ceremony in February, reuniting publicly again later that month to perform a duet at London's Old Vic Theatre.
