MUMBAI: Grammy Award-winning jazz musician Diana Krall joins CNN's Talk Asia this weekend and talks to host Lorraine Hahn about her love of music and her latest album The Girl in the Other Room. The show airs on 16 April at 8:30 am, 8 PM, 10:30 PM and on 17 April at 4 PM and 8:30 PM

She says, "This was very literally personal about my experiences after my mother's death. Departure Bay is the song that I sort of keep close to my heart."

The Canadian-born jazz pianist and singer has also turned into a songwriter, and chats about the collaboration with her lyricist and husband, Elvis Costello, and the challenges of writing her own compositions.

"It's the creative process so some days it comes easily to you and it's improvised and you turn on the tape recorder and you can transcribe what you've improvised and then you work with that as a basis...There's no formula. Or...as an improvising piano player musician, I can work it out in concerts."

During the half-hour interview, Krall also discusses her success, and the importance of sharing her work with charity organisations. "I think that it's important that you keep focused on something that is your thing and you do as much as you possibly can. But my thing is for Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and for the bone marrow transplantation programme in Vancouver. You see how it helps people so it's such a good way to do that."

Additionally, Krall talks about her fascination with music from an early age, her evolvement as a performer during her ten-year jazz career, and her future aspirations.
