I find this version thin and a bit sterile. Sinatra had an amazing ability to get inside a song and lyric and grip a listeners heart and soul. Sinatra owned this style because he invented it...and lived it. Not to mention his amazing pipes, phrasing and intonation. No contest.
@JadeTomZ - I am a BIG Sinatra fan, but hey, Diana Krall is not just a singer. She is literally in the mode of Nat King Cole, and jazz pianist first who didn't think she could sing until others told them to - in fact, her Nat Cole Trio tribute album is cool. Not just a singer.
I find Diana's version of this song very soothing and enjoyable. Actually, my favorite rendition of the song.

Diana is a great performer, no just a singer.
She plays a great piano and offers great renditions on standards.
She is a fine performer and a beautiful woman.

I love a lot of Diana's stuff, but I guess Frank will always "own" this song.
