Diana Krall plans summer dates with Chris Botti

Jazz vocalist Diana Krall 's schedule continues to build, with new tour dates now spanning the summer months as the singer continues to back her most recent album, "From This Moment On."

About half the shows on the Canadian singer's upcoming outing will be co-headlining dates with trumpet virtuoso Chris Botti , who is still supporting his 2005 album, "To Love Again: The Duets." Botti will provide musical accompaniment for Krall during their shows together; otherwise, Krall will be backed by her usual outfit, The Diana Krall Quartet.

Other highlights of the summer tour, which kicks off June 8 and 9 in Oakland, CA, include a four-night exclusive engagement at the Hilton resort and casino in Las Vegas, and an Aug. 17-18 stand at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where Krall will be backed by the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. A complete schedule of dates is included below.

"From This Moment On," Krall's 11th studio album of a career that began with 1993's "Steppin' Out," hit stores last September. The new set netted the singer a pair of Canadian National Jazz Awards in April: Female Vocalist of the Year and International Musician of the Year.

The album also won the award for Best Jazz Album at this year's Juno Awards, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys.
