Gala Artist - Diane
Reeves
Blue Note recording artist Dianne
Reeves is the pre-eminent jazz vocalist in the world today. As a
result of her virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and
R&B stylings, Reeves was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal
Performance for three consecutive recordings - a Grammy first in any
vocal category.
Reeves appeared and
performed in George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck,” the Academy
Award nominated film that chronicles Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation
with Senator Joseph McCarthy. The soundtrack recording of “Good Night,
and Good Luck” provided Reeves her fourth Best Jazz Vocal Grammy in
2006. Reeves has recorded and performed extensively with Wynton
Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. She has also recorded
with Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim and was
a featured soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic.
Reeves was the first Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles
Philharmonic and the first singer to ever perform at the famed Walt
Disney Concert Hall.
Reeves worked with legendary producer Arif
Mardin (Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin) on the Grammy winning A Little
Moonlight, an intimate collection of ten standards featuring her
touring trio. When Reeves’ first holiday collection Christmas Time is
Here was released in 2004, Ben Ratliff of The New York Times raved,
“Ms. Reeves, a jazz singer of frequently astonishing skill, takes the
assignment seriously; this is one of the best jazz Christmas CD's I've
heard.” In 2007 Reeves was featured in a documentary on the
all-too-brief life of Billy Strayhorn. Dianne's first solo album in
several years, When You Know, was released on April 15, 2008.
