Dianne Reeves

Blue Note recording artist Dianne Reeves is one of the pre-eminent jazz artists in the world today. With a breathtaking voice that has been compared to the great Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae, she has won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for each of her last three recordings—a Grammy "first" in any vocal category. Reeves is a gifted and accomplished singer and recently scored a huge success with her appearance in George Clooney's acclaimed film Good Night and Good Luck. "An amazing voice, one of the best that jazz has boasted. It's powerful and intimate and full of emotion, and her range is stunning" (Boston Globe).
