Dianne Reeves
Artist Overview
Perhaps the most traditional sounding of all contemporary jazz vocalists, Diane Reeves was born in 1956 into a musical family. (Keyboardist George Duke is a cousin.) Moving to L.A. in 1977, she first followed an eclectic path, performing with Eduardo Del Barrio, Sergio Mendes, Billy Childs, and Harry Belafonte before being signed to the newly revitalized Blue Note Records in 1987. Possessed of a lush voice much like her original model Sarah Vaughan--her tribute album, THE CALLING: CELEBRATING SARAH VAUGHAN, won a Grammy Award in 2001--Reeves's vivid recreation of a '50s-era late night recording session in the 2006 production GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK was a high-point of both her career and the film itself. The accompanying soundtrack also garnered Reeves her fourth Grammy in 2007.
