Five-time Grammy winner and living legend DIANNE REEVES is the pre-eminent jazz vocalist in the world. As a result of her breathtaking virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings, Reeves received the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings – a Grammy first in any vocal category.

Reeves has recorded and performed with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra,  recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and was a featured soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic. She was the first “Creative Chair for Jazz” for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the first vocalist to ever perform at the famed Walt Disney Concert Hall.

 Reeves is the recipient of honorary doctorates from the Berklee College of Music and the Juilliard School.  In 2018 the National Endowment for the Arts designated Reeves a Jazz Master – the highest honor the United States bestows on jazz artists.  ­

As one critic wrote, “Dianne Reeves is a natural wonder not to be missed.”
