Dianne Reeves - NOSPR

As a result of her breathtaking virtuosity, improvisational prowess, and unique jazz and R&B stylings, she received the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings – a Grammy first in any vocal category.
With jazz as the base of her vocal stylings, Dianne Reeves freely mixes in pop, African, and South American influences as well as her vision, a combination that has led to her acclaim as a unique contemporary songstress.
Featured in George Clooney’s six-time Academy Award-nominated Good Night, and Good Luck, she won the Best Jazz Vocal Grammy for the film's soundtrack. 
Dianne Reeves has recorded and performed with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

Dianne Reeves’ music is unique. Next to Diana Krall and Cassandra Wilson, she is one of the top female jazz vocalists. She is the successor of such legends as Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald. Extremely musical, gifted with a phenomenal sense of rhythm, she combines jazz, R&B, and Latin sounds in a sophisticated manner. She can improvise bravely with scat, but above all, she remains a master of atmospheric ballads.
