Editorial Review: Amazon.com: For three decades, Dianne Reeves has been one of the most popular vocalists, thanks to her well-produced recordings and engaging live shows. On this date, recorded before an audience of 300 fans, Reeves weaves her trademark, hornlike contralto over smooth grooves that cross over mainstream jazz, contemporary pop, and world-music lines. Her band, featuring keyboardist Otmaro Ruiz and Wynton Marsalis's bassist, Reginald Veal, delivers the Cat Stevens-associated church hymn "Morning Has Broken," Mongo Santamaria's classic "Afro-Blue," and Cole Porter's immortal "Love for Sale." She also pays homage to jazz's Brazilian roots with her splendid, spirited readings of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste," a duet with guitarist Romero Lubambo, and Milton Nascimento's "Bridges." On her lyrical, midtempo "Come In," Reeves's cousin, keyboardist George Duke, turns in a brilliant solo, and "The First Five Chapters" is an autobiographical number inspired by author Portia Nelson. But the zenith of the set is "The Best Times (Grandma's Song)," her new version of her most requested song, "Better Days," which sings the praises and virtues of family values better than our politicians. --Eugene Holley Jr. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - No One Does Live Better"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! How's everybody doing tonight? You're my guests and this is my living room!" Hearing this, you know you're in for a real treat and Dianne does not disappoint. This is such a great live CD and Dianne's voice is so pure and clear. Every song is masterfully sung with beautiful twists and turns. The music is just awesome. My favorites are Suzanne, Afro Blue, and Morning Has Broken. Take this wonderful live journey with Dianne - sit back and enjoy. If you like this CD and you've never seen her live, you've got to check her out. The sista is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! Rating:  - At last, THE GRAMMYThis is the CD that made the world take notice. This is not her best body of work. She has giving loving fans better then this and never won a Grammy. This just tells you what a big talent the world has been missing. On studio recordings, Miss Reeves is above the game. Her live shows as this, can never be surpassed. I would love to see her make another live CD covering some of her other favorites. But, if you never saw her live shows this is a treat. Rating: - just call her...DIANNE REEVES, M.D.("M.D." in this case stands for musical doctor...) Those of us who have seen DR live know it is an experience unlike any other. Onstage, she makes her own rules and then breaks them-- seeming to constantly reinvent her songs/voice/ musical identity, all the while maintaining an intimacy with the audience that is as easeful as it is proufound/magical. I think that she does a number of very radical things with her music in general, and that her particularly radical style is exemplified by her performances on stage, and here in this album. When I say radical, I mean: somehow during the creative process of performing, she makes the radical choice to include the listener/audience over and over again EXPLICITLY in her creation. She has, I think, ...

Above all this, naturally, stands her voice: warm, deep, rich in coulour and expression contralto,a voice guided by a sense of rythm and technical mastership going from moaning, caressing, soaring, roaring, culminating with an ability to scat that leaves you speechles. This ... Read More: Rating: - Pure elegance of a songstressDianne Reeves has shown us once again why she is, indeed, this century's lady of song. Her rendition of Morning has Broken leaves open the simple yet intricate voicings of the instrumentation as her pure sound floats over the melody in an interpretation that could only be hers. Of special note and completely unique is her interpretation of "Travessia", called "Bridges", by Brazilian composer Milton Nascimento. This song was one of the first of his compositions that Milton ever performed live, but was well imprinted upon the minds of Brazilian fans by Elis Regina's passionately haunting rendition. Never before has so much justice been done to the bleedingly evocative cultural portrait that is Milton's music. The interpretation is reminiscent of ... Read More: |
