When You Know

by: Dianne Reeves

Release Date April 15, 2008
Dianne Reeves "When You Know" again demonstrates her vocal abilities but I have to say, the songs are a little too standard. Her voice is capable of much more intricate tunes and hopefully she'll return to the unique stylings that one usually finds on her collections.

Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration

by: Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin, Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Take 6, Al Jarreau

Release Date September 29, 1992
I don't listen to all the tracks on this recording, but I've all but worn out 8, 12 and the final track, the Halleluia Chorus. Stevie with Take 6 is masterful, as well as Al Jarreau on the all-star big band session. The one disapointment that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the recording quality. I wanted to use Why Do the Nations... with Jarreau to audition a pair of high-end stereo speakers in the store, and the band sounded like they were recorded in a shoe-box. Unfortunate for such great musicianship and arranging.

Good Night, And Good Luck

by: Dianne Reeves, Original Soundtrack

Release Date September 27, 2005
This is a great and educational movie, but the soundtrack is what makes it! Dianne Reeves is at her very best on this cd, as she sings some of the oldies from the 40's and 50's. She doesn't force it, and her smooth voice breathes new life into some of these long forgotten songs. A must for anyone who loves the blues or late-night jazz.

Dianne Reeves

by: Dianne Reeves

Release Date October 25, 1990
This is a rare album. "Better Days" is a hauntingly soulful ballads with a hook that just won't let go. And "Chan's Song" is a beautifully crafted vocal rendition of Herbie Hancock's masterpiece. I had this album as a cassette tape years ago, and wore out the magnetism. Now I think I'll have to get it on CD. Just can't live without it.

The Calling: Celebrating Sarah Vaughan

by: Dianne Reeves

Release Date February 13, 2001
"The Calling is a celebration of The Divine One, as she was called by Dianne Reeves, a younger singer who shares many of Vaughan's gifts: a gleaming, pitch-perfect voice, a multi-octave range, and a harmonic sense that takes her on some remarkable flights of fancy. Like Vaughan, Dianne has a fondness for crossing musical borders as if they didn't exist." ~ James Gavin ~

I share James Gavin's sentiments written on Liner Notes about Dianne Reeves, whose artistry I first appreciated upon hearing some of her most remarkable recordings such as "Better Days," "Bridges" and "A Little Moonlight." Diane Reeves gives a beautiful and sincere tribute to a legendary jazz singer with the most recognizable voice, Sarah Vaughan. A chanteuse-extraordinaire herself, she performs ... Read More:
