Dianne Reeves
Meet the artist
A jazz vocalist with a rich range and strong improvisational instincts. Standards, soul and varied rhythmic influences meet in her expressive, often conversational approach to a song. She uses vocal colour across a wide range to shape a song's story.
Timing and breath bring out feelings in the words rather than simply tracing the melody. Scat passages turn the voice into an instrument in conversation with the band. The contrast between powerful projection and quiet speechlike phrasing gives small gestures lasting emotional weight.
Where to start listening
In I Remember, attend to the spaces between words as well as vocal power, and hear familiar melodies take on a personal narrative.
