Dianne Reeves at Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

“Reeves’ voice, its rich, swoon-inducing timbre, her soaring range, and her go-for-it attitude when she bent melodies to her will and improvised scat solos.”
– Ottawa Citizen

“Reeves is a highly melodic vocalist with a deep sense of the blues and superhuman control over tone and pitch.”
– Seattle Times

“a dose of that soul fulfilling, head bopping, rhythmic cocktail of improvised jazz.”
– The AU Review

A show with Dianne Reeves goes far beyond passive consumption—incredibly expressive and effusive, this five-time GRAMMY award winner boasts a virtuosity that cannot be explained, only experienced. Possessing an unparalleled depth of tone and a far-reaching range, Dianne Reeves can easily sing whatever genre of music she so wants—R&B, blues, gospel, Latin, pop. Yet, it’s jazz that forms her musical foundation, a genre she continues to flourish and grow with.

Her virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings have earned her several accolades. She has won five GRAMMY awards thus far for Best Jazz Vocal Album, is the recipient of honorary doctorates from Berklee College of Music and the Juilliard School, and has been designated a Jazz Master by The National Endowment for the Arts—the highest honour the United States bestows on jazz artists.

Don’t miss the special evening with a true living jazz legend as she enchants you with soulful ballads, brilliant scatting and her undeniable vocal presence, accompanied by a quartet of exceptional musicians.
