Attraction of the Telefonica Open Jazz 2009, singer Dianne Reeves performed in this Sunday afternoon (29) in Independence Park on the south side of São Paulo. Always very friendly, the U.S. confirmed its status as a diva and the constant comparisons that are presented with jazz icons like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. With a presentation of just over an hour, Dianne took the stage and celebrated the strong sun that was the beginning of the show. "I love the summer. Where I come from, is very cold it is good to be a warm and lively with people," he said.

With a powerful and versatile voice, the American impresses everyone with vocal variety, especially in more serious tones.

Dianne Reeves.....

Blue Note recording artist Dianne Reeves is the pre-eminent jazz vocalist in the world today. As a result of her virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings, Reeves was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings—a Grammy first in any vocal category. Reeves has recorded and performed extensively with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. She has also recorded with Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim and was a featured soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic. Reeves was the first Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the first singer to ever perform at the famed Walt Disney Concert Hall. Reeves worked with legendary producer Arif Mardin (Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin) on the Grammy winning A Little Moonlight, an intimate collection of ten standards featuring her touring trio. When Reeves’ first holiday collection Christmas Time is Here was released in 2004, Ben Ratliff of The New York Times raved, “Ms. Reeves, a jazz singer of frequently astonishing skill, takes the assignment seriously; this is one of the best jazz Christmas CD's I've heard.” Reeves appeared and performed in George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck,” the Academy Award nominated film that chronicles Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation with Senator Joseph McCarthy. The soundtrack recording of “Good Night, and Good Luck” provided Reeves her fourth Best Jazz Vocal Grammy in 2006. In 2007 Reeves was featured in a documentary on the remarkable and all-too-brief life of Billy Strayhorn and her next recording is expected in 2008.
