“The most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday” (NY Times), five-time GRAMMY winner and 2018 NEA Jazz Master Dianne Reeves is jazz’s greatest living vocalist — an artist who embodies the music’s enduring values of elegance, class, and improvisational poise. Her string of GRAMMYs includes an unprecedented three consecutive Best Jazz Vocal Performance awards and another for her contributions to the soundtrack of George Clooney’s film Good Night and Good Luck.
She’s a performer with a gift for imbuing any performance space with the intimacy of a living room, and SFJAZZ audiences were treated to the breadth of her artistry during her stint as Resident Artistic Director in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 Seasons.
Reeves received the country’s highest honor for jazz musicians in 2018 with her recognition as a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, and she performed as part of SFJAZZ Executive Artistic Director Terence Blanchard’s score for Gina Prince-Blythewood's 2022 film The Woman King starring Viola Davis.
Whether putting a personal stamp on lilting Brazilian standards, exploring contemporary fare by Ani DiFranco and Stevie Nicks, interpreting American Songbook classics by Gershwin, Porter, and Berlin, or breathing fresh life into holiday chestnuts, Dianne Reeves always gets to the heart of a song.
