Dianne Reeves

11.07.2005

Live at Casino Barrière Montreux

 

Always on top form for her live performances, Dianne Reeves is a tremendous performer. A beautiful one at that. Her stunning physique makes one of the most charming singers around. She hesitated for a long while on what type of music she would choose, and went in all sorts of directions at once: pop, jazz, R&B and world. It's probably on the jazz scene that she displayed most talent. She recorded nine albums with the Blue Note label, the first, I Remember (1991) is without a doubt one of the most successful of her career. Then she succeeded in picking up a Grammy Award for best jazz singer in 2000, 2001 and 2003. Simply exceptional. (FFJM © 2005)

Whereas Jazz constitutes the Festival’s historic core, other styles of music were quickly integrated into the Festival, bound together by a common thread of mutual curiosity and enthusiasm.
