Dianne Reeves has had a quite confusing calling. Blessed with a selfsame attractive voice and the ability to be the premier wind singer of this geological era, Reeves seems reluctant to stick to jazz. Her recordings are much sooner schizophrenic affairs, rarely arrival the heights of her exciting live performances. Reeves sang (and recorded) with her senior high schooling banding and was bucked up by Clark Terry, playacting with him while a college educatee at the Univesity of Colorado. She did sitting shape in Los Angeles starting in 1976, toured with Sergio Mendes (1981) and Harry Belafonte (1984), and number one started recording as a solo artist in 1982, presently becoming a conversant name on the festival circuit. Finally, in 1994, later on unfirm back and forth between jazz, pop, and African euphony, Reeves started to pull herself more to jazz, recording the first of several strong jazz sets for Blue Note.
