Part of the 2012-2013 Jazz at the Lobero Series
Santa Barbara, CA, February 9, 2016 – Jazz at the Lobero welcomes Dianne Reeves on October 19, 2012 as part
of the Jazz at the Lobero 2012-2013 season. Dianne belongs to the pantheon of great jazz singers such as Ella
Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. She engages audiences with her strong, multi-octave voice, rhythmic virtuosity and
powerful storytelling style to create a jazz-world-pop-bop synthesis that the Boston Globe calls “breathtaking.”
Her virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings have earned her the Grammy for Best
Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings—a Grammy first in any vocal category.
Ms. Reeves has recorded and performed extensively with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra,
recorded with Chicago Symphony Orchestra and has been a featured soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin
Philharmonic. She was the first Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the first singer to ever
perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Ms. Reeves also appeared in the Academy Award-nominated film and
soundtrack for Good Night, and Good Luck. The soundtrack recording provided her fourth Best Jazz Vocal Grammy
in 2006. Jazz Times has praised her multi-faceted career by saying, “most female vocalists find one musical bag
and hang on to it. We’re fortunate that Dianne Reeves doesn’t settle for one style fits all.”
“Her three-plus octaves, diva-like delivery and intimate sense of a song have long made her one of the most
compelling vocalists in jazz.” ― Seattle Times
“She roams and explores, growls and catches at notes and phrasings. It is this audacity that makes Reeves’
voice an awesome instrument.” ― People Magazine
Tickets for Dianne Reeves are on sale now at the Lobero Box Office and at Lobero.com.
Jazz at the Lobero’s season still has two incredible performances in store with Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour’s
star-studded 55th anniversary show on January 15 featuring Dee Dee Bridgewater, Christian McBride, Ambrose
Akinmusire, Chris Potter, Benny Green and Lewis Nash, and Brad Mehldau Trio and The Bad Plus on May 3.

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 CDs I've heard.”
In 2007 Reeves was featured in an award-winning documentary on the all-too-brief life of Billy Strayhorn. Her
first solo album in several years, When You Know, was released in 2008. Since then, she has been touring the
world in a variety of contexts including Sing the Truth, a musical celebration of Nina Simone which also featured
Liz Wright and Angelique Kidjo. Reeves began 2011 performing at the White House State Dinner for the
President of China, Hu Jintao. A new album is due later this year.
