Smooth sounds from Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean – with a hint of gospel and R&B – characterize the world renowned jazz vocalist, Dianne Reeves.
Known for being the only artist to win Grammys for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings, Reeves has been compared to the likes of Carmen McRae and Billie Holiday.
Winston-Salem State University’s Lyceum Cultural Events and the Division of Student Affairs will present Reeves on Tuesday, ct. 16, 7:30 p.m. in the Kenneth R. Williams Auditorium.
Reeves’ musicianship offers powerful storytelling, and when her autobiographical hit “Better Days” debuted, many believed it onveyed the message of hope that sparked all of her work. Reeves is currently the Creative Chair of Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and she maintains an active touring schedule.
