DIANNE REEVES | Live in Montreal
TRACK LISTING Broken Afro Blue Mood Indigo Yesterdays Summertime Nine In Your Eyes River Testify Endangered Species Mista Love For Sale
The most versatile voice in contemporary jazz in performance at the 2000 edition of the Montreal Jazz Festival. Over the past 15 years as a recording artist, Dianne Reeves has earned two Grammy nominations and endless critical praise - but it's in live performance that Reeves truly shiners, when her gorgeous voice, her spontaneity and her intuition combine for a very special music evening. Dianne Reeves is renowned for her wide-ranging choice of material, and the numbers on this evening's program include standards, compositions by artists as diverse as Mongo Santamaria and Joni Mitchell, and Reeve's originals. In the artist's own words, music should have "no boundaries," and in Reeve's singing the strengths of jazz, R&B and gospel - and of Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean - come together in a glorious fusion. |

Recorded live in Salzburg's Mozarteum in March 2001, this DVD captures Uchida's singular performance style: 'Uchida is, simply, Uchida - an elegant, deeply musical interpreter who strikes an inspired balance of head and heart in everything she plays.' Chicago Tribune 'Trust is so important for Mozart. His music is operatic, full of human situations and humour. It tells stories, pleads, and then forgives. If you can face the musicians with all this... it is wonderful.' Mitsuko Uchida |
