She appeared in George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck”. The production received six Oscar nominations, and its soundtrack won a Grammy in the Best Jazz Vocal category. Reeves has also recorded with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. She has collaborated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim and appeared as a soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Dianne Reeves was the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s first Creative Chair for Jazz and the first singer to perform at the celebrated Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Reeves worked with legendary producer Arif Mardin, associated with Norah Jones and Aretha Franklin, on Grammy-winning “A Little Moonlight”, an intimate standards collection featuring her touring band. Reviewing “Christmas Time is Here”, The New York Times’ Ben Ratliff enthused: “Ms Reeves, a jazz singer of often astonishing abilities, takes the task seriously; this is one of the best Christmas jazz records I have heard.”
In recent years, Reeves has toured worldwide, including with “Sing the Truth”, a musical tribute to Nina Simone also featuring the wonderful singers Lizz Wright and Angelique Kidjo, familiar to Ethno Jazz Festival audiences. She has also performed at the White House on various occasions, including the State Dinner for the President of China and the Governors' Ball.
Dianne Reeves’s latest album, “Beautiful Life”, features contributions from Gregory Porter, Robert Glasper, Lalah Hathaway and Esperanza Spalding, among others. Produced by Terri Lynne Carrington, “Beautiful Life” won a Grammy for Best Jazz Performance in 2015. Reeves has received honorary doctorates from Berklee College of Music and the Juilliard School. In 2018, the National Endowment for the Arts named her a Jazz Master, the highest honour the United States bestows on jazz artists.
