Diane Schuur sings the music of Frank Sinatra, Stan Getz and other Schuur catalog gems.
Long regarded as one of contemporary jazz's leading vocalists, two-time Grammy winner Diane Schuur is as eclectic as she is brilliant. With a career spanning four illustrious decades, she sings the treasured standards from the Great American Songbook with intimate tenderness, pitch-perfect execution and an assured sense of rhythm and phrasing.
Employing many of the top jazz players in the country, including two-time Grammy-winning saxophonist Ernie Watts, Schuur is an alluring entertainer. Possessing a crystalline, three-and-a-half-octave vocal range, she traverses a straight-ahead brand of jazz in her trademark style-simultaneously romantic and mischievous, radiating warmth and soulful passion.
