Diane Schuur Comes To The Rrazz Room 5/24

Jazz singer Diane Schuur comes to The Rrazz Room at The Hotel Nikko, 222 Mason, San Francisco CA. with a brand new show for a five day run, opening May 20 through May 24. Performances are at 8 PM with the Sunday, May 24 show at 7 PM. Tickets are $45-$49.50, and can be purchased at www.therrazzroom.com or directly through ticketweb.com or by calling 866 468 3399.

Vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur is as eclectic as she is brilliant. A longtime disciple of Dinah Washington and other legendary jazz singers of the '40s and '50s, Schuur has built a stellar career by embracing not only jazz, but also the pop music of her own youth during the late 1950s and '60s. In a recording career that spans nearly three decades – and includes two Grammy Awards and three Grammy nominations – Schuur's music has explored nearly every corner of the 20th century American musical landscape. The Rrazz Room show will be a mix of songs from her early years as well as songs from her latest album, Some Other Time.

Long regarded – and sometimes criticized – as an artist who has walked a tightrope between jazz and pop, Schuur sees Some Other Time as an unwavering statement about her commitment to the jazz tradition and its influence on her artistic sensibilities. "This album really is about coming back to the basics of my jazz roots," she says. "Not that I really completely left them, but there were a few detours along the way."
