DAME CLEO LANE
Join the legendary Dame Cleo Laine as she embarks on her first tour since the passing of her husband, Sir John Dankworth. Spontaneity is the catchword for Miss Laine's choice of repertoire, but her programs always include substantial representation from the great Broadway composers, almost inevitably including the work of the great George Gershwin. From the world of jazz, Ms. Laine frequently pays tribute to the unforgettable music of Duke Ellington. Of course, no Cleo Laine program would be complete without a sprinkling of her famous Shakespeare settings, some of them by her late husband Sir John Dankworth. Ms. Laine is thrilled to return to San Francisco to once again delight her fans with warm memories from a passing age in music and an iconic voice that has moved generations.

DIANE SCHUUR
Singing & Swinging With Deedles
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 the jazz of her parents' generation, 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. Born in Tacoma, Washington, in December 1953, Schuur was blind from birth. She grew up in nearby Auburn, Washington, where her father was a police captain. Nicknamed Deedles at a young age, Schuur discovered the world of jazz via her father, a piano player, and her mother, who kept a formidable collection of Duke Ellington and Dinah Washington records in the house. Some Other Time,Schuur's February 2008 Concord release, is a recording of songs by jazz artists whom she first discovered via her parents during her childhood and adolescent years. The album features songs by George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn, Rogers and Hammerstein and more. Long regarded - and sometimes criticized - as an artist who has walked a tightrope between jazz and pop, Schuur sees Some Other Timeas an unwavering statement about her commitment to the jazz tradition and its influence on her artistic sensibilities.
