Dianne Reeves, Jazz Singer

Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Sat., Dec. 17, 5:40pm.
On Philadelphia: "There are certain places that just breed really fabulous musicians, and Philadelphia is one. The roots are so strong here, and they come out of gospel, R&B, blues and jazz. I started coming here in the late '80s to perform, and there would always be these amazing audiences. I played Penn's Landing, and this little club called Chestnut Cabaret. I think if it weren't for Philadelphia, I probably wouldn't have the career I have because my music was embraced here first. Every time I come to Philadelphia, and I usually get here every year in some way, it's always been rich." (Interview by Cassidy Hartmann)
Dianne Reeves appears in Good Night, and Good Luck, a movie about Edward R. Murrow, and is featured prominently on the soundtrack.
