Melbourne International Jazz Festival presents

Dianne Reeves

Hailed as jazz’s greatest living vocalist, the incomparable Dianne Reeves will bring the 2017 Melbourne International Jazz Festival to an unforgettable close with an evening of sophisticated and deeply soulful song. The most awarded female jazz vocalist of all time, among her accolades are a string of Grammy Awards, including an unprecedented three consecutive awards for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.

A musician with a gift for imbuing any performance space with the intimacy of a living room, Reeves was born into a musical family (George Duke was her cousin and frequent longtime collaborator). She toured with Sergio Mendes and Harry Belafonte in the 80s before launching her own stellar solo career by using jazz as a ‘passport’ to other styles, including latin, African, reggae, r&b, blues, and pop classics.

With her intoxicating stage presence, captivating voice and improvisational virtuosity, Dianne Reeves is a natural wonder not to be missed. Her highly anticipated return to Melbourne promises to be nothing short of legendary.

  • ok show

    by rg66766 on 11/15/15Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre - AtlantaRating: 3 out of 5

    both bands were to small for cobb ctr, audio was sub par, would have sounded better in a smaller venue

  • A great show!!

    by EZSTP on 11/15/15Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    What a wonderful night of entertainment! Dianne Reeves plethora of vocal variation pleased the crowd with numerous applauses. She has not aged one bit, still lovely and graceful with powerful stage presence. The band was extremely tight and back up Ms. Reeves with true showmanship. One of the most intriguing points noticed was, Dianne did her entire show without any backup singers! She is indeed a true musical icon and deva. FourPlay, well let's just say this "Unique, Polished Pure Silver, Quality." This sums up the disthinguist gentlemen who know their craft as musicians. Each member showed exactly why they are called FourPlay. They pull you into their music and leave you wondering and wanting more. They straight out jammed! And came back out for an on encore! Wow! What a wonderful and entertaining evening. Also, all the people who came out, you looked absolutely beautiful, there were men and women who looked like royality, I felt as if I had stepped into a blessed kingdom. My hat off to you Atlanta, you proved how to represent! Peace and good will to all of God's people! Amen!

  • Dianne Reeves is Amazing beyond Amazinh

    by Loveconcertsinatlanta on 11/15/15Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    Dianne Reeves was amazing. Her voice is flawless and I really enjoyed seeing her for the first time. It will not be my last. Cobb energy performing arts center was beautiful. It was my first time at this venue and it will not be my last for that either. Couldn't have picked a better combination for talent and location.

  • Great Concert

    by Snorkdog on 11/15/15Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    One of the best performances ever! Diane Reeves exceeded my expectations with her versatility and stage presence. Was a true pleasure. As a jazz fan, Four Play's performance was one of the best live performances even. It's rare to see a group of musicians who individually and collectively are the best at their craft. A truly great performance in every aspect. A true pleasure.

  • Grammy winner charms at Berks Jazz Fest

    by LostinMezz on 4/19/15Berks Jazz Fest - ReadingRating: 4 out of 5

    Dianne Reeves and her supporting combo dazzled at the Miller Theater with a wide range of tunes including her originals and also jazz-infused covers.of pop songs. Ms. Reeves also engaged the audience with short personal stories. She performs so effortlessly you forget how special her talent is.

    Dianne Reeves at Berks Jazz Festival was beyond expectation. Venue was comfortable and intimate. Ms. Reeves and her band made it an evening worth remembering

  • An evening with Diane Reeves - Berks Jazz Festival

    by Ravenwind on 4/15/15Berks Jazz Fest - ReadingRating: 5 out of 5

    I did not know what to expect, and was amazed at the range of Diane Reeves voice. Her casual but professional style made everyone relaxed to enjoy the show. Her band was also excellent and played traditional instruments rather than synthesized. They were true musicians. The entire experience was unforgettable, and certainly was worth the ticket price. The venue, the Miller Center for the Arts in Reading, PA was excellent also ! I would attend any other performance offered there, easy driving access and plenty of parking.

    Outstanding performance. The entire concert was professionally presented. Miss Reeves' voice range was incredible and her stage presence was very engaging.

  • Dianne Reeves

    by jazzy50 on 1/22/15Fox Tucson Theatre - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

    This was one of the best concerts I have attended in a long time. Dianne was personable, and a pleasure to witness her talent, as well as her exceptional band. Each member of her band was featured individually, and she sang a range of slow, be bop, and contemporary songs.

  • Dianne Reeves Fox Theatre Tucson 1/18/15

    by jazzguitar51 on 1/21/15Fox Tucson Theatre - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

    Outstanding concert and one of the best I have attended in years. Part of The Tucson Jazz Festival, it was thrilling to see Diane and her very tight band in a relatively small venue. Don't miss her on tour!

  • Bravo to Tucson Jazz Festival and UofA

    by PW64 on 1/21/15Fox Tucson Theatre - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

    What thrill we were all treated to this past Sunday. The incomparable singing of one of our greatest Jazz singers combined with the beauty of Tucson's Fox Theater. Couldn't have been better. Ms. Reeves was spectacular and her band awesome. From quiet bluesy numbers to rousing classics, she did it all and knocked it out of the ballpark.

  • A real treat

    by Jazxfan on 1/21/15Fox Tucson Theatre - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

  • Another amazing performance by Dianne Reeves

    by Anonymous on 10/14/14Jo Long Theatre - San AntonioRating: 5 out of 5

    She is still at the top of her game. Actually loved the re-harmization of some pop tunes she did. The band was smokin!

  • too much scat

    by MISTERB66 on 7/20/14Cain Park - Cleveland HeightsRating: 3 out of 5

    Diana actually sang very few complete songs. She has a great vocal range but did little actual singing. Disapointed.

  • Dianne Reeves' talent is not of this world!

    by Musicfannn on 7/20/14Cain Park - Cleveland HeightsRating: 5 out of 5

    The setting was peaceful & good for watching jazz! Dianne reeves' voice is so rich & moving! Were disappointed they started so late because we had to pick up our children so we missed part of show.

    Dianne Reeves, as usual, was AWESOME!!!! I have seen her several times and she continues to provide a wonderful entertainment experience!! She does not keep repeating her act, but brings a different exploration into her capacity and range each time. I hope that Cain Park will bring more music like this.
