"The most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday."

The New York Times

"Full house in UBC's Chan Centre: tier on tier of season subscribers all the way up to the grand rotunda. And, mid-stream in her scat singing riff, jazz diva Dianne Reeves breaks off her droll musical dialogue with bassist Reginald Veal for a bemused aside to the audience. "This here's no stage; this is a playground." It calls for a special kind of charisma to make a crowd of nearly 1,200 Vancouverites in their concert finery want to get down into the sandbox with you. But Reeves has got what it takes - a stage presence that supercharges her already well-known discographic repertoire to a whole new level of intensity."
