Pre-show Talk with Nou Dadoun
Free event for Dianne Reeves ticket holders. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Presented by the Chan Centre
Nou Dadoun, host of Vancouver Co-op Radio’s A-Trane program, discusses the legacy of Dianne Reeves.
Earlier in her career, Reeves paid tribute to legendary jazz vocalists like Carmen McRae, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan, and proved herself in the crucible of their strongest joys and challenges – The Great American Songbook.
In the 21st century, Dianne Reeves has brought that jazz sensibility and passion to the music of her own experience and time, forging connections between gospel, African, fusion, Brazilian and soul to produce a personal jazz sound that comes from here and now.
In this talk, we’ll hear about the artists she has worked with along her journey to becoming the award-winning performer she is today.
