~ First time ever, four time Grammy award jazz singer, Dianne Reeves performs two concerts at the Teatro ~
The internationally acclaimed four-time Grammy Award winning singer and doyenne of jazz, Dianne Reeves will perform in South Africa for the first time at the Teatro at Montecasino, Johannesburg for two concerts only on Thursday August 4 and Friday August 5, 2011 commencing at 8pm.

Born and raised in Denver Colorado, USA, Dianne Reeves is the only singer to have won “Best Jazz Vocal Performance” category for three consecutive album recordings namely In The Moment – Live in Concert (2001), The Calling: Celebrating Sarah Vaughan (2002) and A Little Moonlight (2003). This is a first in any Grammy Award category.

In 2006 Ms Reeves received her fourth Grammy Award for the soundtrack of George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck”, the Academy Award nominated film (in which she also appeared) that chronicles Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation with Senator Joseph McCarthy.

Her virtuosity, vocal prowess and unique jazz and R&B styles has seen Dianne Reeves performing and recording with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. She has also recorded with Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim and was a featured soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic. Ms Reeves was the first Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the first singer to ever perform at the famed Walt Disney Concert Hall.

At the beginning of this year, Ms Reeves performed at the White House State Dinner for the President of China, Hu Jintao. In April, Ms Reeve’s performance at the 120th Anniversary Gala of the Carnegie Hall was hailed by The Boston Globe newspaper as ‘breathtaking’.

Hosted by and featuring James Taylor, the evening also included guests Barbara Cook, Steve Martin, Bette Midler, Sting and former president Bill Clinton. The New York Times said of Dianne's performance: "Although Ms. Reeves performed only one number, the Billie Holiday lament, 'Don't Explain,' it was a killer."

During the remainder of this year, Ms Reeves will tour internationally with Sing The Truth!, a production honoring the music and spirit of great female artists. Dianne Reeves joins Angelique Kidjo and Lizz Wright in continuing the legacies of much-loved South African artist, the legendary Miriam Makeba, Abbey Lincoln, and Odetta, and performing songs by other great women in music ranging from Billie Holiday to Lauryn Hill, along with selections of their own original songs.

The Dianne Reeves concerts are promoted by local promoter, Sponono Entertainment with media partner, KayaFM. Artists previously brought to this country by Sponono Entertainment include Gladys Knight, Peabo Bryson, Roberta Flack and most recently, Dave Grusin and Lee Ritenour who enjoyed a highly successful season at The Teatro.
