At this year’s Jazz Fest in November American vocalist Dianne Reeves is going to present her current album Beautiful Life. Her latest release stars among other guest musicians vocalist Gregory Porter whose performance will be as well enjoyed by local audiences at this year’s Jazz Fest.
The collaboration between Reeves and Porter on the above mentioned record was a result of unexpected meetings on the scene. The joint concert of these two exceptional vocalists in the United States next January is announced as a musical delicacy.
Dianne Reeves was born on this day in 1956. She recorded 20 albums so far and won four Grammys for Best Vocal Performance, her stage performances literally win over audiences like the one she held six years ago at the opening of 12th Jazz Fest. With her new album, as she said herself, she intends to remind her listeners how beautiful life is and how often we tend to overlook that.
We are going to listen and see Dianne Reeves on 07 November at 22.00, while Gregory Porter is going to open the 18th Jazz Fest Sarajevo with a concert on 04 November at 20.30.
Tickets for both shows can be booked until Friday at www.jazzfest.ba and in the meantime you can listen to the joint recording of Dianne Reeves and Gregory Porter. The song is called Satiated (Been Waiting), it was written by American composer and instrumentalist Terri Lyne Carrington, a Grammy award winner herself.
