About...
In her first Blue Note album of new material in five years — and her first since providing the award-winning soundtrack to George Clooney’s 2005 film "Good Night, and Good Luck" — Dianne Reeves, one of the premier vocalists in the world, returns with When You Know, a stunning array of performances of old and new standards along with an infectious, uplifting new original.
The much-anticipated album by the four-time Grammy winner — the only singer to win the vocal category for three consecutive recordings in any singing category — showcases Reeves at the top of her game. Her versatility in song interpretation is unrivaled, a talent which is richly on display in each and every song. When You Know is Reeves most commercial offering in years, and will be a touchstone for singers in generations to come.
When You Know emerged following a period of intense touring for Reeves. Creatively revitalized during a break at home in Denver, she suddenly announced a desire to get into the studio right away, teaming once again with producer George Duke (Natalie Cole, Anita Baker), Reeves’ cousin and producer of two of her Grammy-winning albums: 2001’s In the Moment and 2002’s The Calling.
This album’s uniqueness can be attributed to Reeves having performed in an unusual musical context over the past year: two guitars and voice. Conceived by her manager, Darryl Pitt, for Europe’s Jazz Baltica Festival, the setting enabled her to discover new ways for her voice to both soar and seduce. Guitar masters Russell Malone and Romero Lubambo joined Reeves for the performance and the result was magical. As a result, a 25-date European “Strings Attached” tour was booked — concerts that are still being talked about.
“What a wonderful experience,” enthused Reeves. “Every night I couldn’t wait to get onstage. Romero and Russell come from such different places, with different textures and colors, and there I was sitting between them. The music just took hold of me and I discovered new ways in which to sing. They gave me so much love and this record came out of that.” (www.diannereeves.com)
