Vocalist Dianne Reeves performs music from her beloved recording Christmas Time is Here, which includes her renditions of Carol of the Bells, Let it Snow, Little Drummer Boy, I’ll Be Home for Christmas and other holiday favorites.
Dianne Reeves is the pre-eminent jazz vocalist in the world today. As a result of her virtuosity and improvisational prowess, Reeves was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for four consecutive recordings -- a Grammy first in any vocal category.
When Reeves' first holiday collection, Christmas Time Is Here, was released in 2004, Ben Ratliff of The New York Times raved “Ms. Reeves, a jazz singer of frequently astonishing skill, takes the assignment seriously; this is one of the best jazz Christmas cd's I've heard.”
