Diane Schuur

One of the premier vocalists in jazz, Seattle native Diane Schuur -- nicknamed "Deedles" since the 1984 recording of the same name featuring saxophone icon Stan Getz -- is beloved around the world. She has won two Grammy Awards and headlined the most prestigious music venues including Carnegie Hall and The White House. She has also collaborated, toured and/or recorded with Quincy Jones, BB King, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Barry Manilow among many others. This engagement, marking her Birdland debut, is a double occasion in which Deedles will celebrate her recent 60th Birthday as well as preview material from her forthcoming CD "I Remember You: With Love to Stan and Frank," a tribute to her mentors Stan Getz and Frank Sinatra.
