Dianne Reeves with Quintet and Orchestra

“She has one of the most powerful, purposeful, and accurate voices of this or any time.” — Wynton Marsalis

With her vocal prowess, it’s no surprise that Dianne Reeves has received five Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album, an honorary doctorate of music from Julliard, and was recently named a 2018 National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master. To close this special 50th Anniversary concert, Dianne will be accompanied by her quintet and by a full orchestra.

The SJW 50th Anniversary Band is truly a superband of musicians who have shaped the sound of jazz in recent decades. The astonishing artists of this ensemble share one additional thing in common: time spent at SJW as young jazz musicians. Now they’re going to be raising a glass — and their horns and voices — to celebrate 50 years of the Stanford Jazz Workshop.
