Collection (1986) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

Released in 1989, Collection sums up Diane Schuur's first five GRP albums, a period when she achieved a level of acclaim that tailed off somewhat in the '90s. What has been gathered together here is often very impressive, her rich, full voice keening over carefully wrought, beautifully recorded lush backdrops (with real or electronic strings), ...

Diane Schuur & the Count Basie Orchestra

Diane Schuur & the Count Basie Orchestra (1987) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

This CD features a logical combination: singer Diane Schuur with the Count Basie big band. In what would be longtime rhythm guitarist Freddie Green's final performance, Schuur and the Basie ghost band (under the direction of Frank Foster) perform material that includes her standards (such as "Deedles' Blues" and "Climbing Higher Mountains"), Dave ...

Swingin' for Schuur

Swingin' for Schuur (2001) more music like this

by Diane Schuur & Maynard Ferguson

Well regarded as one of our greatest living jazz singers, Schuur seems to enjoy album titles created out of puns of her name -- prior to this there was Friends for Schuur -- but don't let the novelties distract you from this sassy, explosively brassy swing project blending her inventive vocals with Ferguson's blistering trumpet and the ensemble ...

Pure Schuur

Pure Schuur (1991) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

Diane Schuur has always been one of the world's greatest modern jazz voices, and her purity on this collection makes for her most artistic yet accessible statement to date. She may be broadening her scope to include pop, but she's also sure to pay homage to her jazzy upbringing, most notably on her stunning renditions of "Unforgettable" (the same ...

Love Songs

Love Songs (1993) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

The jazz content on this CD from singer Diane Schuur is rather slight, but this is actually one of her finest recordings. Schuur (who has a lovely voice) sings straightforward versions of ten veteran ballads while accompanied by one of two string orchestras. Tom Scott on reeds and trumpeter Jack Sheldon have short spots, but this is very much ...

Midnight

Midnight (2003) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

On this set, Diane Schuur performs 13 songs written or co-written by Barry Manilow, most of which are new. On first glance, the project may not seem to have much potential, particularly if one thinks of Manilow's pop records. However, other than a charming vocal duet on the closing "Anytime," Manilow is not on this date and the emphasis is on ...

Contemporary Jazz Christmas

Contemporary Jazz Christmas (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Love Walked In (1995) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

This set of ten concise standards (which totals in at around 36 minutes) finds Diane Schuur singing in prime form. The interpretations are straightforward, without much improvising, although Schuur is quite soulful, showing the influence of late-period Dinah Washington (whose hit "Blue Gardenia" she revives). The excess of Schuur's early years is ...

Heart to Heart (1994) more music like this

by Diane Schuur & B.B. King

B.B. King is more than just one of the greatest masters of electric blues guitar; he is also an extraordinarily gifted singer. His talents on his instrument are so great that they tend to eclipse his soulful and sophisticated singing voice, but any who might possibly have doubted his ability will do so no more upon hearing Heart to Heart. On this ...

GRP: On the Cutting Edge (1989) more music like this

by Various Artists

This compilation represents the "height" of the GRP years, when everything Dave Grusin and his associates touched seemed to turn gold. In terms of the music being on the "cutting edge," the question remains: cutting edge of what , exactly? That said, there are some fine performances here, both instrumental and vocal, from Diane Schuur, Eric ...

Music Is My Life (1999) more music like this

by Diane Schuur

While most jazz singers probably do not improvise enough, in the case of Diane Schuur, the less she gets away from the melody the better. The reason is obvious: Schuur has a beautiful voice but she rarely seems to know what to do with it! Her improvising can be screechy and erratic. Fortunately, Schuur mostly sticks to the themes on this strong ...
