Eight Gigs: Dianne Reeves
Tue., Feb. 14, 8 p.m., Mondavi Center, $12.50-$58
Five-time Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves has long been a genre buster, relying heavily on jazz as the form in which she delivers her best and most consistent work. Performing live, she glides easily from jazz to R&B, Latin and pop music, remaining emotionally honest in her interpretations and never overdoing or glossing over any lyric or melody. Her last album, 2014’s Beautiful Life, showcased Reeves’ sublime gifts as a powerful singer and her ability to interpret other artists’ compositions with a sophisticated approach. She brings all these gifts and more to Davis on Valentine’s Day. 1 Shields Way in Davis, http://diannereeves.com.
