Description

Newly-remastered for vinyl as part of an overall Blue Note 75th anniversary vinyl reissue campaign spearheaded by current Blue Note Records President, Don Was.

Jazz vocalist and 4x Grammy-winner Dianne Reeves released I Remember in is joined by such musicians as Bobby Hutcherson, Billy Childs, Donald Brown and more.

When she wants to sing jazz, Dianne Reeves has always had the ability to reach the top of her field, but she has long seemed unable to make up her mind between jazz, R&B, world music, and pop. This Blue Note disc fortunately finds her mostly sticking to jazz and in consistently superb form. Reeves treatments of such numbers as Afro Blue (which is particularly memorable), Love for Sale, Softly As in a Morning Sunrise, How High the Moon, and McCoy Tyners You Taught My Heart to Sing all border on the classic. Joined by such illustrious sidemen as pianists Billy Childs, Mulgrew Miller, and Donald Brown; bassists Charnett Moffett and Chris Severin; and drummers Billy Kilson and Marvin Smitty Smith, plus guest appearances by vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, altoist Greg Osby, and guitarist Kevin Eubanks, Reeves sounds inspired by the company.
