DIANE SCHUUR HOLDS CD RELEASE SHOW AT THE BLUE NOTE JAZZ CLUB

Diane Schuur, the acclaimed vocalist and pianist, will celebrate the release of her new Concord Records CD, "Some Other Time," with an exclusive engagement at the THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592 - http://www.bluenote.net/) from Tuesday, March 4th through Sunday, March 9th. Shows are at 8:00 and 10:30 pm. She will be joined by Randy Porter on piano, Scott Steed on bass, Reggie Jackson on drums and Dan Balmer on guitar.

Long regarded Ð and sometimes criticized Ð as an artist who has walked a tightrope between jazz and pop, Schuur sees "Some Other Time" as an unwavering statement about her commitment to the jazz tradition and its influence on her artistic sensibilities.

Diane Schuur grew up at the intersection of two distinct worlds of music. On one hand, the radio of her youth telegraphed the sounds of Motown, the Beatles and other powerful forces of the '60s. On the other, her parents' home in Auburn, Washington, was filled with the likes of Dinah Washington, Nat King Cole and other luminaries of mid-20th century jazz. Out of this melting pot, Schuur developed a hybrid style that merges the best elements of the jazz and pop traditions. Since her recording career began in the early 1980s, she has scored two Grammy Awards and three additional Grammy nominations, and has performed and collaborated with artists as diverse as B.B. King, Ray Charles, Stan Getz and many more.

There is a $35 cover charge at tables and a $20 cover charge at the bar.
