Having a passion to “Build
Bridges Across Jazz Lines”,
Diane arranged and blended
the elements of
contemporary, traditional,
smooth and Latin jazz with
great pop standards from the
sixties. This creative
mosaic of music led to
Diane’s latest CD ‘Just
Groovin’.
Critically acclaimed,
"‘Just Groovin’ is a stellar
collection featuring twelve
wonderful re-interpretations
of pop standards from the
sixties. These are not
copies of other versions.
Diane's fantastic voice and
arranging is a breath of
fresh air for these tunes,
reminding us once again that
a great song can be
interpreted in any number of
styles"… (Bob Perry –
The Penthouse Radio). |

Diane’s debut jazz quartet CD ‘A
Sleepin’ Bee’ was released in
2003 and has received national acclaim
charting on the national charts as well
as receiving extensive radio airplay and
rave reviews. This CD offers a wide
array of vocal and instrumental
traditional jazz standards, Latin jazz,
and Brazilian jazz (sung in Portuguese).
Diane’s second CD ‘On The Street
Where You Live’, released in May
of 2004 has also received national
acclaim charting on the national jazz
charts and proves once again that Diane
is a natural whether playing, singing,
or both. This CD will take the listener
to the very depths of emotions. There is
a re-current theme throughout that tells
stories of love, and love lost, as well
as playful gems of Latin and Brazilian
jazz. Diane is joined by bandmates Frank
Marino (bass), Mitch Reilly
(saxes/flute), and Chris Brown (drums).
