Editor's note

Dianne Reeves, a jazz voice from Detroit

A singer whose clear, flexible tone carries from standards to holiday classics.

For a good frame, try 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' or 'Endangered Species.'

Her voice has that clear, flexible quality that works across jazz standards and holiday songs. You can hear it on tracks like 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' and 'Endangered Species.' She recorded 'A Little Moonlight' in 2005 after recovering from surgery for a benign brain tumor.

She grew up in Detroit, born in 1956 into a family of musicians. In the mid-1980s, she joined Wynton Marsalis' quintet, which brought her wider attention. Her first solo album came out in 1987.
