Celebrated jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves will revisit Korea with two concerts Sept. 25-27. The American singer will showcase songs from her latest album ``When You Know'' for her first tour in four years.
Considered one of the most important contemporary jazz artists alongside Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, the 51-year-old is much loved for her deep, versatile voice and impresses listeners with ear-pleasing melodies rather than tricky technique.
The four-time Grammy winner is particularly known for collaborating with veteran producer Arif Mardin (who introduced to the world artists such as Norah Jones) on her 2003 album ``A Little Moonlight.''
Recently, she has appeared with the Wynton Marsalis-helmed Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and also ventured into the classical genre through performances with groups such as the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Reeves is also the first singer to perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
For the upcoming tour, the diva will sing songs from her latest album ``When You Know,'' which features jazz classics like ``Loving You'' as well as R&B and pop numbers.
Reeves will perform Sept. 25 at LG Arts Center, Yeoksam-dong, Seoul. Tickets cost from 30,000 won to 70,000 won. Call (02) 2005-0114. She will then appear at Sori Festival, Jeonju, Sept. 27. Call (063) 232-8398.
