Diane
White began her musical journey as an instrumentalist, developing a strong attachment to
the growling sounds of the trombone; It took the
persistence of a music teacher to push the
dedicated brass musician into joining her high
school vocal jazz ensemble. Diane's formal
education and her strong sense of individualism
have served Diane well. Her warm, inviting tone
recalls vocal giants Billie
Holiday, Sarah
Vaughn
and Horace
Silver, but the overall effect in her
vocal delivery is dominated by her own joyous
sense of innovation. Indeed, it is Diane’s
desire to marry innovations with the jazz
tradition coupled with her incredibly charismatic
live performances that are winning her glowing
reviews from both audiences and critics.
