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.
