Jeff Daniel

The “original jazz godfather of Tucson”, JD ( Jeff ) Daniel returns with a red hot new contemporary jazz CD - “Back To The Groove,” featuring David Sanborn, Brandon Fields & more, which is getting airplay across the U.S. as well as globally. JD will be fronting a quartet with members of his original groundbreaking group, which remains the most successful jazz band in Old Pueblo history. Daniel and company will be showcasing material from his new CD as well as reprising a few vintage crowd favorites.

Diane Schuur

Vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur is as eclectic as she is brilliant. Acclaimed worldwide for her vocal versatility and incredible 3½ octave range, Schuur was “discovered” by Dizzy Gillespie, who brought her on stage at the 1979 Monterey Jazz Festival A longtime disciple of Dinah Washington and other legendary jazz singers of the ‘40s and ‘50s, Schuur has built a stellar career by embracing not only the jazz of her parents’ generation, but also the pop music of her own youth during the late 1950s and ‘60s. In a recording career that spans nearly three decades – and includes two Grammy Awards and three Grammy nominations – Schuur’s music has explored nearly every corner of the 20th century American musical landscape. Blinded at birth due to a hospital accident, Schuur, nicknamed "Deedles," has won Two Grammy awards. Schuur has headlined many of the world's most prestigious music venues, including Carnegie Hall and The White House and has toured the world performing with such greats as Stan Getz, B. B. King, Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Quincy Jones.

Together, JD and Deedles will perform with members of their original group to win your hearts this Valentine’s Weekend. Sell out show is expected.
