Smooth Soul at the Rrazz Room With the Dramatics
- Full Price:
- $50.00
- Our Price:
- $25.00
Enjoy some classic smooth soul and quiet storm R&B in the sophisticated and intimate setting of the Rrazz Room, one of San Francisco's premiere night clubs. In their early '70s heyday, the Dramatics were an anomaly: a Detroit singing group signed not to their famed hometown label, Motown, but to the legendary Southern soul label Stax/Volt. Their sound, as heard on hit singles like "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get" and "In the Rain," straddles both worlds, combining the Temptations-like silky-smooth harmonies of Motown with the earthiness of Memphis-style soul. Still performing after more than 40 years, the group features veteran member L.J. Reynolds along with Willie Ford, Donald Albert and Winzell Kelly. Learn More

To be honest, I found Diane a bit less "on it" that in the past. Her band is, indeed, tight but she seemed almost ill at ease and had trouble reaching the high notes. As well, her selection of tunes were uninspired. I know she can do better. It wasn't completely bad but disappointing.Written on Nov 01 2010

Diane Schuur is a wonderful jazz singer /musician and it's a treat to see her especially at an intimate club like the Rrazz Room. Her band is tight and together they put on a performance that was relaxed, playful and enjoyable last night.Written on May 22 2009

Deedles was as wonderful as ever. She was dealing with throat issues and cracked on a few of her notes. Even with that, she was still great. She has lost about 60lbs and looks fantastic!Written on Nov 01 2010

More Information About Diane Schuur
Description
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.
Schuur recorded 11 albums on GRP, including two Grammy winners: Timeless (1986) and Diane Schuur and the Count Basie Orchestra (1987). The recording with the Basie Orchestra spent 33 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard jazz charts. In 1991, Pure Schuurmade the number-one slot on the Contemporary Jazz charts, and Heart To Heart - a 1994 collaborative recording with B.B. King - entered the Billboard charts at No. 1. After one album on Atlantic records in 1999 - Music is My Life, produced by Ahmet Ertegun - Schuur joined the Concord label with the 2000 release of Friends For Schuur. The move to Concord marked the beginning of a series of highly successful collaborative projects: Swingin' For Schuur (2001), a set of finely crafted duets with trumpeter Maynard Ferguson; Midnight (2003), Schuur's unique interpretations of thirteen songs (mostly new material) written or co-written by Barry Manilow; and Schuur Fire (2005), a decidedly Latin-flavored album featuring the Caribbean Jazz Project.
Some Other Time, Schuur's February 2008 Concord release, is a recording of songs by jazz artists whom she first discovered via her parents during her childhood and adolescent years. The album features songs by George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn, Rogers and Hammerstein and more. Long regarded - and sometimes criticized - as an artist who has walked a tightrope between jazz and pop, Schuur has the unwavering statement about her commitment to the jazz tradition and its influence on her artistic sensibilities.
Although the lineup is current as of publication, it is subject to change without notice.
