Diane White

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.
