When You Know
Singer Dianne Reeves has proven herself one of the most popular and enduring jazz performers of the `00 decade. (Her appearance in the George Clooney film GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK certainly didn’t hurt.) WHEN YOU KNOW is more a “pop” album with jazz overtones however. This time, Reeves wraps her compassionate, slightly dusky voice around such classic `60s/’70s radio hits as Minnie Riperton’s first hit “Lovin’ You” and the Temptations’s “Just My Imagination.” The set is a nice mix of acoustic (a string quartet) and electric (Russell Malone’s bluesy guitar) elements, making for an attractive and thoughtfully varied listen....
