Dianne Reeves - Skylark [11/15]

[@susancain8505]

what beautiful rendition thankyou Ms. Reeves

[@jaysunbournebourne2340]

Oh Skylark... Have you seeeeeeeen......... where I left the remote.... What a magnificent performance all in all

[@Thesingndance]

Phenomenal voice and execution. Great piano!

[@kantimakan4056]

Dianne’s vocalization is breathtaking and so full of emotion and authenticity. The piano accompaniment just added that right touch to make this rendition a truly great memorable experience. Thank you so much.

[@harrylanders3779]

That's Peter Martin on piano. They are so tuned in to each other.

[@Marioncosmicwiiz]

@@harrylanders3779 Yes, a perfect match. They've been playing together for a long time now, I hardly remember another pianist with her!

[@timelwell7002]

What a superb re-harmonisation of any already amazing song. Once again, this could well be THE definitive version of this song, thanks to Dianne's amazing voice and interpretation and wonderful musicians, especially the pianist. The Maud Maggart/Jamie Cullum version is great, too - very evocative - but for my 'Desert Island Disk' choice, this is it. I can (and do) listen to this over and over again, and I never tire of it.

[@LasseC58]

WOW! What a control this lady have. She’s just like an instrument. And i fall in love, without defense. Skylark will be played on my funeral, for sure. God bless this lady, although she’s already blessed!❤️

[@justusjazzband]

Love the bending of the pitch on the higher overtones. Great piano countering the singing. Love both these performers.

[@mindisaction]

Exhibition... Technique, soul, experience... Absolute mastering.

[@deebell912]

I love all that i have heard Dianne sing, i love her Tone, Picth , Articulation of delivery of every word she so graciously lets so easily roll of her throaty lingering voice, to me she's definitely got a lot a lot going on.❤️🌻❤️🌻❤️

[@denisesimpson591]

Skylark is like Amazing Grace--it would probably sound fabulous even on bagpipes! The icing on this cake it is the sultry Dianne Reeves Herself rendering the delivery . . .

[@frankolm2795]

Tears to my eyes. Magnificent...

[@ricardodellaquila3031]

Magnificent,astonishing.This woman sings from the deep of her heart and feelings.Only the true singers and musicians can do that.All the instruments are engaged with her voice in a perfect way and tempo.

[@jefferyhenderson8878]

Beautiful lyrics, one of my all time favorite songs, many singers but she is one the best

[@milesroach3378]

Yes, she is. Definitely an artist you should try to see perform!

[@johnnieb7861]

Dianne you go to my head, I caught her at the Toronto Jazz Festival 2014 She was great. She let everybody know who her man was...the cat playing guitar.

[@chailatte2239]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@123grly]

I CANNOT stop listening....stunning...

[@jazzerson7087]

Indeed, beautiful voice!!

[@chaz2wells]

Stunning... and what a pianist !!

[@hotclubsrq]

This is the song that reminds me of my mom. As hard as I try when I listen,I always cry… sad like a gadjo! Truly the best performance of this song ever and the most valuable moment when I revisit it. Bravo ❤

[@AndreaMcNeely220]

Brava! A masterful intepretation of one of my favorite ballads. I will go further and say that Dianne Reeves' reading is the definitive version!

[@wernermatrisch2]

What a wonderful singer is Dianne Reeves !!!!!! She is herself with each song always - also here with that classic jazzsong. .

[@timelwell7002]

One of the greatest jazz singers of all time singing the most exquisite rendition of an already exquisite song, helped in no small measure by a great arrangement (with some re-harmonisation) and great playing from the pianist in particular. Timeless.

[@kh23797]

It's hard to find any classic American song so differently interpreted as Skylark. Maybe it's the mark of a great number that it can be given such diverse treatment and always come up trumps. This is, above all, a wistful song and Dianne and Peter got that down. Very nice indeed.

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Hats off to Hoagy and Mercer for a truly lovely, winsome Jazz tune. So beautifully performed by Dianne and her brilliant empathetic accompanists. Thank you all.

[@kjp4790]

Timeless song and perhaps an even more timeless performance. Amazing.

[@mnannarone409]

Saw her last year in NYC. She's the best.

[@POLTOMMIJAZZBRASIL]

Magica musica ...spettacolare Dianne Reeves

[@AndreaMcNeely220]

Sheer perfection!

[@Marioncosmicwiiz]

I've been listening to this concert so many times. Thanks so much for sharing this video. Soothing. Dianne Reeves is still my favorite contemporary female singer. Thrills, soul, spiritual healing music.

[@custardapplejazz]

She floats over the bar lines like a skylark.

[@TheRayricardo]

Dazzzzling interpretation. Ive heard dozens of vocal versions but I think this is the best one. She sings with gusto and passion. Thanks for posting. Most enjoyable.

[@MPfrance]

Stunning song/performance/arrangement. Give it up for the piano solo!

[@gordoloboalbondigas]

Fantastic piano solo

[@frankolm2795]

Adam Daudrich took the words out of my mouth. Incredible.

[@rr7firefly]

That would be Peter Martin, who also accompanied her on her New Year's Eve program on PBS.

3 months I have listened to this soothing song almost every night as I go to sleep and will continue to do so for indefinitely. I relate deeply to the lyrics. Dianne, Peter and band have amazing talents performing an exceptional rendition of this song.

Dianne is at her best when she has Peter Martin accompanying her on piano. He creates the perfect musical atmosphere with his virtuosity and sensitive arrangements. Here is another brilliant example of their ability to take things to a high artistic level: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHPCl3Z3hMeXjpY

[@merveusta]

Skylark Have you anything to say to me? Won't you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed? Skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring? Where my heart can go a journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Oh skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there? Oh skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there? Türkçe diline çevir

[@cagdeorok]

Music is formed in the Brain, goes thru the Heart for Refinement, moves on to Vocal Chords for the Rendition. Which is why regardless of the Trance of the performers, music -- vocals, piano, etc. -- are performed with the expressions that go with the rendition.

[@terrytay1774]

Yes. I heard a young Aretha sing this ...n boy was it lifeless!

[@Usefulmusic]

I used to prefer listening to instruments more than the human voice - until now.

[@inga-brittlindback6850]

Useful Music mm
