Best Performance by a Denverite at the Grammys

Jazz chanteuse Dianne Reeves finally had a well-deserved moment in the spotlight — and at the podium — at this year’s Grammy Awards. Reeves snagged the award for Best Jazz Vocal Album with In the Moment — Live in Concert, her stunning album released for Blue Note in the summer of 2000. The former University of Colorado student has always had an astonishing ability — her vocal range bounces elastically around three octaves — and now she’s gotten the recognition (and nifty statue) that’s long been her due.
