Multi-Grammy Award winner Diane Schuur's Running On Faith - songs from Paul Simon, Percy Mayfield, Paul McCartney & more

GRAMMY® nominated 5 times and Winner of Two GRAMMY® Awards vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur creates new versions of songs on her new release Running On Faith; with music from Paul Simon to Percy Mayfield to Paul McCartney. Diane Schuur'sstrength as a pianist matches her power as a vocalist, as she incorporates blues, gospel, straight-ahead jazz, and more.

''Her voice is impressive in its size, range and brightness. A song can suddenly
fly up an octave into little-girl squeals, then make a swan dive into the murky
depths. She uses her twirling vibrato as rhythmic punctuation. After drawing out
a note, she dispenses that vibrato like the cherry on a sundae.''

Stephen Holden / New York Times

All About Jazz's Victor L. Schermer declares, ''Ms.
Schuur surely is among the very best jazz vocalists, and she exemplifies if not redefines the 'diva' category with her warm, often humorous, and relaxed interactions with the audience and the musicians. Her mere presence is enough to make for a memorable evening.''

Vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur shakes out new versions of songs for which she has a deep-rooted affection. On her latest recording ''Running On Faith,'' Schuur arranges music by some of her favorite performers and songwriters; from Miles Davis to Percy Mayfield to Paul Simon, all with her distinctive, jazzy charm. According to Schuur, ''I've been focusing on the condition of our world and selected songs that make a statement about what is, along with songs of hope, about what can be.''
