Did you know? Dianne Reeves is undeniably a jazz legend. She received the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings, a Grammy first in any vocal category; was the first Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and she is the recipient of honorary doctorates from Berklee College of Music and the Juilliard School. For her achievements, the National Endowment for the Arts designated Reeves as a Jazz Master—the highest honor the United States bestows on jazz artists.

Dianne Reeves' first Wolf Trap performance occurred at the Filene Center in 1983 with Harry Belafonte. Subsequently, she performed at The Barns at Wolf Trap in 1992 and returned to the Filene Center in 1998 and 2001.
