As the creative community tries to navigate the uncertainty of cranking up to a pace that is near or equal to pre-pandemic, we present excerpts of two conversations with jazz chanteuse DIANNE REEVES. One from 2015, fresh off of her Grammy win for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. And here in 2022, as she prepares to visit Philadelphia again for the first time in several years, live on the Kimmel Center Campus stage.

My, how the world has changed between these two interviews! And yet, Reeves' passion for her place in music history and her gratitude for the ability to continue contributing to the canon is a constant.

** Ms. Reeves experienced some audio issues a few minutes into the recent interview. We apologize in advance for glitches in sound quality and have tried to smooth them out to improve the listening experience as best we can.
