Friday & Saturday, May 9 and 10 at the Schuster Center is the National City SuperPops Season finale Jazz Dreams with vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur. The classic jazz voice of our time, Ms. Schuur’s style hovers somewhere between Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. She grew up at the intersection of two distinct worlds of music. On one hand, the radio of her youth telegraphed the sounds of Motown, the Beatles, and other powerful forces of the ‘60s. On the other, her parents’ home in Auburn, Washington reverberated with the likes of Dinah Washington, Nat King Cole, and other luminaries of mid-20th century jazz. Out of this melting pot, Schuur developed a hybrid style that merges the best elements of the jazz and pop traditions. More about the concert.
