Free Music Notes for In the Moment: Live in Concert
Free Music Review: just call her...DIANNE REEVES, M.D.
Hit: 5 Stars
("M.D." in this case stands for musical doctor...) Those of us who have seen DR live know it is an experience unlike any other. Onstage, she makes her own rules and then breaks them-- seeming to constantly reinvent her songs/voice/ musical identity, all the while maintaining an intimacy with the audience that is as easeful as it is proufound/magical. I think that she does a number of very radical things with her music in general, and that her particularly radical style is exemplified by her performances on stage, and here in this album. When I say radical, I mean: somehow during the creative process of performing, she makes the radical choice to include the listener/audience over and over again EXPLICITLY in her creation. She has, I think, an innate and extremely rare understanding of the nexxus of human emotion and art (who else would dare put forth an album as raw and complex and contradicory as "Art and Survival'?) and is able to use her talent to make the final product far more than the sum of its parts. She goes beyond her role and status as an entertainer, giving medicine to her audience, medicine that lives on in the human heart long after the concert is over. Ironically, it's this, the most astounding aspect of her musicianship, that makes her most vulnerable to criticism. Most will agree on the dazzling voice, but: one reviewer of this album called "5 Chapters" "self-indulgent"; others have claimed she is too experimental and not a "true" jazz singer. I, myself, referred to some songs on "Bridges" as "didactic" (see review). It was listening to this live album that made it click: refrains "Testify" and "Mista" now are embedded in my consciousness, self-activating affirmation chants that I hold dear in times of spiritual/emotional crisis. These songs annoyed me when I first heard them! Now I understand what she's doing: disobeying the sacred unspoken tenet of the European sensibility, that says we must "show but not tell" in art. The tenet the enforces the division between the experience and the expression. In the live world with DR, there is no division: when she greets the audience, she's singing; when she introduces each and every member of the band, telling stories all the way [left out on this album :( ], she's singing; when she talks about her start in the music business, her love of singing, her family, her heart being broken, she's doing this singing-talking thing that as far as I know is completely original to her, at least to the extent that she does it. And the singing is beautiful, and the talking is interesting-- thus, again-- more than the sum of their parts: the synergy of her miraculous presence and talent. Unmatched. She's THE singer for this millenium. I'm running out of room here but the truth is that Dianne is the queen of jazz...and the doctor of our broken hearts. Let us praise her...
