Most recently, Ms. Schuur recorded an homage to two of her very important mentors, Frank Sinatra and Stan Getz. The CD, entitled I Remember You (With Love To Stan and Frank) released in June 2014, and also commemorates her "official" discovery 35 years ago by Stan Getz at the 1979 Monterey Jazz Festival. The recording features all new arrangements by Alan Broadbent.

Diane will be performing music from her latest CD "I Remember You" and she also plans to reach back to some of her previous catalog, including music from "Heart To Heart" her recording with BB King.
