GRAMMY® nominated 5 times and Winner of Two GRAMMY® Awards vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur creates new versions of songs on her new release Running On Faith; with music from Paul Simon to Percy Mayfield to Paul McCartney. Diane Schuur's strength as a pianist matches her power as a vocalist, as she incorporates blues, gospel, straight-ahead jazz, and more.
''Her voice is impressive in its size, range and brightness. A song can suddenly fly up an octave into little-girl squeals, then make a swan dive into the murky depths. She uses her twirling vibrato as rhythmic punctuation. After drawing out a note, she dispenses that vibrato like the cherry on a sundae.''
Stephen Holden / New York Times
All About Jazz's Victor L. Schermer declares, ''Ms. Schuur surely is among the very best jazz vocalists, and she exemplifies if not redefines the 'diva' category with her warm, often humorous, and relaxed interactions with the audience and the musicians. Her mere presence is enough to make for a memorable evening.''
Vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur shakes out new versions of songs for which she has a deep-rooted affection. On her latest recording ''Running On Faith,'' Schuur arranges music by some of her favorite performers and songwriters; from Miles Davis to Percy Mayfield to Paul Simon, all with her distinctive, jazzy charm. According to Schuur, ''I've been focusing on the condition of our world and selected songs that make a statement about what is, along with songs of hope, about what can be.''

Press Quotes
'Schuur is playfully salty and intimate throughout Running on Faith'
—A.D. Amorosi, JazzTimes Magazine
'A marvelously mature, swinging after hours record where Schuur takes the wheel with Ernie Watts at her side, this is as close to a civil rights jazz record as a white girl can come.'
—Chris Spector, Midwest Record
'Schuur digs deep on songs as close to her as skin...Deedles continues to be a force of nature in jazz. A very welcome one.'
—C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz
This is, remarkably, Diane's most personal record to date - a by-turns angry, joyous, mournful, optimistic and spiritual mediation on the world we find ourselves in today.
—Adam Mattera, Echoes Magazine
