About Dee Daniels

With a palpable authenticity, towering four-octave range, and a powerful blues and gospel-tinged jazz vocal approach, Dee Daniels has built a sterling reputation amongst jazz fans and critics around the world for over three decades. A mesmerizing storyteller, she is as exciting to watch as she is to hear when expressing the sentiment of a song.

Well represented throughout her career in performances and recordings with such jazz luminaries as Monty Alexander, Russell Malone, Cyrus Chestnut, Houston Person, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Clayton, Ken Peplowski, Kenny Barron, to mention a few, she has also performed and/or recorded with symphony orchestras and big bands globally.

Dee’s international career includes performances in twelve African countries, Australia, South America, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Russia, throughout Europe, and across the United States and Canada. Career highlights include serving on the Jazz Education Network (JEN) Presidential Advisory Council 2016 - 2018; being named Artistic Director of the Frank DeMiero Jazz Festival (WA) in 2011; the 2009 recipient of an Honourary Doctorate Degree of Fine Arts from Capilano University; starring on the theatre stage in the 2009 premiere of New York choreographer, Twyla Tharp’s, musical, Come Fly Away; 2003 recipient of the prestigious Commemorative Medal for the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II; induction into the University of Montana’s School of Fine Arts Hall of Honor as well as receipt of the 1997 University of Montana Distinguished Alumni Award; and, 2002 inductee into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame with plaque installed on Vancouver’s Granville Street Walk of Fame. Dee has 12 CDs as leader to her credit, as well as guest appearances on the CDs of many other great artists. Her most recent CD is the critically acclaimed Intimate Conversations.

“As its name implies, Intimate Conversations places Daniels in cozy duo and trio settings, featuring Cyrus Chestnut, Martin Wind, Wycliffe Gordon, Ken Peplowski, Russell Malone, Ted Brancato, Houston Person and Bob Kindred. Among the current crop of American vocalists, Daniels is, with her four-octave range, surely the most soulful and as close to a modern-day Sarah Vaughan as you’re likely to get.”
~ Christopher Louden, Jazz Times

“Daniels is a superb vocal actress who understands phrasing, vibrato, gospel and the blues. She conducts 10 conversations that are compelling, dramatic and, yes, intimate.”
~ Doug Ramsay, Rifftides

“With an adventurous set card that isn’t easily pigeonholed, Daniels shows you what you’ve been missing and why insiders feel free to show up and show the love. This is a grand showcase for jazz vocal fans that want it as pure and close to the bone as possible. Hot stuff throughout.”
~ Chris Spector, Midwest Record
