elements of her personal dedication to entertainment. As a performer, she’s performed big
band, funk and musical theatre; her talents include trombone, piano and song
writing; she’s an actress
and a model;

with Canadian jazz gurus Mohammed Abdul Al Kabbyr, Andrew Homzy, Charles

diversity – savouring the classic style of Billie Holiday, the sassy tones of
Sarah Vaughn and the funky sounds of Horace Silver. Diane’s innate ability to make
innovations resonate with the jazz tradition is one of the secrets of her
