Details:
For this unique recording Diane sings with seven virtuosi guitairsts, in a variety of musical settings, from single guitar; guitar duo; and guitar trio with bass and drums, carrying the listener along for a swinging, soulful ride.
"Making this new CD was a dream come true," says Hubka, who is also a guitar player and sometimes accompanies herself in New York venues. "It’s such a versatile instrument and I wanted to show its many colors. Each guitarist has such a unique sound!"
Diane Hubka has been winning international acclaim ever since her debut CD, Haven''t We Met, featuring jazz legend Lee Konitz, was nominated for a 1999 Jazz Award for "Best Recording Debut", alongside rising stars Stefon Harris, Ravi Coltrane and Brian Blade. The LA Jazz Scene affirms: "There is much more to singing than a lovely voice and Hubka can do it all." Whether singing with an ensemble or accompanying herself on seven-string guitar, she playfully improvises as if one of the instruments over what the Village Voice calls "as eclectically entertaining a collection of material as one could wish for."
Diane''s first two recordings were released on the Dutch Challenge/A-Records label to critical success. Scott Yanow heralded her second CD as “one of the best in recent times.” Her newest recording Diane Hubka Goes to the Movies celebrates her move to “Hollywood” with an album of songs from film, slated for release in Japan in April, and in North America & Europe in June 2007.
Diane has recorded and/or performed with jazz luminaries Bucky Pizzarelli, Gene Bertoncini, Harold Danko, John Pisano, John Hart, Frank Kimbrough, Christian Jacob, Carl Saunders, Scott Whitfield, and the Brazilian Trio Da Paz. She has performed in major jazz clubs across the US, appearing in New York at Blue Note, Birdland, Knitting Factory, Jazz Gallery and 55 Bar; the Mellon Central Pennsylvania Jazz Festival, the Philadelphia Guitar Show, Washington D.C.''s Blues Alley, Jazz Corner in Hilton Head, SC and in Los Angeles at the Jazz Bakery, Steamers Jazz Cafe, and the LA County Museum of Art. Returning to her home town, she has twice been ''Featured Soloist'' with the Western Maryland Symphony.
In September 2002 Diane Hubka began playing the 7-string guitar. Howard Alden, Concord Jazz recording artist and one of the world''s foremost 7-string players, says: "I think voice plus seven-string guitar are an ideal combination. It''s rare to find someone who can perform with both single-handedly, but Diane Hubka does just that - beautifully!"
