Are you here? If you think I don’t know that you’re here, listening to The Paul Leslie Hour, well you’ve got another thing coming.
Okay, seriously we’ve got an interview from the archives with Diane Schuur. This was broadcast on FM radio years ago and hasn’t been heard since. Did you know that we have a lot of archival interviews like this just waiting to get heard. You can help us in our mission to get all of this content out there.

This interview with Jazz legend Diane Schuur was conducted by Paul E. Leslie just after she released her album “The Gathering,” on Vanguard Records. Although Diane Schuur is one of jazz’s leading singers, “The Gathering” is a collection of country songs mostly written during the 1960s. Produced by Steve Buckingham, the album features Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Larry Carlton, Mark Knopfler, and Kirk Whalum.
Diane Schuur or “Deedles” as she is called by fans and friends alike, has a career spanning more than 40 years. She’s collaborated with the likes of jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson, the Count Basie Orchestra, the Caribbean Jazz Project, Stevie Wonder, Barry Manilow, Ray Charles, and bluesman B. B. King. She is a Grammy award-winner and it we think the word “legend” suits her perfectly.
Now let’s get into the interview.
