Guest Musicians: Dianne Mower, Vocals Dianne Mower never had jazz in mind when she started singing professionally in 1973 at the age of 20. She turned to jazz when an impresario in Hartford wanted to form a Lambert, Hendricks & Ross tribute band. Having regularly listened to Mitch Miller’s Sing Along as a youngster, she knew a lot of standards so it didn’t take much for her to fit right in. Mower has appeared at such eminent jazz venues as New York’s Blue Note, participated in several concerts with the Hartford Jazz Society and appeared at various jazz festivals. She has also performed with legendary, Dave Brubeck. Ms. Mower continues to perform in the New England area and record, and teaches at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts.
