One of only three women to have ever been invited to perform live with Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Diana’s credits include singing on a tribute to Gil Scott Heron with Gregory Porter and Martin Luther to performing with an orchestra led by Brazilian/Folk composer Arthur Verocai honoring his great musical work, also taking part in the original “Suite for Ma Dukes” show which was a glorious tribute to J. Dilla with artists such as Common, Talib Kweli, Thundercat, Bilal and many others.
