She has a BA in Music from Northwestern University. She started out playing in various orchestras in the Chicago area. Diane toured with the Frank Sinatra Orchestra from 1991-94. She has also recorded with The Manhattan Transfer, Ray Charles and others. Since 1997 she has recorded for BluJazz which is based in Chicago. Beautiful Love is from her 2001 album Talking Stick. Diane wrote half of the songs on the album. Beautiful Love was written in 1931 by bandleader Wayne King with Victor Young, Egbert Van Alstyne and Haven Gillespie. It became a jazz standard after Bill Evans recorded it in 1961. Musicians are Dennis Luxion on piano, Michael Arnepol on bass and Tom Hipsklind on drums. There is also a string quartet and singer Greg Paenko makes a guest appearance. This album is available as a budget CD. Since 2004 Diane has been a professor at Columbia College.
