DALINE JONES & DIEGO RIVERA

Daline began singing as a child and her singing and songwriting chops are the legacy of her famous Beat-poet father and jazz surrealist, Ted Joans. He  made sure Daline spent her early years listening to, and seeing, the Jazz greats in the clubs of their native New York City. That  exposure lead her to pursue a life in music. Her earliest recording sessions were for Lionel Richie and the Commodores, working with the top studio session vocalists in the business. She released several of her own critically acclaimed albums; achieving Billboard’s “Top 20” on the Contemporary Jazz charts.

She headlined the famous Starlight Room in San Francisco, Daline was the lead singer for the renowned Starlight Orchestra from 1995-2005, and has since performed around the world with pianist/composer Diego Ramirez.  They have written and recorded many original songs and recorded several albums and CDs.  They are currently at work on a new album of original songs for release in early 2024 and will perform in Copenhagen in Summer 2024.
