New Releases : In Brief

*** 1/2 Dianne Reeves, “I Remember,” Blue Note. Reeves is at her unpretentious best on Sondheim’s “I Remember Sky” (Billy Childs on piano), on the Brazilian “Like a Lover” (only Kevin Eubanks’ guitar as accompaniment), and on McCoy Tyner’s “You Taught My Heart to Sing” (with pianist Mulgrew Miller). “Afro Blue” is spirited but sports too much percussion, while the aging “How High the Moon” is updated with an ingenious arrangement.
