When she signed with the GRP label , digital technology was becoming available and she had veteran producer Dave Grusin supervising her first three albums ; the recordings also benefited from the cachet brought by Stan Getz performing on them . Her first album under this label , '' Deedles '' , met with moderate but significant success , reaching number 35 on the Billboard jazz charts . It was her first record to be released internationally . Following this , '' Schuur Thing '' was released in 1985 , featuring guest artist José Feliciano , and reached number ten on the Billboard jazz charts . In that same year , a big break came for Schuur when she was invited to perform on the 28th Annual Grammy Awards Show , broadcast on the CBS Network . '' Timeless '' was her fourth album , for which she received her first Grammy Award , winning best female jazz vocal performance for 1986 . Four noted arrangers contributed in writing the charts for this recording – Billy May , Johnny Mandel , Jeremy Lubbock and Patrick Williams . The following year she won her second Grammy for best jazz vocal , this time for '' Diane Schuur & the Count Basie Orchestra '' . The album was one of her most successful , remaining at the top of Billboard 's Traditional Jazz Charts for 33 weeks . The Basie Band on the album was led by Frank Foster . Foster himself won a Grammy for his work on this same recording – best arrangement accompanying a vocal , Jazz category , 1987 . The session included Freddie Green , Basie 's long time guitarist . Then 76 years old , Green 's guitar work on the recording was the final performance of his career . In 1985 , while on tour in the Far East , Schuur met B.B. King when they both played at a music festival in Tokyo . Schuur and King hit it off musically , and later made an album together called '' Heart to Heart '' . Released in May 1994 , '' Heart to Heart '' entered the Billboard Jazz Charts at number one
