Giant Steppes has performed to critical acclaim at concerts
and festivals throughout Britain, including several appearances
in the London Jazz Festival, and regularly features leading
British players such as Henry Lowther, Annie Whitehead, Steve
Lodder and vocalist Ian Shaw. BBC Radio Three broadcasted
a complete concert of the band as part of the ‘Impressions’
series.
In addition to Giant Steppes, Diane led
the quirky ‘Di’s New Outfit’,
which blended improvised music with European cabaret styles,
developing a cult following on the London scene. She also
composed for and led her own contemporary jazz quartet. More
recently she has developed ‘Zdravets’, a project
with piano and accordion player Kim Burton, producing jazz
music infused with Brazilian and Balkan folk influences and
the ‘Boogie Wonderland Big band’, playing arrangements
and compositions inspired by music from the 70s.
At the present time Diane is focusing
on writing for film and
television and has recently achieved a Masters degree from
the London
College of Music and Media. She has received commissions from
GLAA, the London Arts Board and the Arts Council of Great
Britain. She has been interviewed both on BBC’s Radio
Three and Four and has appeared on network television.
