In Tribute is the seventh studio album by American singer and pianist Diane Schuur, released in 1992 on the GRP Records label. For the album, the singer recorded thirteen standards, each of which is dedicated to one of the jazz singers: Billie Holiday (two songs in her honor), Helen Morgan, Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald, Libby Holman, Peggy Lee, Dinah Washington, Ivie Anderson, Nancy Wilson and Mabel Mercer.[1]
Scott Yanow of AllMusic noted that in most cases, orchestra arrangements make the music a little heavier, and none of Schuur's performances reach the heights of her role models, but nevertheless, Diane Schuur's voice is quite attractive, and in itself this sincere disc is generally pleasant. The Cash Box reviewer stated that Schuur has long been a respected vocalist in the music industry, but in this project she and executive producer Dave Grusin really outdid themselves.[2]
