Deedles is a record album released by jazz singer and pianist Diane Schuur in 1984. It was her first album after signing with GRP Records (GRD 9510). The title, "Deedles" is the nickname Schuur was called by her mother. The album was Schuur's first time to have the record-making expertise of co-producers Larry Rosen and Dave Grusin and her first to be digitally mastered. Larry Rosen happened to see Schuur on television when she performed at the White House, sought to find her through Stan Getz, then offered her a recording contract. Dave Grusin arranged, conducted, and performed on the sessions. Jazz saxophonist Stan Getz, a friend and mentor of Schuur, played on two of the cuts. It was her first record to be released nationally and abroad, and reached number 35 on the Billboard jazz charts.
