WFIU Presents
Rene Marie Just Has to Sing
WFIU |
This
week on Afterglow it’s “Rene Marie Just Has to
Sing.” Jazz vocalist Rene Marie got a late start to her career—by
the time she began gigging and recording, her two sons were already
in college. Influenced by classic singers such as Sarah Vaughan,
Ella Fitzgerald, and Betty Carter, Marie has developed her own voice
and approach, and her performances—particularly in concert—have
a compelling electricity about them. We’ll hear music from
her four MaxJazz releases, including How Can I Keep From Singing?
and Live at Jazz Standard. Also on the Afterglow agenda this
time around: Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Yusef Lateef, and
a set of Hank Williams songs done by performers ranging from Cassandra
Wilson and James Brown to Joe Pass and Madeleine Peyroux. “Rene
Marie Just Has to Sing” airs Friday, February 16 at 10:05 p.m.
EST on WFIU.
