Rene Marie Just Has to Sing
July 13, 2007
 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.
Afterglow airs every Friday evening at 10:05 p.m.
EST on WFIU. Broadcasts are made available for listening
at any time the following week in the Afterglow
archives.
