Daring singer, actress and writer Rene Marie performs works from her new album, "I Wanna Be Evil (With Love to Eartha Kitt)" and solidifies her reputation as the most provocative risk-taker among today's jazz divas. Joining her for this performance are Dawn Clement (piano), Elias Baily (bass) and Quentin Baxter (drums).
René Marie - singer, actress, writer. Eartha Kitt - singer, actress, writer. Never before has there been a vocal recording tipping the hat to the divine Ms. Kitt and her fiery, sensual and clever interpretations of songs. With her incredible range of vocal ability, her powerful emotional resonance and strong independent streak, René is the right artist to conceive of this historic project. "I Wanna Be Evil (With Love to Eartha Kitt)" is René's third recording for the Motéma Music label and her 10th career album. This brilliantly entertaining album burnishes René's reputation as the most provocative risk-taker among today's jazz divas.
Like Eartha, René too is unabashedly herself, winning many fans for her audaciousness but also receiving strong criticism. Her daring makes her one of America's most interesting and compelling artists. So do her influences. Her style incorporates a distinctly American mélange of jazz, soul, blues, folk and gospel and an innate theatrical ability to interpret a song deeply and live its truth.
