Delta Blues Week features Jazz Singer,
Rene' Marie

The 2003-2004 Season for the Delta Symphony Association begins with the annual Tribute to the Blues on Thursday, September 18th at Jake & Freda Stein Hall of Bass Cultural Center beginning at 7:30 p.m.. Featured performer will be René Marie, Jazz Singer. The human voice is the oldest, most tried instrument in music. In jazz, vocalists tend to be the most celebrated artists because they reach listeners in ways players of other instruments can not. Though some disparage vocalists because they make jazz easy to appreciate, the truth is that great singers challenge the listener just as much as any trumpeter, drummer, or guitarist. Vocalist Rene' Marie is just such a maven. René is listed on the top vocal CD list for 2001 and describes herself as a vocalist, composer and musical risk-taker. Marie is a self-taught jazz vocalist and has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson-quite stunning considering her musical path.
