Rene Marie

Daring singer, actress, performer René Marie sings works from her recent Grammy nominated album, I Wanna Be Evil (With Love to Eartha Kitt) and solidifies her reputation as one of the most provocative risk-takers 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.
