NYC vocalist Marianne Solivan makes her debut here in Chicago, with bassist Marlene Rosenberg's " A Class Act " band.
Marianne is becoming one of the most buzzed about jazz singers on the New York scene. Marianne latest CD "Prisoner of Love" which was reviewed with 4 stars from Downbeat, featured Christian McBride on bass, and produced by trumpeter Jeremy Pelt.The infallible swing of Ella, the daring of Betty Carter, the matter-of factness of Carmen McCrae…They can all be found in the voice of Marianne Solivan, whom trumpeter Jeremy Pelt has called “the modern-day paradigm to which all singers should aspire.” The CD was one of my favorites of 2012.
Reginald J Thomas on piano, who is one of the most in demand pianists and educators in the country. Thomas’s soulful, hard-swinging brand of piano immediately grabs an audience and assures them that a swinging time is set to be had by all. After nearly twenty years as a professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Thomas accepted a position at Michigan State University, which began last fall.

Dease quickly established a reputation as a brilliant soloist and sideman, recording 4 albums as a leader and over 100 sessions as a sideman, all before the age of 30.
