Hit: 3 Stars
If there's a better singer on the jazz scene today than Rene Marie, I haven't heard her. Nobody matches her combination of astounding technique, pure tone and great big heart. And creative intelligence, too: she can take the moldiest standard or most unlikely pop tune and re-imagine it into something completely fresh and moving. Her bands and arrangements are always top-notch. I could go on and on -- her previous three MaxJazz disks are all 5-star beauties. Buy them all. Now, if only Rene could write songs like she sings them. Most of the songs on this CD are written in a prosey, tuneless, meterless modern style that makes poor use of her vocal talents. Her "I've had it real hard, but I'm tough and I'm gonna make it" subject matter is so heartfelt and sincere that I feel like a complete jerk for being annoyed by it. But there it is... maybe the songs are just so personal that I feel uncomfortable, maybe even unwelcome, listening in. "Little Girl" is downright cringe-inducing. I hope this wonderful singer has gotten the writing bug out of her system with Serene Renegade so she can carry on doing what she does better than anyone.
Serene Renegade Poster
René Marie sings about life and the art of living it fully. On Serene Renegade, her 4th CD for MAXJAZZ, she sings not only about her remarkable story but also those of her father, her mother, her sister and brother and her sons. With this recording, she reminds the listener of her great ability to mine the spirit of a song and interpret it in affecting fashion.Marie wrote nine of the 11 striking tunes on Serene Renegade, adding one standard, "Lover Man, O Where Can You Be" and "Hard Day?s Night" from John Lennon and Paul McCartney. She immerses herself fully in the emotion of the compositions and completely brings them to life along with the help of her touring band - Takana Miyamoto, piano; Herman Burney, bass; Quentin Baxter, drums ? and her special guests, Jeremy Pelt, trumpet; and Roland Guerrero, percussion.
