Voice of My Beautiful Country

Rene Marie s revolutionary yet deeply personal patriotism soars from sea to shining sea
on her tour-de-force, jazz/gospel/Americana crossover album.

With searing honesty, impeccable artistry, and bold musical
risk-taking, Rene Marie and her loyal touring ensemble apply
substantial improvisational chops to an intriguing set of 19th,
20th, and 21st-century compositions that define the very cloth
from which America is cut.

Rene Marie unexpectedly burst onto the top of the jazz scene in
2002 when her album Vertigo was voted Best Vocal Jazz CD by
JazzTimes in the UK. The follow up, Live at the Jazz Standard,
hit #20 on the Billboard Jazz Chart and sparked a media blitz of
features in virtually every major US jazz publication as well as
the New York & LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Vibe, and Essence.
