From her days singing with the Count Basie band as a replacement for Joe
Williams, to her Indian summer of renewed popularity, Irene Reid always lived up
to her moniker, The Queen of Uptown Blues. Like Dinah Washington & Esther
Phillips, Irene had a church background and never lost that divine intensity or
power to convey the emotions in a lyric. Her most notable post-Basie gig was
playing the wicked witch on Broadway in "The Whiz." Here is a program featuring
Irene, the Charles "Mighty Burner" Earland, Eric Alexander and the rest of the
crew doing what Irene did best: the Uptown Blues.
