Marlena Shaw is among the most versatile and charismatic jazz
vocalists on the scene today. Her performances are marked by an
artful blend of pop standards and straight-ahead jazz tunes. Her
extroverted stage presence gives her an edge over other vocalists,
and clearly, singing live before an audience is where she feels most
comfortable.
After her uncle Jimmy Burgess introduced her to the recordings of
Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, she caught the jazz bug and
purchased records by Al Hibbler, a vocalist who had a big influence
on her singing style. When she was ten she performed at Harlem's
Apollo Theater, and despite the enthusiastic reception she received
in front of one of the world's toughest audiences, her mother refused
to let her go on the road with her uncle, a trumpet player.
Shaw attended the State Teachers' College in Potsdam, NY, but later
dropped out. For some time in 1963 she worked around New England with
a trio led by Howard McGhee. By the mid-'60s she was performing
regularly for audiences in the Catskills, Playboy clubs, and other
New York area clubs. In 1966, she recorded "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" for
Cadet Records, and the single sold very well for an unknown singer.
The single's success, a rare vocal version of the tune, prompted
executives at Cadet to encourage her to record a whole album for the
label in 1967. The diversity of styles, including blues, jazz, and
pop standards, is reflected in the album's title, Out of Different
Bags. Through her accountant, she was brought to the attention of
bandleader Count Basie, and she ended up singing with the Basie band
for four years.
In 1972, after leaving the Basie Orchestra, Shaw was the first female
vocalist signed to Blue Note Records, and she toured for a while with
the late Sammy Davis Jr. Shaw recorded five albums and several
singles for Blue Note, and critics likened her singing style to Dinah
Washington and Sarah Vaughan. At her club shows, Shaw dazzled
audiences with her intoxicating blend of straight-ahead jazz, soul,
pop, and classic R&B, but her recordings will also satisfy fans of
traditional jazz who have no prejudices about blues and R&B.
