Editor's info:
Soulful jazz vocalist Charenee Wade releases her interpretation of the revolutionary music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson. On 'Offering' the Monk Competition finalist is featured alongside Marcus Miller, Christian McBride, Stefon Harris, Lakecia Benjamin, Lonnie Plaxico, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and others.
Known for expert vocal improvisational ability and her seriously swinging groove, Wade evokes a classic jazz sound akin to Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan, two of her musical touchstones. With her debut, 'Offering: The Music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson', she pays tribute to another inspiration, the socially conscious poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron, and confirms that she too plans to use her artist platform thoughtfully.
The first full-length album tribute to Scott-Heron and his musical collaborator Brian Jackson by a female artist, 'Offering' is arresting in just how timely Scott-Heron's messages are today and how perfectly Wade delivers them through her savvy arrangements and intimate jazz interpretations of classics like "Home is Where the Hatred Is", "Ain't No Such Thing as Superman" and "Peace Go With You Brother".
