The Marion Powers Quintet Honors Billie Holiday
Event's site
Nocturne, in partnership with Denver Jazz Fest, presents vocalist and bandleader Marion Powers with her Quintet as she honors the iconic Billie Holiday. Nicknamed "Lady Day," Holiday's prolific career and inimitable vocal style established her as a timeless voice in jazz.
Marion Powers is an award-winning jazz vocalist with dynamic improvisation skills and a modern but sensitive approach to songwriting/arranging. While heavily influenced by classic jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, and Sarah Vaughan, her experiences performing with or being mentored by Christian McBride, Dianne Reeves, Marshall Gilkes, Johnaye Kendrick, and Melissa Aldana have been instrumental to her artistic development.
Marion earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Jazz Performance from the University of North Texas. In addition to a busy performance calendar filled with dates in Colorado and throughout the United States, Marion maintains a worldwide voice studio and is a professor at the University of Northern Colorado.
