Mingus-Mitchell -Motown:

Join us as we interpret some musical classics of Charles Mingus, Joni Mitchell & Motown greats. From “GoodBye Pork Pie Ha”, “Big Yellow Taxi”, to “What’s Goin On”, Bassist Marlene Rosenberg and her quartet render the “low end” perspective to these songs and reverence to Charles Mingus’ works and bass playing.

She has been featured on multiple recordings, including her own, self-released, second CD; “ Pieces Of...” Featuring Cedar Walton and Javon Jackson soared on the Jazz charts with critical acclaim. “Her latest project “MLK Convergence” was recorded at Samurai Record Studio in NYC with Kenny Barron, Lewis Nash and Christian McBride (Christian McBride helped co-produce the CD) and Tom Burrell Vocals/Spoken Word.

JazzTimes Magazine; “ Marlene Rosenberg handily juggles roles on her album Pieces Of...” now stepping forward and intuitively understanding the time and place for each stance, Rosenberg amply shows why she’s one of the respected players.”

John Clayton, bassist, composer, arranger states; “One of Jazz, Bass, and Music world’s treasures! There is a great bass tone, great swing, and lovely fire in everything that Marlene does.”

Ed Thigpen, drummer expresses; “ What makes Marlene special is her strength and depth of understanding of music. In a world of clones, she has managed to emerge as her own person with her own sound and feel...her time feel is steady and swings like mad.”

In addition, to her performance tributes she is coordinator of the Jazz combo program at Northern Illinois University, as well as faculty, teaching the jazz and classical bass studio. At Roosevelt University, she is Instructor of Bass as an applied artist lecturer. Rosenberg holds a Masters of Music in Jazz Pedagogy, from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Bass and Composition from The University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.
