Stoop Sessions: Marie Alexandre
Advertisement
Forest Park Arts Alliance connects local musicians with residents to host a 1-hour concert on their front porch during the Summer months (June - August).
StoopSessions are open to the public and free of charge. Join your neighbors, pull up your chair or a blanket and enjoy local entertainment in the summer breeze.
Marie Alexandre is one of the hidden gems of Chicago vocal jazz. Drawing from her love of modern and Brazilian jazz, Marie’s set list includes songs written by many jazz instrumentalists. They are given new life with words that, in some cases, she has penned!
In November of 1996 Marie was elected by her peers to the Board of the Chicago Local AFTRA and served one term ending in November 1999. During that same time, Marie was hosting a vocal jam session VOCALBop, with a house band that included Steve Million, Phil Gratteau and various local Bass players.
Her many experiences include working with Eddie Higgins, Dolph Castellano, Rich Daniels et al. Marie swings hard, as can be noted by her one and only CD, entitled YULE FOOL, a mainly traditional set of Christmas songs performed in a jazz style. Although she studied classical piano for many years, jazz was where her heart sang. Today, Marie can be found performing live in parks and festivals around Chicagoland.
StoopSessions are sponsored by Mark Hanson, State Farm Agent.
