Catherine Russell is a mature, one of a kind, vocalist, who defies easy categorization. Her singing encompasses jazz balladry, bordello blues, dance hall swing, jump blues, country, pop, and soul. Catherine Russell embodies the deepest heart of American music in a single voice. Catherine was born in 1956 with an enviable jazz pedigree. Her father, the late Luis Russell, was a pioneering pianist, composer, and bandleader of the seminal bands of 20th century American jazz and popular music. In 1935, Louis Armstrong named Luis Russell as his musical director and Russell's orchestra as his backing group. Catherine's mother, Carline Ray, is an outstanding bassist and vocalist and has performed with Mary Lou Williams and Wynton Marsalis. Catherine's growing reputation as a versatile and expressive singer led to a call from Paul Simon and a month long run in 1992 at the Paramount Theater in New York. She toured the globe with David Bowie as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. In addition, Ms. Russell has performed or recorded with a dizzyingly impressive array of trend setting artists, including Jackson Browne, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Feinstein, Madonna, Al Green, Dolly Parton, and Isaac Hayes, among others. Her repertoire features a selection of gems from the 1920s through the Present; vital interpretations, bursting with soul and humor. With an off-the-beaten-path song selection, sparkling acoustic swing, and a stunning vocal approach, Catherine Russell has joined the ranks of the greatest interpreters and performers of American Popular Song. Catherine Russell is that rarest of entities – a genuine jazz and blues singer – who can sing virtually anything.!
