From her days singing with the Count Basie band as a replacement for Joe Williams, to her Indian summer of renewed popularity, Irene Reid always lived up to her moniker, the Queen of Uptown Blues. Like Dinah Washington & Esther Phillips, Irene had a church background and never lost that divine intensity or power to convey the emotions in a lyric. Her most notable post-Basie gig was playing the wicked witch on Broadway in InchThe Whiz.Inch Here is a program featuring Irene, the Charles InchMighty BurnerInch Earland, Eric Alexander and the rest of the crew doing what Irene did best The Uptown Blues.
