Retrospective jazz revue featuring music from Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Bessie Smith and Carmen McRae in a command performance at Aretha's Jazz Cafe, Feb 10 @ 8p.
- Detroit, MI (1888PressRelease) January 25, 2022 - Jazz retrospective, THE SATIN DOLL REVUE is back by popular demand at Aretha’s Jazz Café on February 10th. Like the fine rides made in the Motor City back in the day this one’s firing on all cylinders. Step back in time as narrator Carmen McRae, played by DJ Lady Love, takes us on a trip through the passages of jazz using the songs and stories of great women in their field.
It all started twenty years ago when Sky Covington put together a tribute show to Billie Holiday and it hasn’t stopped since. In 2022 the dolls include Dinah Washington, Etta James, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, and Bessie Smith. But it’s more than just jazz, it’s theater, it’s a history lesson, it’s a downright great time.
Each of the ladies are native Detroiters involved in the music scene in a variety of levels, none below fabulous. Kimmie Horne has toured the world with her jazz-pertice and brings a cool and confident Sarah Vaughn which is a nice balance to the gritty grooves of Tosha Owens’ Etta James. Powerhouse Faye Bradford presents Nina Simone and to shake it up Nina Simone Neal pays homage to Dinah Washington. Internationally admired, Thornetta Davis better known as Detroit’s Queen of the Blues returns with the class and sass for Bessie Smith and the house will be brought down by the beloved Billie Holiday as only Sky Covington can. Every generation will appreciate and enjoy this experience, middle school, middle age, or old enough to feel medieval, this jazz is for you!
