(September 26, 2016) It was a decade ago that we introduced SoulTrackers to Chicago native Lori Jenaire. The vocalist and multi-instrumentalist (bass, piano and guitar), has played the club circuit and served as a studio singer on commercials and with such luminaries as jazz guitarist Stanley Clarke. Jenaire was influenced by Phyllis Hyman and Angela Bofill, and you can tell in her classic song stylings.
After several years away from the studio, Lori is back and bringing along longtime SoulTracks favorite Patrice Rushen. The result is the beautiful “As You Are,” a jazzy, soulful number that is a cover of a song that the great Ms. Hyman sang with Pharaoh Sanders in 1978. Lori’s fantastic version has instant classic written all over it.
Take a listen to Lori Jenaire’s “As You Are,” and tell us what you think!
