Found this article today. Sounds like Renee has been participating in a jazz duet project.

"Jazz vocalist 'Little' Jimmy Scott has embarked on a duet album/documentary project, which began with the recording of himself and longtime friend and actor Joe Pesci at Odds On Records & Studios. Several tracks were recorded in Odds On's Studio A SSL Duality room. Dee Dee Bridgewater also joined the session to record a duet with Little 'Jimmy' Scott for the project. Produced by Kemper-Music Germany, Ralf Kemper has created a stellar line-up of jazz legends to participate including Kenny Barron (piano), Joey de Francesco (organ) Oscar Castro Neves (acoustic guitar), John Pisano (electric guitar), James Moody (saxophone), Michael Valerio (bass), Peter Erskine (drums) Bob Mintzer (tenor sax) plus the czech philarmonic orchestra and recorded already selected duet partners as Diane Schuur, Reneé Olstead , Joe Pesci , Dee Dee Bridgewater and David Sanborn. During the recording sessions, the entire production crew was filmed and photographed to preserve these historic recording sessions."

The list of contributing artists is very impressive. They are music legends from different genres. Renee is obviously highly regarded by the jazz community, and I see this as a great honor to be included. Nice going Renee!

I have contact to Mr. Ralf Kemper.
Easier for me, because he speaks German :-)
That's great.
I must say "Thanks" to him!
