    Acclaimed blues and boogie pianist Eden Brent celebrates the national release of her latest CD, "Mississippi Number One"

     

    Brent is a native of Greenville MS whose distinctive mix of blues, jazz, soul, gospel and pop was described by one critic as “Bessie Smith meets Diana Krall meets Janis Joplin.” She developed her gutsy vocal-and-piano chops via family sing-a-longs before earning a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of North Texas. But it was a 16-year apprenticeship with Greenville's late blues pioneer Boogaloo Ames, who ultimately dubbed his protégé “Little Boogaloo,” that cemented her passion for a career in music.
