About Marlene Rosenberg

Rosenberg’s official biography presents her as a bassist, composer, educator, and clinician with a long Chicago performance practice. It documents touring and recording as a collaborator while keeping those credits separate from four self-produced albums under her own leadership.[1]

The biography also records work with tap dancers, guest-artist residencies, adjudication, and university master classes. These activities broaden her profile beyond club dates without turning every collaborator or educational visit into a permanent ensemble affiliation.[1]

MLK Convergence, released in 2019, brings Rosenberg together with pianist Kenny Barron and drummer Lewis Nash, with guest contributions by Christian McBride and Tom Burrell. Her official music and video archives provide direct listening across that album and earlier leader work.[1][2]
