"The Mood I'm In", Marlene with, The best of the British,
John Pearce, Paul Morgan, Bobby Worth, Mark Nightingale and Andy Panayi. Below are excerpts from the world wide reviews, USA, UK, Italy, Russia, etc.

"Marlene swings the high notes here, ... one of the finest small ensembles you've ever recorded with"
Marc Myers, Wall St Journal and Jazz Wax

"A wildly winning set throughout, this is a master class
on jazz vocal that you better show up on time for"CHRIS SPECTOR, http://www.midwestrecord.com/MWR1033.html

"the voice as bell-like clear and her brisk, no-nonsense but jazzy approach characterized as refreshing and ever-youthful. But facts are facts and the long-revealed truth, like her sound, remains as clear as that inevitably conjured-up bell."
Rob Lester, Talkin' Broadway

It's real jazz by a true master, and in addition - a magnificent and unique example of an active creative longevity. Bravo, Marlene! By Leonid Auskern (from Russia) http://jazzquad.ru/index.pl?act=PRODUCT&id=4385

"She confirmed, she is a very valuable singer who acts as a consummate storyteller..there is thanks to the total empathy with British musicians"
