She puts plenty of feeling into the lyrics that she interprets and has a style all her own that was originally inspired by Nancy Wilson. On Love Is For All Time, she chose songs that deal with love on all different levels. "The promise of new love, loss of love, sassy kind of love, and love for other people in general; I've experienced it all. I've lived long enough to sing about my own truth." For this special project, she performs with a top-notch group of top Los Angeles-based musicians. Pianist Steve Rawlins, bassist Jennifer Leitham, drummer Steve Pemberton form the core trio and are joined by three guest soloists: tenor-saxophonist Rickey Woodard, trumpeter Dr. Bobby Rodriguez, and guitarist Grant Geissman. The singer interprets such numbers as a Latinized "Stairway To The Stars, " the swinging "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" (which has a fine tradeoff by Woodard and Rodriguez), a playful "My Baby Just Cares For Me, " and her heartfelt interpretation of "When The World Turns Blue." She sings in Spanish during "Viajera del Rio, " sounds joyful on the Billie Holiday-associated "I Wished On The Moon, " and concludes the program by effectively vocalizing in both Spanish and English on "Yesterday I Heard The Rain." Lorraina Marro was born and raised in Los Angeles. She loved to sing as a child and, in addition to Nancy Wilson, she credits Barbra Streisand, Sarah Vaughan and Linda Ronstadt as some of her early influences and inspirations. She performed standards on her recording debut You Must Believe In Spring and followed it up with Mixed Emotions, a set in which she wrote the lyrics for all nine songs. In her career Ms. Marro has performed at many of Los Angeles' top venues (including creating a tribute to Nancy Wilson at Catalina Bar & Grill), in New York (the Metropolitan Room and Danny's Skylight Room), and Las Vegas. A vocalist who has the maturity and depth to fully understand the words that she sings, Lorraina Marro is in top form throughout Love Is For All Time, her finest recording to date. Lorraina Marro was named one of L.A.'s Jazz & Blues Living Legend Honorees in 2015. Living Legend's "JazZabration" was created to celebrate International Jazz Day and to annually select artists that have dedicated 25+ years of their life to Jazz or Blues. write your comments about the article :: © 2021 Jazz News :: home page |
