Featured
this week on The Jazz Network Worldwide: Vocalist, Lorraina Marro with a sneak
peek of her new single “Not The End Of Me” from her upcoming CD “Mixed
Emotions”.
Lorraina Marro is one who knows how to set the tone of her
musical offerings. Not only was her first CD “You Must Believe In Spring”
released in 2004 a welcome expression of her vocal stylings, she continues to
share her original lyrics in her upcoming CD “Mixed Emotions” Produced by
Christian Davis and Warren McRae. To whet the whistle of her fan base, she is
giving The Jazz Network Worldwide the first opportunity to get a taste of
what’s to come in February 2015 with her new CD project “Mixed Emotions”.
"I
am so thrilled to have my single "Not The End of Me" featured on the
Jazz Network Worldwide. I have been writing lyrics for years about some of my
own personal experiences and so excited to accomplish a life-long goal to put
some of those lyrics to music. I couldn't be happier to release my all original
CD at the Catalina Jazz Club on February 1, 2015, the same fabulous venue where
I released my first CD “You Must Believe In Spring” back in 2004.”
Marro
takes to heart the influences that guided her to her own musical expression. In
May of this year she celebrated her reverence to songstress Nancy Wilson with a
tribute performance at Catalina’s Bar and Grill in Los Angeles. Clifford Bell,
Marro’s musical director who has shared stages with many luminaries worldwide
stated “Catalina - (Yes, Virginia- There is a Catalina) had stayed the whole
night...something she literally almost never does and she LOVED the show....I
have known Catalina for ten years and she is the last gal standing from the
great Jazz Scene of the past, present and future...She has seen and heard
everyone....”. This performance was only the precursor of what was to show up
for Lorraina in 2014. Not only did she complete her second recording, she has
kept the momentum of her musical offerings in front of her fans.
Marro
also credits other extraordinary singers such as Barbra Streisand, Linda
Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin, Della Reese, Dinah Washington, Dionne Warwick, Sammy
Davis, Jr., and Frank Sinatra for inspiring her to develop and share her gift
with the world.
“She
takes her fans on a personal journey, for all to capture the essence of the
silver lining of her soul, from love, to the triangles of relationships and
starting over, much ado that we all can relate to in our lives. Her original
lyrics exude honest and pure expression that is ever present to her audience
when she is on stage” says Jaijai Jackson, Owner of The Jazz Network Worldwide.
The
musicianship on the recording are: Ely Rise: piano and organ; John Meenk:
guitar; Graham Ward: drums, Greg Sartiano: bass; in addition to: Warren McRae:
bass, drums, percussion, additional keyboards, synthesizer and guitar; Steve
McGuire: electric guitar, horns, additional percussion; and Chloe Love Smith:
background vocals and writers Christian Davis, Warren McRae, Steve McGuire,
Etienne “ATN” Stadwijk and Lorraina Marro.
Lorraina
has performed her own shows at multiple venues in Los Angeles, including
Preston’s, The House of Blues, Catalina Jazz Club, Nola’s LA, The M Bar, The
Hollywood Studio Bar & Grill, The Holly St. Bar & Grill, The Cinegrill,
The Gardenia, The Bel Age Hotel, the Marriott Hotels, and Wyndham Hotels. In
Las Vegas for The Special Operations Warriors Foundation at the Four Seasons,
The Aladdin, and The Las Vegas Hilton Hotels as well as Danny’s Skylight Room
in New York. Most recently, on December 7th, 2014 Lorraina assembled some great
musicians for “Let’s Toast To The Holidays” event at the local jazz hotspot
‘Upstairs At Vitello’s’ in Los Angeles ‘to a packed house. Award winning,
critically acclaimed jazz vocalist/lyricist, Mark Winkler attended and stated
“Wonderful show. Great choice of tunes, great musicians and you were the best
I've ever seen you. Congrats!”
No doubt
that the stage has been set by way of Marro’s new attitude and story-telling in
her musical repetoire. Her new single “Not The End Of Me” released during the
holiday season is surely a gift for her fans. A worldwide radio campaign is set
in motion to take the airwaves by storm for her new CD “Mixed Emotions” as well
as a concert tour in the works for 2015. Click here to view the debut music
