Thanks for sending “A Sleepin’ Bee” to me. Diane’s voice is rich and full and her piano playing is superb. I love the mix of standards and Brazilian tunes. The playing by all the musicians is 1st class. I have 2 Jazz shows here in Auckland NZ and will be playing tracks from this great CD!

“A Sleepin’ Bee” by Diane Marino has been the most wonderful Jazz CD I’ve received this year. Can’t have a favorite because we’ve played all of them. Also the Portuguese tracks are soft and wonderful. Excellent work from a wonderful vocalist and quartet.

This is a classy CD! Especially Track #13…I’ve never heard “Killer Joe” recorded in such a classy fashion. Track #4 (You Don’t Know What Love Is) really shows Ms. Marino’s beautiful voice. She sounds like a pre-Ella Fitzgerald. A baby Ella as I’ve been calling her. The band is great as well. This Cd is not “sleepin’’! I really love it.

Loved the variety in the choice of standards…from Rogers & Hart to Horace Silver and Benny Golson. The music stimulates with the different formats. Diane’s voice is stirringly theatrical and at the same time sincere. The musical expertise is superb.
