Lorraina Marro� honored as a Jazz Living Legend in Los Angeles in�July 2015 is authentically original in every area of creativity. Born and�raised in Los Angeles, California, Lorraina Marro has made her mark�as a classy, sophisticated and talented jazz vocalist, who is�passionate about her music and committed to interpreting songs in�her own style. Her remembrances of herself as a child was one who�was shy and insecure, but she knew she enjoyed singing. As maturity�grew, she found her wellspring of expression. Her inner voice kept�pulling her toward the song in her heart. In 2004, she gave herself�the gift of song with her debut CD “You Must Believe In Spring,”�encompassing songs from some of her favorite composers: Alan &�Marilyn Bergman, Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley, Ann Hampton�Callaway, George & Ira Gershwin, Lerner & Lowe and Maury Yeston.�

Marro credits such extraordinary singers such as Nancy Wilson, 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.�

Marro takes to heart the influences that have guided her to her own musical expression. In�May of 2014 she celebrated her reverence to songstress Nancy Wilson with a tribute�performance at The Catalina Bar & Grill in Los Angeles. Clifford Bell, Marro’s musical�director who has shared stages with many luminaries worldwide stated “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.�

No doubt that the stage has been set by way of Marro’s new attitude and musical repertoire.�A worldwide radio campaign is in motion to take the airwaves by storm for her new CD�“Mixed Emotions”� as well as a concert tour in the works for 2015-2016.�

Lorraina is a very perceptive woman, she see’s the common denominator�in all of us from our life’s experiences, the highs and lows of love evolving�and ever-changing. As a seasoned lyricist, Marro put pen to paper for her�new CD “Mixed Emotions” released February 1, 2015. Her original songs�are so telling of a woman who has loved, nurtured and experienced sincere�heart tugs; and yet despite the heartaches, has persevered with confidence�in beginning life anew. One thing you will find in listening to these offerings�is that a story is being told, one we can all relate to, man or woman, young�and old. Love has many sides and what Lorraina shares on her new project�inspires us to "keep going and to keep your eye and heart on the prize�before you.”�

“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.�

"HOW GLAD I AM" - a Tribute to Nancy Wilson"�May 28, 2014�Review by Buddy Sampson, The ScoopLA�

The Catalina Jazz Club was the locale of a wonderful�evening of jazz, spearheaded by the sensational�performance of singer Lorraina Marro, whose show�“How Glad I Am,” was a fine tribute to vocal legend�Nancy Wilson. “Nancy Wilson was the reason I started�singing,” said Lorraina Marro.�

She started her set with her version of “You’d Be Nice�To Come Home To,” a bluesy number that featured�her playful vocals and started giving the audience a�sense of her playfulness and charm.   But the best�song of her set was “You’re Just Too Good To Be�True,” a song that truly emphasized her penchant for�entertainment, flirting with the audience to great effect.�

Lorraina Marro has a light, but aggressive style to her�vocals. Her personal stories and the passion of her�vocals reflect the struggles of being a very talented�singer with a dream deferred. She’s a true show lady�and a consummate entertainer. If you want to enjoy a�romantic, but great evening of jazz with your girl or�guy, make it a point to be at one of her next shows." �

"Wonderful show Lorraina. Guess Who I Saw today,�Can't Take My Eyes Off You and Fireworks -- were�great! Swingin' band-- and the duets were super."�Mark Winkler, Singer/Songwriter�

"Lorraina's� performance in her tribute to Nancy�Wilson was outstanding.  I had the honor of attending�this bands concert last night. Lorraino's tribute to�Nancy Wilson was a spectacular performance, one I�hope she repeats at other venues. The band doubled�the delight." �John Catoe, Audience Participant�

"We were at your performance last night. You were�wonderful! We love the Catalina Jazz Club, and your�show is one our favorites! Love your song choices!�Thank you so much for a great evening, it was our�35th anniversary, you helped make it a night to�remember!"  �Tina Jenkins, Audience Participant�

She’s a true show lady and a�consummate entertainer.�

CATALINA JAZZ CLUB, LOS ANGELES�September 13, 2015�Review by Myrna Daniels, L.A. Jazz Scene�

Vocalist� Lorraina Marro� looked elegant as�she came on stage dressed in a long navy�gown. She's an attractive woman who was at�ease on stage and connected easily with the�audience, which was filled with an�enthusiastic crowd. It turned out to be a fun�evening for everyone. “The Man Who Got�Away” was a strong choice, as Marro turned�the heat up for more drama. Likewise, “I�Cried For You” was a full-blown, fast moving�vehicle for everyone on stage to up the�energy for a snappy ending. The audience�was cheering and applauding Marro’s efforts.�Singer Sceaming Jay Hawkins wrote “I Put A�Spell On You” in 1955, which was a big hit for�Nina Simone. Marro did a fine job,�concentrating on the lyrics with a strong,�dramatic attack. This was one of my favorites�of the night. Marro started “What Kind of Fool�Am I” with a whispery voice, very emotional�as the audience sat quietly. She ended with�a stronger voice, pleading, with the lyrics,�“Why can’t I fall in love?” The last tune was�“Make Someone Happy” and I’d have to say,�Lorraina Marro made her audience pretty�darn happy on this evening.�

DANNY'S SKYLIGHT ROOM, NEW YORK -�Review by Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online�

On Friday, October 15, 2004, I saw two shows, the first being Los Angeles�based Lorraina Marro's "You Must Believe in Spring" show.   Musical�director Tedd Firth, who Ms. Marro had only met a few days earlier, led his�trio as though they had played this show a dozen times before. The result�was a polished, professional performance. With heavenly vocals that lean�to the jazz style, this was an evening that I enjoyed completely. I look�forward to a return visit from that super�singer soon.�

CD RELEASE SHOW MAY 2004 - CATALINA JAZZ CLUB, LOS ANGELES�Review by Gina Zollman, Beverly Hills Outlook�

The recent CD release party for Lorraina Marro's first recording, "You Must�Believe In Spring," held at the new Catalina Bar and Grill in Hollywood, was�a stellar event, almost reminding me more of a lavish wedding than a�jazz/cabaret show! With over 100 guests in attendance, there was a festive�atmosphere as all awaited the lady of the moment, Lorraina Marro.�

Decked out in a figure-hugging black sheath with a sparkly, sequined�shawl, Lorraina humbly assumed the diva position center stage and�really let go. Unassuming and sweet-natured, Lorraina Marro delivered on�the promise of her professional-looking promotional materials and great�website: she was so elegant and easy-going and naturally charming,�pulling off this high-pressure coup like she had been doing�it forever.�

Lorraina Marro's voice was dreamy and consistently smooth, with a slight,�sweet vibrato. Her end notes were held out for all to admire, so true and�clear and bell-toned. Many of the songs I had never heard before; they�were lyrically very rich, and the tunes were pleasing, all in the right key for�Lorraina's sumptuous vocals.�

Lorraina finished up her delightful set with an encore, after a rousing and�well-deserved standing ovation. "The Shadow of Your Smile" was a�pleasing, sentimental coda to an honest, well-rehearsed and superbly�mounted CD party to beat the band. This song was really a salute to that�saloon singer extraordinaire, Sinatra, and capped a classy and musical�morning. Well done, Lorraina and company, they don't make 'em like you�anymore. �

THE GALA BENEFIT FOR THE CHILDREN OF�HEROES, HILTON HOTEL, LAS VEGAS - Richard�Steinberg, National Chair�

“There’s that moment of magic when the night�and the day are precisely balanced on the�horizon; and magic is in the gentle breeze.�There’s that moment of magic when the air is�so still that you can actually hear inspiration�call to you.           �

And there’s Lorraina Marro on stage.�

Her gentle crafting's, lyrical excellence, charm�and style wrap around any song that she sings�to perfection.  She takes the stage, the�audience noisily busies themselves with their�drinks or whatever, then suddenly become�silently rapt by the pure magic she weaves.”�

Audience Comments�

"All we can say about Lorraina Marro is WOW!" �Upstairs at Vitello's�"You were absolutely red HOT last night Lorraina!!! I�enjoyed your show so much and your band was so�great too!!! Such a memorable evening!!! Love� you!!! XO"  �Jonathan Weitz, Audience Participant�

"Congratulations on an absolutely marvelous show!�You sounded fantastic -- what a set of pipes you�have! -- looked wonderful and are such a�consummate entertainer. Tender, thrilling, funny,�touching! Thank you so much for such an enjoyable�evening!"  �Ada Bird Wolfe, Vocalist� �

"LOVED your show, you were fabulous!!! xoxo .�Thank you Lorraina Marro for such a beautiful�evening, and you and your DIVA self looked�fabulous!! xoxo"� �Christine Vert, Audience Participant�
