Martha Lorin, hailing from Colorado and now based on the East Coast, has been praised by critics worldwide for the brilliance of her tone, the beauty of her voice and her exceptional way with a lyric. Martha has received a Back Stage Bistro Award, a Billboard Award for her songwriting abilities, and continues to raise the bar for new jazz singers on the rise with every new recording she releases. The current CD Don't Slam That Door—The Many Moods of Martha Lorin is a collection of new and re-released recordings from 1980 till 2004, that will be released in late 2007. It features Martha's work with jazz legends Pee Wee Ellis, who arranged Martha's debut album, The Best Is Yet To Come, film score legend Mark Isham; and includes the rare cut “Last Night When We Were Young" arranged and accompanied by Russ Kassoff (Liza Minnelli, Frank Sinatra, Sylvia Syms). She has appeared in many prestigious concert hall/clubs: Carnegie Hall/Weill Hall, Town Hall, Birdland, Eighty Eight's, Iridium, the Plush Room, Jazz at Pearl's in San Francisco, Playboy Club in Japan and the Philippines, and nightclubs from Vancouver to Paris. Martha has worked with some of the finest Jazz musicians including the late Johnny Frigo, Gene Bertoncini, Larry Klein, Richie Coles, Von Freeman, Fared Hague, Tommy Flanagan and Billy Stritch.

Reviews:

“For me, the hallmark of a really good singer is versatility and Martha possesses this gift in abundance. Having heard her sing “Love Me Or Leave Me" and “Get Happy" at Feinstein's in Manhattan, her Ruth Etting show should be a winner!" —Roger Schore, Lyricist with composers: Bill Evans; Billy Strayhorn & more

“Martha Lorin burned with a hot blue(s) fire and a smokey sensuality at her recent appearance at Feinstein's at Loew's Regency. She has style to burn!" —Scott Siege, producer/siegelentertainment
