Christmas with Martha Lorin and Diane Delin
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Music

LAMPKIN MUSIC GROUP PRESENTS "CHRISTMAS WITH MARTHA LORIN AND DIANE DELIN"
AT WEILL RECITAL HALL AT CARNEGIE HALL.
DECEMBER 21ST, 2007 AT 8:00 P.M.
TICKET ARE $30.00 - $40.00
AVAIABLE AT 1-212-247-7800.

Martha Lorin:

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 newest 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: 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 Bertencini, Larry Klein, Richie Coles, Von Freeman,
Fared Hague, Tommy Flanigan, and Billy Stritch.

"This very listenable package could serve as a "How-to" demonstration for
songwriters. There has been a sharp and lamentable fall-off in the quality of
American popular music from the glory days of Berlin, Porter, Kern, Rodgers and
Hart, and the rest. Martha has chosen her songs wisely.
Lorin is extremely fortunate in her choice of accompanist Paul Smith, who
provided the same service to the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald for good many
years. Listening to Martha, you know you're not hearing a "girl singer.' This is a
womanly performer, confidently mature, but with no sacrifice of femininity."
Steve Allen on Lorin's album, I Remember Ella.

"Sensual and smart are the stylings of Martha Lorin, …Lorin is a performer
who not only owns the low notes, she has a long-term lease on the high notes."
Barbara and Scott Siegel / Back Stage.

"A warm contralto that caresses the classics."
Dave Burns / Jazz Times.

"Gorgeous! Tasteful! Beguilingly Musical!"
Mary Rodgers / Williamson Music / Daughter of Richard Rodgers.

Diane Delin
Jazz violinist, composer, recording artist and educator Diane Delin
and her
music have been receiving great attention.  She has twice been voted a "Rising
Star" by Downbeat Magazine's Critic's Poll, and has received such comments
as: "Her elegance and expertise are always obvious," from Jazz Times Magazine, while the LA Times prints, "Delin produces improvisations of considerable style
and unmistakable integrity."  St. Louis' Sheldon Concert Hall gives her
"Standing Ovation!" while the Chicago Sun-Times remarks, "Her playing has a toughness and stringency to go with its elegance and verve," and Boston's jazz critic Fred Bouchard adds, "She's really a fine player with exquisite taste." 

Voted "Rising Star"
Downbeat Critics Poll 2007 & 2005.

"Violinist Diane Delin moves through musical ideas with such grace..."
Downbeat
"Delin's tone is rich and elegant, and yet she swings when the tune calls for
swinging or she's expressive the tune calls for emotional involvement that
other instruments cannot approach." 
Jazz Improv .  New York.

"Delin produces improvisations of considerable style and unmistakable
integrity." 
Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune.

Catch these two wonderful performers as they share the magic of the holiday
season.

Tickets are $30.00 - $40.00.
