Latest Review: “Jazz singer Martha Lorin has been a continuing artist in residency at Cafe Noctambulo at Pangea this year. I attended her most recent appearance at the club. I would be hard-pressed to think of a better room for this kind of sophisticated, intimate jazz show. Lorin is a take-charge, take-no-prisoners jazz vocalist in a long line of strong, talented female singers like Anita O’Day. There is a sense of adventure and abandon in her set that is thrilling and can even be a bit daunting to an audience member who might not yet trust her musical powers. She delights in shifting and bending time to a sometimes audacious degree, but always comes out on top. While there may be a planned set, her adherence to it is by no means assured. Her very talented trio—Matthew Fries on piano, wunderkind John di Fiore on drums, led by Steve LaSpina on bass—opened with an instrumental of “I’m Old Fashioned” (Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer). Lorin was so taken with it that she talked them into playing an entirely different arrangement for her to sing as her first song. This kind of freedom is heady stuff for an appreciative audience.” Gerry Geddes, Bistro Awards…

What a grand way to celebrate a year in the life! Come hear Martha Lorin and her trio swing the songbook as none other can. be a bit daunting to an audience member who might not yet trust her musical powers.
