Sarah Marie Young
With her July 2013 release at Schubas in Chicago, and packed shows at the 2012 Montreux Jazz Festival and Chicago Jazz Festival, Sarah Marie Young’s live show led by her intoxicating voice is not to be missed.
Vocally, Sarah Marie Young’s range and agility is stunning, with lush, intimate harmonies on “Too Late To Say Goodbye” accompanied by her trusty baritone ukulele. Title track “Too Many Februaries” and r&b jams like “Pretty Baby” and “Good Morning To You” showcase the entire band’s abilities, as well as Sarah’s dynamic voice, which carries you right into the heart of her emotions.
Dutch hi-res label SnipRecords signed Sarah early 2014 and recorded her second full length album Little Candy Heart. Her new soulful album will also consist of originals, with an R&B influence. It will be released as a high resolution (96kHz/24bit) download, but will also be made available as lower resolution downloads, including iTunes.

Paul Marinaro: Not Quite Yet
by Pierre Giroux
Singer Paul Marinaro issued his acclaimed debut album Without A Song (122 Myrtle Records) in 2013.

Accompanying Marinaro are longtime band members guitarist Mike ...

by Richard J Salvucci
The cover of the album is vaguely noir, with the urban greenish cast of tungsten film. A sole figure leans slightly against a building, downcast, staring into his soul, and waiting out a lit cigarette when it was still hip to smoke. The guy is Frank Sinatra and the album was In The Wee Small Hours. The year is 1955. It is difficult to believe that jny: Chicago-based vocalist Paul Marinaro has even been born, but clearly, Sinatra will make ...

by Richard J Salvucci
Evocative. Soulful. Regretful. Plaintive. But in no sense downbeat. Oddly edifying, joyful in places. Steve Million's compositions and Sarah Marie Young's voice were plainly intended to blend. And they do so in an emotionally stirring landscape of the heart which is powerfully affecting. You find yourself conjuring up quiet journeys, emotional and otherwise, from the past. Wintry, yes, but hopeful too. This is music of the heart, by and for the heart. Starting out with Heavens to ...

by Bruce Lindsay
Sarah Marie Young's Little Candy Heart occupies the space where jazz, soul and classic R&B meet and exchange ideas. On this evidence, it's a great place to be. Young's first release on Dutch download-only label SnipRecords is one of the most beautiful albums of 2014. Stylistically there's an old-school vibe going on: song-focussed and soulful. Chicago-based Young has a talent for writing songs that feel familiar but never sound clichéd or sterile--proper songs, with universal themes, memorable melodies ...

by Alex Marianyi
Who needs a drummer, anyway? Not Sarah Marie Young. It's a certainty that the Chicago-based vocalist has nothing personal against drummers, but despite the absence of drums and percussion on Expressive, the rhythmic intensity, drive and energy they normally bring to the music are certainly not lacking. Expressive's tracks demonstrate considerable variety, from tempo to time signature to style. Goodbye To You and Me," a loping jazz waltz, features Young's sensitive and relaxed swing feel, while her ...
