“ "The collaboration of Marino & Person for "Loads of Love" is a winning combination and a step in the right direction for traditional jazz. A gorgeous collection of blues-influenced ballads and love songs." Eric Harabadian- Jazz Inside Magazine May 3,2013 ”

— Eric Harabadian, Jazz Inside Magazine

“Diane Marino delivers yet again. Can this girl do no wrong? She absolutely nailed the 60s genre the last time out with her “jazz-i-fied” arrangements and now she slays the Great American Songbook with her new album “Loads of Love”. Here at WHLI, we just put several tracks into rotation. Definitely check this album out if you want to spend a little quality time curled up with some brilliant music. Anytime you combine terrific vocal performances with outstanding arrangements, you’re gonna get what you have here. A slam-dunk winner!”

— Paul Richards - Program Director, WHLI -NYC

“Just received “Loads of Love”... Let me say you have another winner. Excellent mix. I will be showcasing it within the next few weeks. Having a hard time picking 3 songs out, the whole CD is superb. I'm in love with "It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream" Houston's Sax and your voice is melting, better then Sarah Vaughan or Dinah Washington's versions. This will be a challenge to pick out 3 songs. Anyway just wanted to say congrats on the CD - it is great!”

— Sal Calfa, lejazzaffair.com

“DIANE MARINO/Loads of Love: Houston Person doesn’t just honk his sax here, he shows up as producer as well, and his first hand knowledge of the old days lends some special sauce to this piano bar set of classics. Knowing how to frame the songs and Marino’s piano playing vocals, the result is a high octane example of a classic piano bar thrush of a certain age delivering the goods with the kind of flair that keeps bringing you back night after night. A killer set for when you’re in the mood for some sophistication with bounce, this is first class, solid, adult listening that connects. Well done.”

— Chris Spector, Midwest Record

“Diane Marino “Loads of Love” .….. …..And joy, and happiness, and skills, and variation… and so this can be the shortest review of a CD.., but a wonderful CD and an asset to everyone’s collection… But should this be such a short review? No Way! Diane amongst the great musicians that accompany her lets you enjoy great music and great lyrics where variation and joy of making music is giving all her listeners these “Loads of Love”. Therefore it will be a pleasure to give the CD as much airplay as possible so every music lover will be convinced to get this CD in collection. Already looking forward to the next project because we can rest assure that this talent will not end for a long long time because “Loads of Love” can fill a lot more CD’s At least for now lots of luck with this CD and… thank you for the music!”

— Joost Van Steen: Host/Producer, Jazz & Blues Tour with Alphen Stad FM/TV (ASFM105.4) The Netherlands

“MusicDishTV | December 09, 2010- The very talented Diane Marino and Robert Lauri combine their musical worlds in an "international" duet of harmony and synergy in a French recording entitled "J'Ai Si Peur" (I'm So Afraid). The arrangements were done by Robert Lauri, who also composed the music along with Danielle Bennaim, with lyrics by Claudine Marousek-Dornhakl. The Marino-Lauri duet is unquestionably successful: Diane's voice complements Robert's beautifully, and the performance by both artists releases a magical harmony that tells the story of a couple who has been through the ups and downs of life and seen bad times, but who finally has found a love so strong and pure that they are finally no longer afraid anymore. Romantic to the core, whether you parlez vous Francais or not, you will enjoy this emotional and heart wrenching performance. Website: http://www.robert-lauri.com/dianemarino/”
