“This is it. Marianne Solivan’s Prisoner of Love is probably the best vocal jazz record of the year. The exquisiteness, expression and sentiment of her singing are supreme and matched only by her skill in enunciation.”

“Marianne Solivan Prisoner Of Love HIPNOTIC 10007 ★★★★ ”

“It’s hard to believe that this is Solivan’s debut recording. She has all the poise and artistic wherewithal that reveals a true veteran artist. Solivan draws from classic jazz touchstones in terms of her vocal phrasing or choice of mate- rial. But she unabashedly embraces the jazz lexi- con and makes it her own. ”

“On her latest CD Prisoner of Love, vocalist Marianne Solivan surrounds herself with some A-list, hard-swinging company.  They include guitarist Peter Bernstein, pianists Michael Kanan and Xavier Davis, bassists Christian McBride and Ben Wolfe,  drummer Johnathan Blake, and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, who produced the disc. The first, but not the biggest, compliment I can give Solivan is that she sounds every bit in the same league as these seasoned accompanists, making a program of smartly chosen standards come alive in the moment.”
