Paul Marinaro - Without A Song (2013)

After spending a decade working in Chicago climbing the ranks as a respected, straight-ahead jazz singer, Paul Marinaro introduces himself to those who've not had the opportunity to hear him perform live with his debut album, Without a Song, in tribute to his father. Paul masters the essence of both ballads and up-tempo swing with equal ease and his interpretations are, at the same time, modern yet sentimental. His delivery places the utmost attention on intelligent but playful lyrical understanding and though influenced by the masters of the genre, he is a true original, sounding only like himself; a modern classic.
