What
is it about the songs of the
60's that magically draws us
back in time?
Just Groovin', the latest offering from Diane Marino, features
wonderful re-interpretations
of pop standards. These are
not copies of other
versions. Diane's fantastic
voice, accompanied by such
greats as Kirk Whalum, The
Rascals' Felix Cavaliere,
Wycliffe Gordon and Houston Person
among others, is a breath of
fresh air for these tunes,
reminding us once again that
a great song can be
interpreted in any number of
styles. As Diane puts it:
"There were so many great and diverse songs with no rules and no
boundaries. These were not
just "pop" songs, they were
songs of substance. They
were messages and emotions
that transcend time and
connect with us today. For
myself, these songs make me
smile after hearing the
first bar!
The songs I have chosen here are but a few that are wonderfully
timeless.
From great writers as Burt Bacharach to classic groups as The
Rascals, Beach Boys, The
Tymes and The Ronettes,
these songs offer a great
soundtrack to our memories.
I hope you will enjoy my interpretations here, as I left the
classic versions to the
great masters of that most
expressive and explosive
decade in music history!"
Peace & Love! |
