This creative mosaic of music led to ....Diane's latest CD.. 'Just Groovin'..... Critically acclaimed, "..'Just Groovin'.. is a stellar collection featuring twelve wonderful re-interpretations of pop standards from the sixties. These are not copies of other versions. Diane's fantastic voice and arranging 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"… Bob Perry – The Penthouse Radio. .... Diane's debut jazz quartet CD '..A Sleepin' Bee..' was released in 2003 and has received national acclaim charting on the national charts as well as receiving extensive radio airplay and rave reviews.

'On the Street Where You Live'.., released in May of 2004 has also received national acclaim charting on the national jazz charts and proves once again that Diane is a natural whether playing, singing, or both.

Diane is joined by bandmates Frank Marino (bass), Mitch Reilly (saxes/flute), and Chris Brown (drums). .... Singer/pianist Diane Marino was born in Manhattan, NYC.

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!" ....
