4 out of 5 stars Definintive West Coast Jazz 4.5 stars.......2001-10-13

This Marilyn Scott CD along with her debut CD Smile is definitive of the West Coast Smooth Jazz movement which started in the early 90's. The albums usually hook you in the beginning, but tend to lose steam towards the middle tracks, and pick up again. This album in particular stays consitent throughout, and all of the tracks fit well. This lady has one of the few Jazz voices (Janis Siegel, Basia, Kevyn Lettau) that I dont have to listen to before I buy it.

The songs in my opinion that keep me hooked to this CD after 3 years are:

1.)My favorite track, "I Like To Dance" (This song will work at any 35-plus get together, your car on the open highway, or cleaning the house.)
It's light, fun and wont make you sweat out your good clothes

2.)"Starting To Fall" & "Hold You Up" which has a definite Gospel influence, and some quality producing, the mixing much fuller and compliments the warmth of her voice skills much better than her previous albums.

It's very unfortunate that she as such limited notoriety outside of the West Coast because she is up there with the overrated
Diana Krall's and the "up-and-coming" Jane Monheit's of the Jazz vocal world. Give it a listen, you wont be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars Listen to "The Last Day.".......1999-08-12

"The Last Day," absolutely wonderful and touching. We need more songs like this.

4 out of 5 stars Listen to the Last Day.......1999-05-20

Just caught "The Last Day" by Marilyn Scott on the local radio and intend on buying the CD. "The Last Day" is a touching, thought-provoking song that nearly brought tears to my eyes. It asks what would you do if this were your last day on earth - and why would you have to only think of these things if it WAS only your last day on earth. In checking out some of her other cuts from the CD, I think this might be someone to slip onto the CD player, grab a glass of Chardonnay, lean back and enjoy.

4 out of 5 stars Smooth Vocals; Relaxing Grooves........1999-02-08

Marilyn Scott has garnered mainstream attention with this album. Adult Contemporary radio stations gave light airplay to her first single "Starting to Fall," a soulful and mildly-upbeat track that showcases Marilyn's effortless vocal style. She can turn a phrase with such beauty and communicated enjoyment that the listener is drawn into a world of warm-blanket, soft-lighting and cup-of-coffee. Her second single, "The Last Day," a more traditional radio ballad, is generating more interest on A/C radio because of the touching melody and spiritual-minded lyric. Overall, a good listen-in-the-background album of smooth jazz with strong pop elements. Her voice is the focus.

3 out of 5 stars Some nice, soothing Jazz vocals to ease your day.......1998-08-21

Marilyn Scott's latest release, "Avenues of Love" presents a balanced mix of songs to enhance almost any mood. The opening tune, which is getting a lot of airplay is catchy and smooth. The "remake" of the vocal standard "The look of love" is rendered in a very listenable way that showcases Ms.Scotts style. There are a couple of tunes that don't quite bring out her best, but that's often the case on many CD's. Overall, I think this is a Jazz vocal CD that warrants a listen and caters to the tastes of jazz/pop fans that enjoy some nice, easy sounds, with a little pizzaz thrown in.
