“Steve’s enunciation is excellent, and he can ‘scat’ with relaxed ease…Steve Marvin is a genuine jazz singer.” “It’s not often that you hear a man who can scat with authority. Steve Marvin can and does on his first CD, “The Years of My Youth”. ....THE SONGWRITERS SHOWCASE Bob Allen Review

 

​

​

“There are many good vocalists who are jazz oriented, but there are few who get as deeply into the tradition of John Hendricks, Mel Torme and Sarah Vaughn as does Marvin. With and outstanding jazz voice is the fifth axe in his Richmond/Boston group…this CD is testimony to the man’s philosophy and surprising artistry…hell of a showcase for the outstanding jazz man from Boston…not to be missed!” ....W. Pickowitz, Jr. JAZZ MESSINGER

​

“Steve Marvin is a classic child of bebop. He can sing straight but also reel off vocalese lyrics with speed and style as well as Torme, Murphy or any of the other big names. This live CD (Scullers) has him doing both very well…In addition to show pieces and ballads Marvin also struts his stuff on unlikely vehicles like ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’ and ‘Sweet Sue’. …he is a great Jazz singer.” ....Jerome Wilson CADENCE MAGAZINE Feb 1997

 

 

​“Steve has that great singer’s knack of telling stories big kids love to hear…he has no fear of taking chances…plays games with melodies, with feelings, …makes us laugh, cry and remember.” ....Fred Bouchard Correspondent,

& the host of 'CHANGES', WMBR, MIT RADIO

 

​

“Steve Marvin performs the vocalese numbers as an instrumentalist, but with his voice blending with the ensemble and displaying quite an extraordinary technique. ....Jim Santella L.A. JAZZ SCENE ​
