Marjoleine Leene - vocale jazz
Marjoleine studeerde jazz zang aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. In haar eindexamenprogramma (1999, theater de Tobbe) waren 4 eigen composities opgenomen. In de jaren na haar studie volgde Marjoleine masterclasses en workshops van o.a. The New York Voices en Cathrine Sadolin.Erik van Lier en Henk Meutgeert over Marjoleine : "Fantastisch zangtalent, ook wat betreft de vrije improvisatie” (juryrapport bigbandconcours Velsen 2002). Van Greetje Kauffeld kreeg zij tijdens het C.v.A. Bigband Festival 2000 in Den Haag een compliment voor haar eigen compositie "Something has changed!".
Marjoleine's eigen werk (teksten en muziek) sluit bijna naadloos aan op het bekende jazz standard repertoire.
Vanaf 1996 is Marjoleine te horen in diverse formaties van duo tot bigband (ondermeer: The New Quartet, All Times Bigband).
Sinds 2008 samenwerking met Intrioduction en de cd "Intrioduction featuring Marjoleine Leene" met songs (muziek en tekst) geschreven door Marjoleine en jazz standards. Marjoleine Leene - zang, Harry Happel - piano, Frits Landesbergen - drums, Mary Hehuat - contrabas en Koos van der Hout - trompet.
