Klein has recorded its first-ever CD release with a select international Quintet songs that appear in films of the actress. A magnificent stroke of genius is the large retail succeeded he has taken care of with "My Marilyn" not only in Europe but also overseas sensation (only Diana Krall sold more CDs!).
In the processing of the songs which sang the jazz lover Monroe in her films, shows Klein have flair: He does not rely on pathetic roar, but in an unpretentious elegance.

She is accompanied by a hand-picked band in with Mulgrew Miller participates a pianist in a class.
Here, the Basler bandleader David Klein also profiled as eloquent, elegant as a soloist and skillful arranger. The icing on the cake 'i' are the contributions of Miriam Klein, which, though reciting the songs in strikingly sensuous manner, but never tried anything remotely to imitate the naive vocal style of Monroe.
