O’s Notes: Contemporary jazz vocalist, composer Jenna McLean released two albums in 2025. For Your Love is the focus of this review. Jenna redrafts a half dozen standards to go along with three easy-listening originals like the title track. She’s backed by Jack McManaman (g), Tom Amend (keyboards), Matt Smiley (b), and Chris Smith (d). The music is peaceful, not overly done, and will appeal to the country, western audiences especially tunes like “I Must Be In A Good Place Now”. We enjoyed the bluesy “Send For Me” and “When The Sun Comes Out”.
