A second CD, "Making the Music Our Own" (2006), is a collection of nine Hebriac melodies recast in various jazz styles. Collectively, these two CDs have been aired on radio stations in 22 countries, including the United States. "Les Sentiments D'Amour" (with pianist Nada Loutfi) is his first classical CD project. In addition to composing, Marlow is researching a book on jazz in China.
