“The album is actually a tribute to two distinctive singers, one majestic voice from the past and one powerfully impressive songstress of today,” says ALL ABOUT JAZZ (2016 Album Review ‘The Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald’).
2x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Vocalist JANE MONHEIT has had plenty of milestone moments in establishing herself as one of today's best and most important jazz vocalists. Monheit had been highly touted out of college, finishing runner-up in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Vocal Jazz Competition in 1998. Over the ensuing 20+ years, Monheit has solidified her status as an impeccable interpreter of the Great American Songbook, combining her love for traditional straight-ahead jazz and the more cinematic songs from theatre and stage. A vocalist with remarkable virtuosity and innate interpretative skills, Jane Monheit puts her own unique touch on jazz standards and any song she sings. Monheit has released 15 acclaimed albums over the course of her career. "On her latest album, Come What May, Monheit continues to dazzle positively intoxicating," states DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE (2021 Album Review of Come What May). "A voice of phenomenal beauty," raves the NEW YORK TIMES.
