Billboard #1 pop/jazz vocalist Jane Monheit, will celebrate the release of her new CD, Come What May, with a special virtual concert, streaming live from Feinstein’s at Vitello’s, on Friday, March 12 at 8:00 PM EST. The CD, on the Club 44 label, commemorates her 20th anniversary as a best-selling recording artist.
Come What May, produced by Monheit, Wayne Haun and Jamey Tate (also available on digital platforms), features new interpretations of Songbook standards, honed after years of performing on the road. Tracks include “I Believe in You” (Frank Loesser), “Lush Life” (Billy Strayhorn) and “Samba Do Avião” (Antônio Carlos Jobim), also known as “Song of the Jet,” reflecting Monheit’s love of Brazilian music.
Monheit studied voice at the Manhattan School of Music with Peter Eldridge, a founding member of the vocal group New York Voices, and was first runner-up in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute’s vocal competition. Her debut album, Never Never Land (2000), featured jazz all-stars Kenny Barron, Ron Carter and Lewis Nash. The first of four recordings for N-Coded Music, the label founded by Dave Grusin, Larry Rosen, and Phil Ramone, it was voted “Best Recording Debut” by the Jazz Journalists Association and stayed on the Billboard jazz chart for a year. Her follow up, Come Dream with Me (2001), debuted at #1 on the Billboard jazz chart. The 2003 DVD/CD Live at the Rainbow Room, was followed by the Grammy Award-nominated Taking a Chance on Love, her debut for Sony (2004). Other major recordings include: the Christmas-themed The Season (Sony, 2005); Surrender (Concord, 2007) and The Lovers, The Dreamers and Me (Concord, 2009).
