The Pines Presents: Jane Monheit

Jane Monheits sense of liberation is apparent throughout her many recordings and in everything she does. It can be felt in her wide- ranging choice of material, in the unique arrangements, and in her own fearless performances and interpretations. As comfortable singing Lennon /McCartney, as she is with Cole Porter, Monheit's range and vocal skills are rarely heard today.

Jane Monheit has been a leading light and a wonderful role model since emerging as a finalist in ther Thelonious Monk Institute's 1998 vocal competition. In addition to her own recordings, she has worked alongside many illustrious artists who have easily recognized her talent and commitment to hard work. She currently is building a show and a recording of the music of one of the grand stars of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald.

The show is entitled Jane Monheit Sings Ella Fitzgerald's the Songbook Sessions.
