Jane Monheit The Songbook Sessions Ella Fitzgerald

One of the most successful contemporary jazz singers: at home with ballads, bluesy numbers and bop flag-wavers. Collectiom includes: Never Never Land (2000); Come Dream With Me (2001); In The Sun (2002); Taking A Chance On Love (2004); Surrender (2007); The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me (2009).

Vocalist Jane Monheit is a technically adept performer with a style steeped in the resonant, swinging jazz tradition of idols like Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland. It's a sound that helped her finish as runner-up in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute vocal competition, and one which she has applied over the years to a mix of Broadway and jazz standards, as well as bossa nova and Latin songs.
