“I want to get away from the drama, and celebrate what we all loved about Judy...the immense joy she brought through song, and her innate understanding of jazz. She did so much more than break hearts, she put them together again, and that’s what we’re going to be about with this show.” –Jane Monheit
An extraordinarily gifted jazz vocalist whose sincere and romantic interpretations of exceptional songs have made her a favorite in both the jazz and cabaret worlds, Jane Monheit has garnered numerous accolades in the past decade. Her first album, Never Never Land, was voted top debut recording by the Jazz Journalist’s Association and stayed on the Billboard jazz chart for over a year; subsequent albums yielded two Grammy nominations. In addition to her own recordings, Monheit has worked alongside the likes of Terence Blanchard, Tom Harrell, and Ivan Lins.
