Blessed with “a voice of phenomenal beauty” (Stephen Holden, New York
Times), Jane Monheit has had plenty of milestone moments in establishing
herself as one of today’s best and most important vocalist-musicians. From
being labeled a musical prodigy to her first runner-up finish in 1998’s
Thelonious Monk International Vocal Competition, her ingénue looks and
passion for the *Great American Songbook* led her to producing *Songbook
Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald*, her tenth studio recording since her 2000
debut, *Never Never Land*.

Monheit explains, "The Great American Songbook is always going to be the
core for me. I have a real sense of pride and purpose about keeping it
alive, bringing the music to new generations. It’s a national treasure. I’m
really proud to be one of the singers that people want to hear handling
that material.”
