Music Review: Jane Monheit - The Lovers, Dreamers and Me
She’s been dubbed “Diana Krall-lite” by the jazz police, but Jane’s last album, Surrender, topped the Billboard jazz charts and the New York singer now performs to sold-out audiences all over the world. For her latest CD, Jane continues to vocally caress bossa novas like “A Primeira Vez” and such American songbook classics as Cole Porter’s “Get Out of Town.” But she also branches out into contemporary pop terrain, covering Paul Simon, Fiona Apple and Corrine Bailey Rae. A good move—even if the purists hate it.
