Jane Monheit

Jane Monheit has been a leading light and a wonderful role model since emerging as a finalist in the 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.

Jane’s most recent recording, The Heart Of The Matter, is a work deeply informed by Jane Monheit’s life— as a woman, wife, and mother in the second decade of a remarkable career— and it reaches emotional levels she attributes to an “extreme comfort zone” in the recording studio. “I think I’ve finally reached my level of onstage / live interpretation as well as in the studio.”

“When you’re playing music you love with people you love, it always makes for the best music.”
