I just got in from her concert at St. Louis' Jazz At The Bistro. Her voice TRULY is rich and beautiful! PLUS she has sass and soul! You gotta check her out!
I would love to hear Jane Monheit sing Summertime - she is awesome and probably my favorite female vocalist ever. Hope she reads this and considers singing Summertime.
@oc714cal LOL - I just listened to it again and thought I would post (not remembering that I had already posted a "Best version" compliment. Still the best.
The sincerity of her makes me cry. It was love at first listen. Jane's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", containing the lead-in or preamble is so sweet. I played Jane's treatment of that song for my Wife, as she lay dying of cancer, on the afternoon of Sunday, June 9, 2002. The song made her smile. Thank God for the talent of Jane Monheit.
Heavens to murgatroid! What a voice! I love this song from the 30's...and this lovely lady gives an exquiste version of it! THANKS so much for posting this for us to enjoy! This is the first time I've heard of this talented young lady. Sheer heaven to listen to! I hope you & yours are enjoying your HAPPIEST holiday season ever! :)
unfortunately this is not the same rendition on the album. I actually don't know which one is better. Both are different but awesome. I do believe that she preferred this version but was under the influence of the label. "Those days are gone." as she put it.
Jane is wonderful she feels the songs she sangs and expresses them so well. The song, "More Than You Know", expresses my heart for how I feel about my love, thank you Jane.
Compared to Billie Holiday (qui a interpêté ce titre pour la première fois) Jane, this pretty creature, sings this song with a touch of erotic charme- tandis que Billie sings with her heart, chante avec tout son coeur - et pour cela est beaucoup plus authentique que Jane.
What a throwback to the past. She is refreshing. If this is not a respectful, loving tribute to the past, I don't know what is. Isn't it great to see?
in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck
Yeah, Jane's awesome! She can sing anything! Music is in her soul. The whole band is incredible. Jane usually takes time out to sign autographs for her fans...very nice lady!
She can pull it off! And the metal of her voice fits the jazz genre. I have to disagree with you tadd1, she is very good! Although I will agree that she is not 'the' best, she can still sing this song beautifully. Therefore, stop moaning about the greedy producers who promote her in the music industry and better moan about truly untalented famous singers... Jane Monheit is not one of them! Go complain about the "qualified", i.e. big boobed singers that are the disgrace of today's music industry.
I like how they cut to a webcast view of the performance or something. I like watching it in a small window on a computer... while watching it in a small window on a computer.
@slerner Its a recent staple of 'modern' journalism; the indirect shot. Like shooting an anchorman by actually shooting him through a rear-view mirror or some other obstacle to standard 'direct' techniques. Its supposed to draw attention because its not how we normally perceive journalists.
Excellent rendition! Jane is one of the great interpreters of jazz in my opinion (of the twenty-first century). The lyrics obviously mean something to her, and it's quite obvious when you listen!
WOW THIS GIRL IS JUST GORGEOUS AND HAS AN AMAZING VOICE!! She looks like a young Patsy Cline and sounds a bit like Karen Carpenter. An absolutely heavenly combination to me.
I've seen her perform 3 times. She knows how to put on a show. This version is different from the album. I can't say which one I like more. Both are great for different tempos/moods.
That's wonderful you have seen her perform multiple times. I should be so lucky. I'll bet she just glows with beautiful glamour as well as her amazing voice and stage presence.
WOW! Someone just emialed this gal's name and she just knocked me out!
I want to hear more! Hope that someone will write some brand new stuff for her great voice. She deserves it! I Love Ella and this song. But I want Jane to have "her Own" she is wonderful!
Jessica Rabbit in the flesh..... If only I had the opportunity to draw Jessica Rabbit... Jane Monheit would have been my model.. Talented, Beautiful, and Hot!! LA face and Oakland Booty...
When they were introducing young talent, I jokingly said "Jonathan Kreisberg?!?!", because he's one of the best and most innovative guitar players around right now, check out his new CD South of Everywhere.
But this girl has a very nice voice, I think I will check some more out.
I don't think there's any comparing Jane with Ella, but what good does it do to compare artists? Jane is at a level where she stands on her own. She sounds like Jane Monheit, which is saying a lot! There will never be another Ella Fitzgerald as far as I'm concerned, but Jane Monheit is so amazing. Rather than compare, let's just enjoy, shall we?
Jane is a fantastic singer! There isn't a song that she couldn't sing! I especially enjoy her vocal improvisations and the way she expresses the melody of the lyric! Beautiful music!
I don't think she sounds anything like Ella. Ella was an inspiration, but there is no copycat here. She has her own sound. When I hear Jane, I know it's her. She's fantastic!
OMG! THIS is the Jane Monheit i LOVE! Back in the day, she could outsing ANYONE! PERIOD! All those american idol girls could learn a thing or two from her. I LOVE THE ACAPELLA introductory verse.
I love her, love her voice and this song. I have this c.d. Funny, people I know, tell me I look a lot like her and sound like her too. Thanks for posting this.
