Ain't it nice to hear people singing instead of shouting?

[bretodeau]

@craigenputtock I couldn't agree more with you.

I think I have just heard Peggy Lee's successor

[bretodeau]

Jane's simply awesome, isn't she?

[RedFireFox2123]

Jane Monheit's singing style is very similar to Lena Horne and Anita O'Day... elegant, classic and beautiful!!!

[bretodeau]

I love the way she sings. She's very classy. Thanks for commenting on this video.

Been playing the Bass since I was a young man and thought I'd seen it all when Diana Krall came on the scene. This woman can sing her heart out. She is one of the most exciting singers to come along in a long time. She is also very sexy.

obviously she loves what she does..she really feels the music....and the sex in jazz music...swave and moving...wow

@mamachip could it be that you can't blow your nose on vocals? ...so you find it exhiliarating to demean one of the classiest , swinginest chicks in the artform today.....how many gigs do you sell out, pray tell? Do you even earn a living at it like she does? Accept everyone's contribution to the art....everyone has something to contribute in their own special way. It's not all about chops. How many cats cream in their genes looking at you, mama???????????

"Taking a chance on love" is one of my favorite jazz standards..and with the voice of my favorite singer Jane Monheit becomes a masterpiece of rare beauty

[ROBIBLOOM]

thin voice..who encourages these people,,she can sing..shes beautiful..but her voice...not much there,,,kinda pathetic really....the band swings..she..not so much....

I know that I'm gonna get a lot of flak for saying this but while I think she's beautiful and sexy and has a nice singing style, her voice is very lean and "yappy" sounding.

[mamachip]

Try the veal, it's delicious!....

She needs to learn to STFU ans sing onstage. I hear a llttle bit of very young Ella in her phrasing. Cool,.... I've heard her really suck ( go to "Cheek to Cheek") she just shouldnt do that tune

[baysideful]

She has an amazing voice! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Best version by far I have heard of this classic.

I can't decide which is the best part - the beginning, the middle, or the ending with the scatting and soaring notes. The band is sensational - every note made sense to me. She is singing this song with the intensity of someone who really had recently fallen in love. The flirt with the drummer (now her husband) during the introduction when she lifted her leg (0:37), and the touching of her heart at 2:57...phew!
