TRACK LISTING If You Went Away Surrender Rio De Maio - with Ivan Lins Like A Lover Só Tinha De Ser Com Voc? So Many Stars - with Sergio Mendes Moon River Overjoyed Caminhos Cruzados - with Toots Thielemans A Time For Love
Renowned as one of the world's most beloved and accomplished song stylists and one of the highest touted female talents in jazz, Jane Monheit presents her debut release on Concord Records, Surrender ; a showcase of more contemporary material than her previous outings and with a decidedly strong Brazilian undercurrent. For Monheit, Surrender also marks an artistic 'coming home' of sorts, since the evocatively intimate title track was penned by masterful composer, arranger and vocalist Peter Eldridge (of New York Voices and Four Brothers fame), Jane's first and only vocal coach, with whom she studied at the Manhattan School of Music while still in her teens. "Peter didn't write "Surrender" for this album, but he did write it recently," Jane explains. "He recorded it once himself, but other than him I'm the first person to record it. I've wanted to record one of Peter's tunes forever, but my previous albums were really standards-based. With the sort of time period I'm working on with this album, which is largely music of the 1960s and onward, it finally seemed the right project to include one of his songs, and "Surrender" is my current favourite." Surrender finds Jane in the welcome and familiar company of regular bandmates Michael Kanan (piano and Fender Rhodes), Miles Okazaki (acoustic and electric guitars), bassist Orlando Le Fleming, saxophonist Ari Ambrose and drummer Rick Montalbano (whose connection to Monheit runs deeper than any of her other accompanists -- last Spring, they celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary), and the move toward more contemporary material was, she says, "very intentional. It is where I had naturally been leaning in my own life, and when it's time to make a record you've got to go in and do what's really feeling right." |
