Oakdale, New York (2000 – present)

Jane Monheit (born November 3, 1977) is considered to be one of the most promising American jazz vocalists of her generation.

Born in Oakdale, New York on Long Island, Monheit began singing professionally while attending Connetquot High School. At 17, she began studying at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City under the tutelage of Peter Eldridge. At the age of 20, as a senior, she won the first runner-up prize at the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute Vocal Competition. In 1999, she received her Bachelor’s degree in music.

Monheit’s voice has been compared to that of Ella Fitzgerald, whom she lists as one of her influences. Songs she has recorded range from jazz standards to MGM/RKO musicals of the 1930s-1950s and Brazilian rhythms such as “Começar de novo”.

Monheit released her debut album, Never Never Land in October 2000 and it became an instant success. This was followed shortly by her second album, Come Dream With Me (May 2001) and her third, IN THE SUN (October 2002).

Her fourth album, LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ROOM, was released in December 2003. A similarly-titled DVD was released to complement the CD.

Her fifth album, Taking a Chance on Love, was released in September 2004. It debuted at the #1 spot on Billboard’s traditional jazz chart and entered Billboard’s top 100 pop chart the first week it was released. The album included the song Over the Rainbow, which had been included in her previous release recorded at the Rainbow Room, and also in the soundtrack for the film, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
