The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me, Jane Monheit's eagerly
anticipated new CD, is set for release on Concord Records January
20th, 2009. An ode to songwriters past and present whom Monheit
greatly admires, The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me is a
sumptuously sung passionate song cycle of 13 tracks produced by
jazz veteran Matt Pierson. The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me is
Monheit's ninth CD and will be accompanied by a world tour
starting in New York City on release date.
The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me features the songs of contemporary
songwriters such as Fiona Apple ("Slow Like Honey"), Corrine
Bailey Rae ("Like A Star") and Paul Simon ("I Do It For Your
Love"), alongside such jazz and pop classics as Cole Porter's "Get
Out Of Town," Jimmy Dorsey's "I'm Glad There Is You," Leonard
Bernstein's "Lucky To Be Me," William C. Barnes' "Something Cool"
(the June Christy classic) and the Brazilian gem, "No Tomorrow,"
by Ivan Lins.
"I wanted to do something different with this record," says
Monheit, "and so I chose songs that meant a lot to me in many
different ways and from a wide range of songwriters and genres -
from female artists my age to celebrated legends."
Accompanying Monheit on The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me are
long-time Monheit band-members Michael Kanan (piano and Fender
Rhodes), Rick Montalbano on drums, and Neal Miner on bass, who
were joined on the CD by musicians Peter Bernstein (guitar),
Stefon Harris (vibes), Seamus Blake (saxophone), Frank Vignola
(guitar), Gil Goldstein (piano, accordion), Romero Lubambo
(guitar), Antonio Sanchez (drums), Scott Colley (bass) and Bashiri
Johnson on percussion.
Jane Monheit released her debut album, Never Never Land, in 2000
which remained on the Billboard Jazz chart for over a year and was
voted Best Debut Recording by the members of the Jazz Journalists
Association. Her second release, Come Dream With Me, came just a
year later and landed atop the Billboard Jazz charts and also
earned a Grammy nomination for Vince Mendoza for "Best
Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals" (as did 2003's In
The Sun for Mendoza's Arrangement of "Since You've Asked").
Monheit's 2007 critically-lauded CD, Surrender, debuted at number
one on the Bilboard Jazz chart as well, and she continues to tour
and perform in front of sold-out audiences worldwide. Said Time
Magazine of Monheit, "Jane Monheit can't miss. She has, in a word,
everything."
