Listener Reviews & Comments
I have followed Monheit's singing over her first few albums. I enjoyed listening to them but I generally thought her voice was a bit too "white bread." Yawn. But this album really has me impressed. I must confess a recent embracement of latin bossa nova stuff, and her work here in Portugese really got me excited. I think it shows a level of character. Her voice seems to have matured into one heck of an instrument, too. I think Jane could be the next Ella or Billie. On this CD, I'm particlarly impressed by three Portugese numbers -- Rio De Maio, Só Tinha De Ser Com Você, and Caminhos Cruzados. And, oh boy, that rendition of Overjoyed blows me away. What I think is a really gutsy move is her re-recording of tunes she had recorded earlier (on this album, So Many Stars; a couple others on Live At The Rainbow Room). If you compare the later versions you might be impressed, like me, on how much she has improved as an artist. So Many Start has a much more intricate beat, but even more significant is the added richness and depth of Monheit's voice. Wow. I love the real balance that the producers have given her -- she's not just a singer with stringer behind her, but more of a jazz vocalist taking turns with her musicians. Now I'd like to see her steer herself in her own direction and establish her own voice through the perfect selection of songs to cover. I look forward to more recordings. If her voice is this amazing after just a couple of years, imagine what she'll be doing in a couple more!
