Rating: - I'll Dance in the Dark with her........
....anytime. We are very fortunate to have several beautiful jazz singers right now... Diana Krall, Christy Baron [who records for a boutique label], Jane Monheit. And if you don't need English...Bebel Gilberto, CeU, Ana Caram.

Jane is an absolute treasure. Her voice is so wonderfully seductive as to make her beauty [almost] unimportant. She takes standard, well known, songs and puts her own unique stamp on them. Some fans don't like "covers", but that's a shortsighted view...the Great American Songbook is considered Great for a reason. Or, to push to a ridiculous extreme, what is an Opera singer doing but covering Mozart, Verdi, etc?

I love Jane, and I love this album. ... Read More

If I would hear an angel, I think will sound like the voice of Jane Monheit. I really enjoyed the CD, best the romantic songs: In the still of the night my favorite.

Rating: - if you were ever going to buy a CD for just one song...
This one is well worth it just for the cover of "Honeysuckle Rose". I can't give it a just description, but her phrasing is joyously playful, her range and pitch are both so impressive, and the overall effect, with a very tight band, brings a smile of pure delight to my face every time I listen to it. While the rest of the CD is not quite as much fun, nearly every cut is pleasure to listen to. The only cuts I tend to skip over are "Bill" (kinda boring) and "Dancing in the Dark" (too operatic to fit with the rest of the CD).

Apparently, being an incredibly talented singer is too boring for those reared on novelty acts and bizarre, marginal voices. Perhaps if she had the voice of a drunken demon like Macy Gray or the Drano throat of Rod Stewart or the often (and strangely) barely audible whispers of the ever-present Diana Krall, then such mediocrity would satisfy some of the other reviewers here who seem to thrive on that. Does matchless beauty so threaten mere mortals that they lose the ability to even recognize the greatness before them? Judging from her work so far, Ms. Monheit is destined for legendary status. Avedon would take her picture. Warhol would paint her. The unequalled gift of this angel will ... Read More

Rating: - 3 STARS ONLY BECAUSE I ONLY LIKED ONE SONG.
The only song that I really liked on this cd was "I won't dance". She sang this song with the fantastic Michael Buble. If they had the video of Jane Monheit and Michael Buble singing, "I won't dance", I would definitely buy it. If you have seen the video, it is really cute and they are really flirty together. If you haven't seen it, you could find it at www.janemonheit.com. The other songs are boring.
