Performer: Jane Monheit
Producer: Al Schmitt; Jane Monheit Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: On this 2005 outing, jazz singer Jane Monheit applies her smoky voice to an excellent set of holiday classics. While some tunes are upbeat (the celebratory, horn-driven "This Christmas"), the quieter ballads (the spare, string-tinged "Moonlight in Vermont") most effectively showcase Monheit's singing, which often evokes a serene, snow-covered landscape.
With movie-star looks, a sensual, pitch-perfect voice, and a strong sense of jazz history, vocalist Jane Monheit made a big splash on the jazz scene around the turn of the century. She was still in her early twenties when she began turning heads with her recordings, garnering comparisons to the likes of Diana Krall and Cassandra Wilson. The latter comparison was further borne out when 2002's IN THE SUN found Monheit dropping in Bonnie Raitt and Judy Collins tunes amid the jazz standards.
