ENTERTAINMENT | Jane Monheit to perform in CCM in January

American jazz and contemporary vocalist Jane Monheit will hit the stage of the Grand Auditorium in Macau Cultural Centre (CCM) on January 31.
A leading light of both the jazz and cabaret worlds for nearly two decades, Jane Monheit takes her audience back to a golden era of musical glamour. Her concerts include eclectic sets that combine familiar standards like “I Won’t Dance”, a track recorded as a duet with Michael Bublé, and her own iconic “Cheek to Cheek”.  Besides classic jazz, the two-time Grammy nominee also interprets pop compositions by songwriters like Lennon/McCartney and Randy Newman, and is a passionate interpreter of Brazilian rhythms, often singing tunes by legendary composer Ivan Lins.
Her debut album, “Never Never Land”, released in 2000, remained on the Billboard Jazz chart for over a year, and was also voted Best Debut Recording by the Jazz Journalists Association. Since then, Monheit’s work has garnered a number of awards.
One hour prior to Monheit’s concert, music critic Mark Lei will deliver a talk, during which he will introduce the audience to different kinds of jazz. Held in CCM’s Conference Room, admission to the talk is free.
