An extraordinarily gifted jazz vocalist whose sincere and romantic interpretations of exceptional songs has made her a favorite in both the jazz and cabaret worlds, Jane Monheit has garnered numerous accolades in the past decade. Revered for “the sheer beauty of her sound and her polished technique” (The New York Times), the GRAMMY-nominated artist celebrates the tenth anniversary of her remarkable recording career with Home, a collection of standards that represents a passionate return to her roots as a jazz musician. GRAMMY-award winning violinist and composer Mark O’Connor, also featured as a special guest artist on Home, joins Monheit for this not to be missed performance!

"...THIS IS CLEARLY ME, from the heart. My relationships to these songs and MY LOVE for the people playing them make this album what it is."
--Jane Monheit, about Home

"One of the most important pieces of American music in many, many years, UNITING THE STRAINS of CLASSICAL music with AMERICAN HILL COUNTRY music..."

--President William Jefferson Clinton about
