Negative Positive
Title: Shows real promise.
Review: As a longtime jazz fan, I'm pleased to see more and more jazz artists receive recording contracts. I'd never heard Jane Monheit sing when I picked up this CD, but was pleased to find that she definitely has talent.Her style is satisfying and her song choices leave little to be desired. Her voice is reminiscent of Maureen McGovern's, but of better quality. Unfortunately, she sometimes has a tendency to be nasally; this is annoying, but doesn't happen so frequently that I abandoned the CD. Monheit also sometimes sounds like a country singer, riding hard on her Rs. Nonetheless, she is mostly pleasant to listen to, and I will consider buying other Monheit CDs.
