Jane Monheit

"I tell you, when we travel with our own band and we're on the road . . . Well, I can't even believe this is work."

"It's [Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You"] been one of my favorite songs for my entire life."

"I've listened to Jazz since I was born and always knew I'd be a Jazz singer!"

"It's not so bad to live out of a suitcase. It's a really beautiful life ."

"I’ve always chosen all my own material; no one ever told me what to sing or how to sing it, but I’ve always been pressured intensely to use musicians outside of my band."

"Jane Monheit is skyrocketing up the jazz charts. By next year, we won't be able to get her."

"It [Ella Fitzgerald's "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas"] is the happiest Christmas album I've ever heard. That album totally changed the way I look at Christmas albums. I loved what a happy, festive album it truly was . . . it's the best [[music] to have playing when you have a Christmas celebration. I wanted my album to feel just like that."
