Surrender is the title of Jane Monheit's new album. If you haven't heard of Jane Monheit, you may have heard of Diana Krall and if you like Diana Krall, you'll really like Jane as well. Jane Monheit has an amazing voice. AMAZING! The liner notes of her Come Dream With Me album tell the story of her recording Over the Rainbow in one take, seriously the most beautiful version of that beautiful song that I've ever heard. The Surrender album is beautiful as well. I am partial to old standards however, and there are just a very few of those. Moon River is my favorite track. I am really interested in this "best of" album however because it has more song titles that I recognize. Yes, OCD people just love the familiar. Pathetic, I know. Anyway, I recommend Jane's music for dancing in the kitchen with your sweetie.

Okay, Tif. You might be the only other person who seems to know who Diana Krall is--except for all my high school friends who were in jazz band. (I wasn't, but they still liked me.) Anyway, LOVE her. I have seen her twice in concert, but have been a little disappointed lately...another story for another day.
I'm totally going to be checkin' out Jane. Thanks for the awesome review. Wahoo! I need something new to listen to.
