Jane Monheit Brings ANYTHING GOES to Birdland, 9/19

The Broadway at Birdland concert series is proud to announce that jazz vocalist Jane Monheit will be performing swinging new Mary Ann McSweeney arrangements of the beloved Cole Porter classic, Anything Goes on Monday, September 19 at 7pm. Broadway leading man Marc Kudisch will be Jane's special guest.

Teaming up with a dynamic band, gifted jazz vocalist Jane Monheit will sing the score of Cole Porter's Anything Goes to swinging new arrangements by bassist Mary Ann McSweeney. This event is a fundraiser for The Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative (PNWHI), created to address the myriad of concerns women face when challenging a serious medical condition: intensive case management, individual counseling, support groups, and links to short-term financial assistance.

Monheit's stellar backup band for the evening includes Mary Ann McSweeney (bassist/arranger), Jim Ridl (pianist), Freddie Hendrix (trumpet), Alvester Garnett (drums), and Special Guest Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar).

Jane Monheit is 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. Monheit has garnered numerous accolades in the past decade. Her first album, "Never Never Land," was voted top debut recording for over a year. Subsequent albums either charted high, or in several cases, debuted at number one, and yielded two Grammy nominations in the Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals category. Monheit has been celebrating the tenth anniversary of her remarkable recording career with her most mature, heartfelt album yet, "Home," a collection of standards that represents a passionate return to her roots as a jazz musician.
