A sophisticated performer, Jane Monheit has a style that balances flawless technique with romantic warmth. It's a sound that has garnered her well-earned comparisons to such icons as Ella Fitzgerald and the goddess of vocal pop, Barbra Streisand. Her sixth studio album, 2007's Surrender, is, at first glance, not dissimilar from her past work. Recorded with her working combo including husband and drummer Rick Montalbano, Surrender is a ballads-heavy production that features a mix of jazz standards, reworked pop tunes, and several bossa nova numbers. What is different is the focus and presentation of Monheit. Rather than featuring her here simply as a singer fronting a jazz band, Surrender is a cinematic, Broadway-sized showcase that finds Monheit's voice framed against sweeping orchestration and glossy, Technicolor arrangements. This is Monheit the vocal diva, the superstar. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
