Jane Monheit - The Heart Of The Matter (2013) FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/88,2 kHz | Time - 57:42 minutes | 1,09 GB Official Digital Download - Source: HDTracks.com | Front cover The Heart Of The Matter is the eleventh studio album from critically-acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated Jazz-vocalist Jane Monheit. This stunning recording pays homage to great songwriters and voices from a variety of musical genres. Monheit has crafted a carefully chosen and eclectic selection of twelve tunes ranging from ôGolden Slumbers/Long And Winding Roadö by The Beatles to Buffy St. MarieÆs ôUntil ItÆs Time For You To Go.ö In addition, the album contains thefirst song recorded by Jane, ôNight Night Starsö on which she wrote both the words and the music. Produced and arranged by Gil Goldstein, this must-have outing features Michael Kanan on piano, Gil Goldstein on electric piano and accordion, Romero Lubambo on acoustic guitar, Neal Miner on bass, Rick Montalbano on drums, Rogerio Boccato on percussion, David Eggar and Richard Locker on cello, Barry Crawford and Kathleen Nester on alto flute and Sheryl Henze on bass flute and C flute. ô A technically proficient singer with a distinctive style that straddles the line between Ella Fitzgerald's extroverted, loosely swinging approach and Linda Eder's more restrained Broadway and cabaret style, Jane Monheit is a virtuoso. One minute she's dazzling you with her resonant bebop-ready chops and the next she's making you cry with a single verse of a ballad. On her ninthstudio album, 2013's Heart of the Matter, Monheit brings all of her gifts to bear on a set of mature, heartfelt songs that rank among her best. The album also works as a companion piece to 2009's The Lovers, the Dreamers and Me. With that album, Monheit celebrated such milestones as the birth of her son Jack and turning 30. She then followed up with 2010's equally as compelling if more swinging and straight-ahead jazz-sounding Home. Heart of the Matter, with its ruminations on motherhood and fidelity, returns Monheit to the more intimate, contemporary pop sound of The Lovers, the Dreamers and Me. Working with producer/arranger Gil Goldstein (who also adds his lyrical accordion sound to several tracks) and her usual rhythm section of drummer Rick Montalbano (her husband), pianist Michael Kanan, and bassist Neal Miner, Monheit has crafted a sumptuous, immaculately arranged album that once again shines a light on her immense vocal talent. Whether she's framed by a lush orchestral backing on the bossa nova "Depende de N≤s" or a spare electric piano and flute arrangement on "Two Lonely People," Heart of the Matter finds Monheit nestled deep into the pocket of her own cross-genre sound, and it's a warm place to be. ö Tracklist: 01 - Until It's Time For You To Go 02 - Depende De Nos 03 - Little Man You've Had A Busy Day 04 - Two Lonely People 05 - A Gente Merece Ser Feliz 06 - Golden Slumbers / Long And Winding Road 07 - When She Loved Me 08 - Born To Be Blue 09 - Close 10 - Night Night Stars 11 - I Get Along Without You Very Well 12 - Sing
