Saturday, June 18, 8 p.m. Shawnn Monteiro Special Tribute Show in honor of Carmen McRae Jazz vocalist Shawnn Monteiro's father, bassist Jimmy Woode, played for the late, great Carmen McRae.  So did her godfather, trumpeter Clark Terry.  As Monteiro listened to their stories and studied McRae's work, she became an admirer.  The influence of McRae's earthy contralto voice and masterful phrasing comes through loud and clear in Monteiro's own jazz stylings.

Steve March Torme

"Steve March Tormé is more than a jazz singer-he's a consummate entertainer. Indeed, with the rising popularity of artists such as Michael Bublé and Josh Groban, Tormé's future is promising. Much like his father, he holds a crowd and excites emotions with jazz scats and profound lyrics. An exceptionally versatile artist, Tormé could become the Sinatra of his generation, and in doing so, could carry jazz into the mainstream commercial market."
