Monteiro at Long Wharf By OWEN McNALLY, Special To The Courant
Shawnn Monteiro, an expressive, swinging vocalist noted for her deep commitment to her craft, is accustomed to being treated like jazz royalty in Europe.Customarily, she plays with her working trio or with stars like bassist Buster Williams to young, enthusiastic audiences in packed venues ranging from clubs in remote burghs to elite entertainment centers in Rome and Paris.But back home in the United States, the Rhode Island resident, despite having a trunk full of great notices for her five CDs and innumerable stateside concerts, finds herself working at what she calls the less-than-regal "middle sphere" of the jazz-vocal profession. - complete article - longwharf.org
