FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents ‘Amanda Carr with Les Femmes de Chanson’. From A Night in Tunisia to A Night to Remember, this all female, all-star trio delivers an inspired take on the American Songbook. International jazz recording artist Amanda Carr, along with pianist/vocalist Yvonne Monnett and bassist Genevieve Rose have departed from the traditional jazz trio to produce a labor of love that underscores an intimate musical connection, both with each other and the familiar melodies.
2016 Boston Music Award’s Jazz Artist of the Year nominee Amanda Carr has coalesced a powerful trio of women with exceptional virtuosity on their respective instruments. After sharing the bill with multi-platinum, five-time Grammy-nominated artist Michael Feinstein, Amanda Carr has similarly gravitated to contemporary interpretations of the American Songbook. To help her in this vision is pianist and vocalist Yvonne Monnett, a jazz teacher at Brown University and professional accompanist with wide ranging accolades including Jeffery Osborne and Lena Prima. Joining her is Genevieve Rose on double bass. Rose, the youngest person to ever hold a faculty position in UMass’ Jazz in July Program, was also a twenty-time recipient of most-valuable-player awards at high school music festivals across New England and Canada. She has accompanied pros at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton and at CityStage in Springfield.
