Jonathan Karrant - Album Release: "Swingin' & Soulful Standards"

Song stylist Jonathan Karrant returns to Myron’s to celebrate the release of his new album, which is a collection of songs written from the 1940s through the 1970s. It includes favorites from the Great American Songbook, as well as songs not usually found in the jazz genre by artists like Elton John and James Taylor. Some of the more classic sections on the album are “Who Can I Turn To” and “Day In, Day Out.” The album is a collaboration with renowned pianist Joe Alterman and reflects Jonathan and Joe’s shared musical taste.
Jonathan Karrant's album, "On and On," hit No. 4 on the Billboard Jazz charts and his album "Live" hit No. 2 on the iTunes Jazz Charts. He has recorded with such notable artists as Diane Schuur and Jane Monheit. Karrant has received honors throughout the United States including: the New York City Cabaret Jazz Honors, “Best Singer” by the Bravo California Awards and was named one of the Top 10 Rising Jazz Vocalists by "Downbeat."
Karrant will be joined by Joe Alterman, who began at NYU with a BA and Master’s in jazz piano, followed by performances with Houston Person, Les McCann and Ramsey Lewis. "Although much younger than I, Joe Alterman is an inspiration to me! His piano playing, his will to explore and his ability to swing is a joy to behold,” said Ramsey Lewis. “Pianist Joe Alterman pulls off one of the rarer feats in modern jazz: he swings — hard,” says "Downbeat."
