Follow on Google News | 3/8: Cape Verdean Recognition Committee 6th Annual Gala CelebrationLegendary vocalist and Whaling City Sound recording artist headlines 6th annual event A performance by legendary jazz singer Shawnn Monteiro will be the centerpiece of an event sponsored by the Cape Verdean Recognition Committee (http://cvrcinc.org/) “I’m so happy to be part of such a great event,” says Monteiro. Last summer, the singer headlined Your Theatre (http://yourtheatre.org/)’ Monteiro is a musical treasure along the Southcoast. In addition to recording and gigging, Monteiro shares her love for jazz in general as an adjunct professor at Rhode Island College and the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. Not only that, she deepens her commitment to the genre by giving master classes in jazz vocals all over the world —including in Italy, France, Croatia, Spain and more. She takes teaching as seriously as singing. She also performs several times a year in contintental Europe, with fans in Italy, Germany and Switzerland. “Every time I go somewhere—it doesn’t matter where—I teach them about this thing we call jazz. It’s our American art form. I turn my students on to this music, and they say, ‘Oh my God! We’ve never heard this! And I tell them, ‘Unless you pass it on, it’s going to die.’” Opening the afternoon gala will be another local artist, this one a much-loved duo: Barry and Judi DeRossi. Come one, come all to this great and worthwhile event!
