"Just do your life -- because you're dead a long time. Live your life. Enjoy your life. Do the best that you can." - Antoinette Montague

The recent release of Antoinette Montague's debut CD "Pretty Blues" has helped introduce the wonderful bluesy jazz singing of Antoinette Montague to the music world.

Born and raised in Newark, Antoinette Montague may have just released her first CD but she has had many invaluable musical experiences. She worked in gospel and R&B ensembles after college, serves as the vice president of the International Women in Jazz, and considers Carrie Smith, Etta Jones, Della Griffin and Myrna Lake to be her mentors. Antoinette has worked extensively in the New York area during the past decade with such musicians as Red Holloway, Benny Powell, Bill Easley, Winard Harper, Wycliffe Gordon, Frank Wess, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Mike Longo's New York State of the Arts Orchestra, New Jersey Performing Arts Center's Sounds of the City recorded live by WBGO, Yonkers Riverfest, and Jazz on the Library Greene in New Rochelle.

"She has a powerful voice, the ability to hold long notes without wavering, and a knack for making every song sound bluesy. Antoinette Montague's delivery is heartfelt, infectious and memorable." - Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene

Recording and releasing "Pretty Blues" on the Consolidated Artists label raised her profile and has given her fame beyond the East Coast. On this highly enjoyable CD, Antoinette Montague is featured belting out blues, interpreting sensitive ballads, combining together passion and sophistication, and making every song sound fresh, infectious and topical.

Antoinette made the cover of Jazz Improv's New York Jazz Guide! An in-depth interview follows inside. Go here to read the entire interview [url] http://www.antoinettemontague.com/pages/reviews.html [/url]

Antoinette was featured in the Fairfield County Business Journal, "Profits & Passions: Antoinette Montague-Baugh, The long and winding road to Carnegie Hall." Go here to read the entire piece: [url] http://www.fairfieldcountybusiness.com/archive/profitspassions/pp091007.php4 [/url]
