Shawnn Monteiro Information
Most jazz experts call Shawnn's throbbing lyric style "exciting, fascinating, and entirely distinctive." Shawnn has won over audiences from the United States to Europe with her wildly popular jazz repertoire peppered with improvisations that lean toward the blues, whether in the intimacy of a club engagement or the glitz of a Las Vegas showroom.
Shawnn draws inspiration from Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughan, from whom she derives the underlying core of creative energy, as evidenced by the lively lyrical phrasing and sporadic scat changes in her music. Good genes also help, though. Jimmy Woode, a former member of the Duke Ellington ensemble and well-known bassist, was the late father of Shawnn. A winning mixture is created when you add a ton of musical inspiration and direction from her Godfather, Clark Terry.
Outstanding percussion and Latin/jazz impresario Shawnn was hired to travel with his band by Mongo Santamaria after he spotted her working in a San Jose, California club. During that two-year tour, Shawnn captivated crowds as his sole vocalist and lone female drummer while performing among legends like Stan Kenton, Celia Cruz, the Fania All-Stars, and Weather Report.
Since that time, Shawnn has performed onstage alongside a distinguished group of legendary jazz musicians, including Clark Terry, Red Holloway, Ray Brown, Lionel Hampton, Frank Foster, and the Basie Band, Nat Adderly, Kenny Barron, Hank Jones, Bobby Durham, James Williams, Jimmy Cobb, Keter Betts, Stanley Jordan, Ed Thigpen, Johnny Griffin, and Benny Golson.
