The Cole Porter Songbook
Friday, March 2, 2025
Many of Porter's songs became standards noted for their witty, urbane lyrics and many of his scores found top success on Broadway and in film. His music was so ahead of its time that it continues to be celebrated by major artists of all genres.
Jonathan Karrant's album, On and On hit #4 on the Billboard Jazz charts and his album Live hit #2 on the iTunes Jazz Charts. He has recorded with such artists as Diane Schuur, Jane Monhiet and Houston Person. Karrant has received honors throughout the states including; the New York City Cabaret Jazz Honors, Best Singer for the Bravo California Awards and he was named one of the top 10 rising jazz vocalists by Downbeat.
“A voice, romantic without being cloying, warm but not forced, Jonathan carries songs with an emotional weight that reaches your soul. At the same time he can swing with the kind of jazz suave that was patented by Mel Torme.” - Jazz Corner
