Shawnn Monteiro has delighted audiences from the USA to Europe with her highly popular jazz repertoire laced with blues-oriented improvisations and the American Songbook.  Percussion and Latin/jazz great impresario Mongo Santamaria discovered Shawnn working in a club in San Jose, California and signed her on the spot to tour with his band. Since then, Shawnn has shared the stage with Clark Terry, Ray Brown, Lionel Hampton, the Basie Band, the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Jimmy Cobb, Kenny Barron, Bobby Durham, Hank Jones, and Benny Golson, to name a few.  As well as appearing in clubs and festivals around the world, Shawnn has been teaching a Vocal Master Class in USA, Europe, Moscow, Dubai and she is an adjunct Professor at Hartt School of Music/Jackie McLean Institute, University of Hartford, CT.  Shawnn’s father was the late renowned bassist Jimmy Woode, veteran of the Duke Ellington band.
