“With his romantic and warm voice, Karrant carries songs with an emotional weight that make it seem at times as if he had written them himself.”
–Jazz Corner
“Jonathan Karrant works straight out of the American songbook with a level of manly confidence, jazz suave and bonhomie that was patented by Mel Torme himself.”
–The Reader Magazine

Jonathan Karrant performs songs from his current album “On and On”, which recently hit #4 in the All About Jazz charts, as well as a collection of some of his favorite jazz standards from the American songbook. His show is seasoned with the music and anecdotes of Cole Porter in anticipation of his soon to be released Cole Porter CD. Jonathan is known for digging deep and singing songs that, while well known, are not the typical standards. He will be accompanied by The John di Martino Trio.
