Benoit to headline at Fallbrook jazz event Debbie Ramsey Managing Editor Three-time Grammy-nominated jazz artist, David Benoit will headline the second annual Jazz & Wine Festival being held Saturday, August 22, in Fallbrook at the picturesque Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens. Dubbed “one of the founding fathers of contemporary jazz,” Benoit will meld his talent at the event with that of special guest vocalist, Jane Monheit. With a background in Broadway, Monheit is also distinguished with Grammy nominations. “I really look forward to seeing Fallbrook and everyone there,” said Benoit, in an interview with the Village News. “I have just returned from England and Hawaii, and after the Fallbrook performance will be traveling to the South of France.” With 35 albums to his credit, Benoit has performed at the White House for three U.S. Presidents: Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George Bush, Sr. At his much-anticipated performance in Fallbrook, Benoit said he plans to do at least four songs from his newest album, “2 In Love,” which features Monheit “I will also do a selection of my most popular pieces and we will do a couple of Jane’s songs,” said Benoit. At this point in his career, Benoit said it is the diversity of his work that he finds gratifying. “I really love the diversity of things I am doing right now,” said Benoit. “There are very few dull moments. I am working on new albums, a new “Peanuts” movie, a Beethoven radio show, and more.” He also mentioned he has a Christmas album in the works entitled “Believe,” which will be released by Concord Records. “I have a special guest, actually guests, performing in that album as well - the All American Boys Chorus,” said Benoit. Benoit said he is “thrilled” that Monheit will be joining him for the Jazz & Wine Festival in Fallbrook. “Jane is a really nice

person; she is not a diva; she always has a smile on her face.” He also said Monheit’s vocal range is nothing short of amazing. “She sings jazz, Broadway, opera, pop, fusion, and much more,” said Benoit. “She is very talented.” Benoit’s usual trio will be supporting the performance as well. The design of the Jazz & Wine Festival at the Grand Tradition
Estate & Gardens varies innovatively from others, offering a highly desirable setting. For the first two hours of the event (4 to 6 p.m.), guests will be able meander through the property’s manicured, beautiful garden pathways to discover four different locations at which different talented musicians will be featured. Performers at these garden
locations will include: Patrick Yandall, a contemporary jazz, rock and blues guitarist who has released 13 albums; Ruby and the Red Hots, who perform Blues, R& B, and jazz; Jose Serrano, jazz musician; and Jerome Dawson, a talented saxophonist and his four-piece band known as Wazabe Blue.
