Antoinette Montague, a Jazz singer who electrifies audiences wherever she performs with her crystal-clear tone, her range and her emotional intensity, is a featured artist in a birthday tribute to one of the most beloved figures of American music, Dizzy Gillespie. Dizzie’s former friend, pianist and musical director Mike Longo, takes place in the John Birks Gillespie Auditorium at the New York Bahaí Center.
Antoinette is frequently seen and heard at Manhattan’s premier jazz venues including Birdland, Madame X, Cornelia Street Café, The Cove, Cleopatra’s Needle, Tribeca Bar and Grill, Water Colors, Danny’s Skylight Room, Cajun, and Yvonne’s Southern Cuisine. She and her quartet have performed at the NAACP’s Tribute to Milt Jackson, the famous Jazz Vespers at St. Peter’s Church, the Harlem Theatre Company, the 96th Street Library, and the St. Mark’s Poetry Project. Each month Antoinette is the featured singer on Manhattan Neighborhood Network’s “Living Today Show,” aired on WYNE (91.5 FM). Annie also appeared at the Jazz Showcase at Scotties in Riverdale, NY and performed a memorable set at the 17th Annual Croton on the Hudson Music Festival.
