Two-time Grammy nominee Monica Mancini, will perform at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, Aug. 25th at 8 p.m. for Gershwin Across America. The evening will feature a new twist with pop and jazz interpretations of Gershwin’s beloved melodies, influenced by the upcoming CD “Gershwin Across America,” produced by Phil Ramone. Jason Mraz, Nancy Wilson, BeBe Winans and others will also be performing.
Mancini is also celebrating the release of her new album “I’ve Loved These Days.” The release is an 11-track collection of classic 60s songs and features collaborations with some of her musical heroes. Joining Monica on ‘I’ve Loved These Days,” are original composers Jackson Browne, offering guitar and vocal accompaniment on “These Days”; Brian Wilson and the multi-Grammy winning vocal group Take 6 contributing vocals and arranging on “God Only Knows”; Stevie Wonder harmonically duets on “Blame It On the Sun”; and the Young Rascals’ Felix Cavaliere provides B-3 organ accompaniment on his classic “How Can I Be Sure.” The album was produced by Phil Ramone and Gregg Field.
“I’m beyond thrilled to have made this album and work with these artist and producers. For me, it’s always about the songwriters and their songs,” said Mancini. “As an artist, it has been an important project for very personal reasons and what I needed to do. I hope people will discover new meaning in the music I have. This is my way of exploring my musical heroes and discovering what their songs continue to reveal.”
