(503)228-6140 B rin g in g Ancient G reece to L ife - State-of- the-art technology transports audiences back to the dawn of democracy and the birthplace of Western Civilization in the new IMAX adven­ ture “Greece: Secrets of the Past". Portland's MMM M N M N N N BM ■MMMM ‘Pretty Blues' Debut CD Antoinette Montague is a Jazz singer who loves people and thrills audiences with her crystal-clear tone, her range and her emotional intensity. Her ability to both belt the blues and swing with a jazz band is in full evidence on her debut album “Pretty Blues." With a style that can be powerful one moment and soft-and-delicate the next, her lusty and soulful voice reaches right into the heart o f the listener. "I enjoy and learn from Bill Easley's no-nonsense approach to music...he makes it look like magic," Montague says. She was also influenced, as you would expect by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Billy Holliday and Bessie Smith. Montague has performed in the Great Women in Music Fes­ tival at Birdland, N.Y. with the Duke Ellington Band (filmed by BET on Jazz); Mike Longo's New York State of the Art Band for the 88th Birthday Celebration of Dizzy Gillespie; and selected by a special panel to perform at the 40th Anniversary of St. Peter's Church and the 10th Anniversary of International Women in Jazz.
