She worked in gospel and r&b ensembles after college, serves as the vice president of the International Women in Jazz, and considers Carrie Smith, Etta Jones, Della Griffin and Myrna Lake to be her mentors. Antoinette has worked extensively in the New York area during the past decade with such musicians as Bill Easley, Norman Simmons, Winard Harper, Wycliffe Gordon, Frank Wess, the Duke Ellington Orchestra and Mike Longo’s New York State of the Arts Orchestra and Lou Donaldson has introduced her to many of his audiences.
She has appeared on the cover of Jazz Improv’s Jazz Guide, and has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, and many Jazz Societies.
Antoinette is on the Board of the Boys and Girls Club of America, Better Business Bureau, The Jazz Committee of St Peters Church, International Women in Jazz, and the Women In Jazz Festival.
She gives a great, fun filled performance of great Blues, Ballads and surprise tunes you will love to hear.
“She has a powerful voice, the ability to hold long notes without wavering, and a knack for making every song sound bluesy. Antoinette Montague’s delivery is heartfelt, infectious and memorable.” — Scott Yanow, “Los Angeles Jazz Scene”
Recording and releasing “Pretty Blues” on the Consolidated Artists label raised her profile and has given her fame beyond the East Coast. On this highly enjoyable CD, Antoinette Montague is featured belting out blues, interpreting sensitive ballads, combining passion and sophistication, and making every song sound fresh, infectious and topical.
