Antoinette Montague has appeared on the cover of Jazz Improv’s Jazz Guide and on two book covers of Who’s Who in Jazz, Cabaret and Music (from 1600’s to Now). She has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, the Zebra Room in Harlem’s famous Lenox Lounge, the legendary Blue Note, the Blue Smoke :: Jazz Standard with the Winard Harper Sextet and Dr. Billy Taylor.

Antoinette was hired as a leader opposite Jr. Mance for Jazzmobile’s Summer Breeze Concert Series with Huston Person for a tribute to Junior Mance with Winard Harper, Tommy James and Bill Moring. Antoinette works most regularly with Bill Easely, a brilliant and versatile reed player, who performs equally forcefully on alto, tenor, and baritone saxes as well as flute, piccolo, and clarinet.

Born and raised in Newark, Antoinette Montague released her first CD “Pretty Blues” in 2006, but she has had many invaluable musical experiences. 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.
