Untitled

Taking a Chance on Love is a jazz album of standards and musicals by American jazz singer Jane Monheit. It was released in the United States on September 7, 2004.

This was Monheit's fifth album and fourth studio album, her debut studio album with major music label Sony, and also was her third Sony-labeled release after serving as guest singer on the 2001 & 2003 Sony-labeled albums Let's Get Lost: The Songs of Jimmy McHugh by Terence Blanchard and In Full Swing by Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio, respectively.

Taking a Chance on Love was also Monheit's first collaboration with multi-Grammy Awards winning producers Peter Asher and Al Schmitt. Monheit was previously featured on Al Schmitt's co-produced 2001 album entitled Session 55 by the late Les Brown.

During its first week of release, the album reached number one on Billboard's Traditional Jazz chart and the top 100 on Billboard's pop chart.

The song "Dancing in the Dark" received a 47th Grammy Award nomination for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals.

Monheit had previously recorded "Honeysuckle Rose" as a guest singer with Wynton Marsalis on Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio album In Full Swing. The bonus track "Over The Rainbow" is a newly recorded version from Monheit's 2001 album Come Dream with Me and was featured on the soundtrack for the blockbuster film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Monheit also performed "Over the Rainbow" on her 2003 concert DVD/CD Live at the Rainbow Room. The bonus track "I Should Care" was performed on the 2006 DVD/CD set Legends Of Jazz With Ramsey Lewis: Season One, Vol.2.

Monheit later followed this album by releasing a 2005 concert DVD of the same name.
