Monday Off is an exciting addition to the world of vocal jazz. The quartet’s members – Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner, Richard Roland and Raymond Sage – take their combined years of singing experience and apply them to exploring the vast and unlimited possibilities of vocal harmony. While inspired by vocal groups of the big-band era and of more recent years, Monday Off adds their own creative touch with rich and inventive vocal arrangements, applying them to a repertoire of standards, pop, jazz, Latin and vocalese tunes.

The group was conceived while the four original members were appearing in the Broadway musical Titanic.  They chose the name Monday Off as a nod to the “dark” night of the theatre world, Monday night. Since then, more recent members with strong jazz backgrounds have infused their sound and feel into the quartet.

Monday Off has become a regular fixture in the New York City club scene in addition to their performances in larger concert halls across the country including Carnegie Hall with Skitch Henderson and the New York Pops. The group has also sung on national television, most recently on ABC World News Now, performing songs from their debut CD Christmas Time Is Here which they recorded with Bucky Pizzarelli and released in 2001. Monday Off’s long-awaited second CD is due for release in the fall of 2005.
