It's time for our annual fix of the world-class
Liane Carroll. Born in London and raised in Hastings, where she
currently lives with her husband, bassist Roger Carey, East Side
favourite Liane has been playing the piano since she was three and
performing professionally since the age of fifteen. She has toured and
recorded with artists such as Gerry Rafferty, Long John Baldry and Paul
McCartney. Liane enjoyed success as double winner in the 2005 BBC Jazz
Awards and 'Best female jazz vocalist' at the first Ronnie Scott’s Jazz
Awards. Liane went on to pick up the 2008 Parliamentary Jazz Award for
'Musician Of The Year.' Later that year Liane formed an exciting new
collaboration with the acclaimed Scottish jazz pianist Brian Kellock,
and in November the pair toured throughout Scotland, at which The Herald
declared, "This may well be British jazz's greatest double act." In
2009 Liane and her trio went stateside for the first time and performed
to rapturous audiences at Dizzy's Jazz Club at the Lincoln Centre and
the Rochester Jazz Festival. "No one who hears Liane Carroll in person
is likely to forget the experience. It's not just that she's a brilliant
pianist and a mesmerising singer, but that, like Stevie Wonder, she
seems in some magical way to be made out of music. No recording has
managed to capture this quality until now, but this one comes close" -
Dave Gelly, The Observer (reviewing Liane's CD 'Up and Down'). Liane's
last CD 'Ballads' was released to huge critical acclaim.
