Liane Carroll & Friends
The Garibaldi Live welcomes the return of the multi-award winning Liane Carroll for a full weekend of outstanding entertainment.
Winner of the BBC Jazz Awards 2005/6 & Parliamentary Jazz Awards Musician of the Year 2008. The first artist ever to win two BBC Jazz Awards in the same year, for Best Vocalist and Best of Jazz, Liane Carroll is a dynamic vocalist and pianist whose amazing talent has been captivating audiences around the world.
She is recognised as one of the finest singer/pianists on the scene, working with the likes of Gerry Rafferty, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Claire Martin & Ian Shaw. Her shows have been received with universal acclaim, leading to an hour-long special on BBC TV featuring her performance at the Brecon Jazz Festival.
Her albums “Up and Down” and “Ballads” on Quiet Money Records, produced by Grammy-nominated trumpeter/producer James McMillan, garnered impressive reviews while “Seaside”, on Linn Records received a Parliamentary Jazz Award nomination for “Jazz Album of the Year”. Similarly her most recent release “The Right To Love”, also produced by James on Quiet Money, has been equally rapturously received.
A world-class performer, her powerful blues-tinged voice combined with strong piano playing and exciting infectious material, topped with a wicked sense of humour, make this a truly remarkable gig.
" .... one of the most stylistically flexible pianists around, with a marvellous, slightly husky singing voice" Dave Gelly (The Observer)
"... a powerful, soul-inflected performer with an Ella Fitzgerald-like improv athleticism and an emotional frankness on ballads" John Fordham (The Guardian)
"Liane Carroll has that rare ability to meld effortless, often transcendent vocal and piano technique, with heart stopping emotion and soul bearing power." Peter Quinn (Jazzwise)
"one of Britain's most emotionally visceral and accomplished singers" Nick Hasted (The Independent)
