Liane Carroll

Liane Carroll

Liane Carroll needs no introduction to Isle of Wight Jazz Weekend fans, as she is one of the most popular acts to visit our shores. 

“One of the most stylistically flexible pianists around, with a marvellous, slightly husky singing voice" — (The Observer).

"A powerful, soul-inflected performer with an Ella Fitzgerald-like improv athleticism and an emotional frankness on ballads" — (The Guardian)

Liane’s first four albums all enjoyed four-starred reviews, and, “Ballads” received ***** from Jazz Journal. "Seaside", won CD of the year at the 2015 British Jazz Awards.

A multiple winner of the British Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards she received the 2016 Gold award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

Liane's previous appearances at our festival have been with her trio, but on this occasion we welcome her as a solo pianist/vocalist. We anticipate it will be as entertaining and musically breathtaking as always.
