Liane Carroll Trio

Liane Carroll - piano, vocals
Roger Carey - bass guitar
Russell Field - drums

We are delighted to welcome back a perennial favourite of the Isle of Wight Jazz Weekend, the wonderfully talented and entertaining Liane Carroll. After a stunning solo performance in 2025 - which many festival attendees rated as the best they had ever seen from her - Liane returns with her trio who first appeared here in 2016. For the first time, the trio will appear in Newport Minster as part of a fabulous final-day lineup.

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