Jazz

Away from the limelight, Liane Carroll keeps on perfecting her art, to the point of being considered as one of the best British jazz singers of the last twenty years. In The Right To Love, the Londoner lets her warm voice wander on highly eclectic songs, from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Hoagy Carmichael, Jacques Brel, Lalo Schifrin, Tom Waits and Carole King. A broad repertoire that she assimilates to shape an incredibly classy moment. Most importantly Carroll avoids all the genre’s clichés and deeply magnifies these themes with a staggering breath of soul and an internal storm that aptly stays away from technical grandstanding. She recorded this album with pianists Mark Edwards and Malcolm Edmonstone, guitarist Mark Jaimes, saxophonist Kirk Whalum, bassists Loz Garratt and Roger Carey and drummers Ralph Salmins and Russell Field.
