Liane Carroll, Support: The Ronnie Scotts All Stars Thursday 2nd September

Liane Caroll: Vocals/Piano, Steve Pearce: Bass, Mark Fletcher: Drums, James McMillan trumpet

Having been something of a stalwart of the British jazz scene for many years, Liane has in the last few years gone on to enjoy huge critical acclaim and is now considered by many to be one of the top jazz vocalists not just in the UK, but worldwide. 2009 has so far been an even busier year for Liane, and in May she released a new duo album featuring the acclaimed Scottish jazz pianist Brian Kellock.

Her eagerly awaited second solo album, 'Slow Down,' was released last year and has received superb reviews. In December, the album was picked by the Sunday Times as one of their top five jazz albums of the year. Liane appears here with her beloved trio: her husband, virtuoso bassist Roger Carey teams with drummer Mark Fletcher to create a superb rhythm section. “Close to musical perfection” Jazzwise , “World-class” John Fordham - The Guardian
