Barbara Carroll,
who began playing piano at five, attended the New England Conservatory
of Music in Boston, but her nighttime gigs at local jazz clubs ran
so late that she left school for the life of a jazz musician. In New
York, she played opposite Dizzy Gillespie's big band at the Downbeat
Club on famed 52nd Street. Another memorable engagement was opposite
Teddy Wilson, whom she'd written to as a young girl in the hope he'd
become her teacher, a letter he claimed he never received. Her influences
also included Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk
and Bill Evans, a group of keyboard stars to which her name would
be a welcome addition. If you want great melodies as well as great
musicianship, Ms. Carroll's Oak Room appearances will offer evidence
that you can have it all.
She has recorded
for RCA, Verve and Atlantic, and her extensive discography includes
such gems as Everything I Love, This Heart of Mine, Lullabies in Rhythm
2002s One Morning in May.
