Life and work
Carol Sloane began her career at age fourteen, when she performed with the band of Ed Drew in her hometown. In 1958 she sang in Larry Elgarts Orchestra, who advised her then, switch to its name to " Sloane ". She jumped in 1961 for Annie Ross in the lineup Lambert, Hendricks and Ross at their concerts at New York's Village Vanguard one. In the same year she performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, which led to a recording contract with Columbia Records. However, the major record label they marketed as a kind of second Barbra Streisand, which in no way wanted to go with her warm, quiet jazz phrasing. In the early 1960s, a series of albums that are out of print today was born.
Up to the 1980s, Carol Sloane had developed into a mature jazz singer; they recorded a number of albums for minor record label as Contemporary Records, Concord or high note and was accompanied by jazz musicians such as, inter alia, Art Farmer, Rufus Reid, Kenny Barron, Phil Woods, Steve Turre and Frank Wess. She joined in recent years mainly on in Japan, where she has a solid fan base, and on the northeast coast of the United States and in New York.
