CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: BARBARA CARROLL AT BIRDLAND IN SEPTEMBER
NYC Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs on Saturdays, September 7th and 21st at 6:00 pm at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080). Barbara Carroll's inventive piano playing and unique vocal sound transforms any composition into something hip and urbane. In a sixty-year career she has gone from being dubbed "the first girl ever to play bebop piano" by Leonard Feather in 1947, to today being dubbed a "singer who turns song lyrics into personal dramatic monologues." Carroll broke into jazz in the late 1940s, a time when women had a hard time gaining acceptance in that world. Still, she secured a gig at the Downbeat Club, opposite Dizzy Gillespie's big band, which launched her career. Save for a decade off to raise her daughter, Carroll has been a regular on the New York jazz scene ever since. There is a $35 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
