Live at Birdland

"Was there ever a more storied exponent of the Great American Songbook than Carol Sloane? ... Sloane has spent almost her entire lifetime in the music business, and Live at Birdland is a fitting monument to a remarkable career ... Youth may be served but, sometimes, one may prefer to hear the voice of experience. It counts for something, does it not, even in a business which worships youth, novelty, and a fresh face?".

"Live At Birdland blends upscale jazz-club intimacy with a mix of American songbook standards and distinctly neglected non-standards that have been Carol Sloan's cup of tea since the start ... Accordingly, her classicism is not for everybody. Sloan missed her chosen golden age by a generation. She's become a student of a period that began in her childhood and moved backwards. She rooted herself in basics, avoiding retro caricature".
