Barbara Carroll: Something To Live For

 Here is the elegant companion piece to How Long Has This Been Going On?, with the Harbinger label chosen by the pianist, then 88, and her producer, Todd Barkan. It’s more late Carroll from 2010, by which time the adjective legendary is the only one that will do, and the standards she explores include “Lonely Town,” “How About You?” and “All I Need Is the Girl,” plus a generous helping of Ellington.

Musical theater fans should be reminded that in 1953, early in her career, Rodgers & Hammerstein spotted her trio and put them onstage in their new musical, Me and Juliet. They placed her early in the show, however, so she could dash to her regular jazz gig!
