Liane Carroll's brilliant "Up and Down" finally presents her spectacular voice in the truly world-class setting that it so surely deserves, "Up and Down" is in many ways Carroll's first true 'studio' album, featuring a wide range settings for her spectacular voice from the stripped back intimacy of piano and vocals to the rich warmth of strings and orchestral brass.

Recorded over the course of nine months in London, Hastings, Brighton, Prague and Memphis, Tennessee it features the cream of US and UK jazz soloists, with Kenny Wheeler, Kirk Whalum and Julian Siegel to name but a few. The result is a rich record capturing the essence of Carroll's brilliance and made possible by the generosity of wonderful musicians and arrangers who have literally given their music and love to the project.
