Barbara Carroll Trio - I Wished On The Moon (180g Double Vinyl LP)

Widely recognized as the first female pianist to venture into progressive bebop, Barbara Carroll was a trailblazer of modern jazz. Trained at the New England Conservatory before making her mark in 1940s New York, Carroll earned acclaim for her Bud Powell-inspired swing, impeccable technique, and encyclopedic command of the Great American Songbook. Recorded for prestigious labels like Verve and Atlantic throughout her storied career, Carroll remained an active force into her nineties, blending her delicate piano harmonies with a witty, literate, and discreetly seductive vocal style.

Recorded on March 29 and 30, 2006, at "The Studio" in New York, I Wished On The Moon captures Carroll alongside her trio delivering elegant, deeply swinging interpretations of classic standards. Her touch is both sophisticated and effortless, allowing harmonies to bloom while maintaining the rich, authentic jazz character that defined her multi-decade career.

Releasing in 2026 as part of the prestigious VENUS MASTERPIECE LP COLLECTION, this premium limited edition 180g Double Vinyl LP set brings these historic sessions to a deluxe physical format.
