‘Sloane: A Jazz Singer’, Screening At Cannes Market, Elevates Brilliant Vocalist To Rightful Place In Music History
'Sloane: A Jazz Singer,' a documentary about vocalist Carol Sloane, will screen at the Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival.
The documentary directed by Michael Lippert explores the vocal artistry of Carol Sloane, who recorded more than two dozen albums in a career that began in the early 1960s. The synopsis continues, “But with the onset of the British Invasion of the ’60s, her star began to dim as quickly as it had burst upon the scene, resulting in personal, emotional and financial struggles that kept her on the edge of insolvency for most of her life. The New York Times, reflecting on the arc of Sloane’s life and career in an obituary published February 3, 2023, described her as “the honey-voiced jazz singer who was once considered an heir to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae but who struggled for decades, battered by changing tastes and sheer bad luck, before enjoying a midlife comeback.”
