Carol Welsman
 Carol Welsman is
an internationally acclaimed singer and
pianist whose expressive vocal styling and
dynamic stage presence have captivated
audiences around the world. She has sold
over 60,000 CDs in Canada alone, something
few jazz artists in Canada have experienced.
See Carol in action once and you'll never
forget her. Tall and blonde, she sits
poised at the piano, head back, fingers
stretched over the keys, her slender body
arched in a seductive curve. Then the
music flows, a combination of voice and
piano that seems symbiotically linked.
Like bossa nova icon Joao Gilberto and his
guitar, Carol's honey and whiskey sound and
her crisp, rhythmically articulate piano
lines seem an integral part of each
other. At a time when female jazz
singers have been arriving in waves, she is
that rarity -- an authentic
vocal/instrumental artist who brings an
irresistible blend of musicality and lyrical
insight to everything she touches.
Carol's focus upon the essential elements of
her art is not surprising. Coming from
a musical family (her grandfather was the
founder and first conductor of the Toronto
Symphony), she has studied in the U.S. (at
Berklee College of Music) and Europe, and
released eight albums since her first CD,
"Lucky To Be Me," in 1995. Her
numerous achievements include the receipt of
six Juno (Canadian Grammy) Award nominations
including the just announced “Jazz Album of
the Year” for "Journey, and several
CDN Smooth Jazz Awards. She has become
well-established as an international artist,
touring the world, and performing in
Italian, French, Portuguese and English.
Carol is an extraordinarily talented
musician and one of Canada's finest
vocalists and pianists.
