    • Synopsis
    • In the 1960s, jazz singer Carol Sloane became an overnight sensation. A natural interpreter of the Great American Songbook, she was hailed by Johnny Carson and later the Washington Post as “the greatest living jazz singer.” She performed and toured with some of the biggest names, like Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald. She even befriended The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. But today, most people have never heard of Carol Sloane. Unfortunately, when the British Invasion of rock swept the country, her rising star faded as quickly as it rose, paving the way for devastating financial and emotional setbacks that would follow her the rest of her professional life. Now at 82, she is preparing for one final live recording at New York's famed Birdland Jazz Club, while looking back on a remarkable six-decade career. Through rare archival footage, intimate moments with Sloane, and enlightening commentary from industry leaders, this multi-award-winning documentary reveals a singular artist’s devotion to her passion against great odds, and invites us to examine the meaning of success in a world where, as Carol puts it, "Art don't pay." Michael Feinstein recently called the film "a superior musical tour de force and virtual shot in the arm, documenting not only Carol’s career through her emotional story, but also brilliantly encapsulating a history of popular music through changing times and passing fancies. Blessedly, thanks to this important film, Carol Sloane is here to stay."
