As announced by Director Michael Lippert, Executive Producers Stephen Barefoot and L. Taylor Arnold, and Producers Donna Campbell and Georgann Eubanks, “Sloane: A Jazz Singer” will debut on https://kinema.com on October 1st, where it will be available worldwide for video-on-demand, live, and virtual screenings. The film is also available for independent bookings.
In the words of American singer, pianist and music revivalist Michael Feinstein, who is renowned as the Ambassador of the Great American Songbook, “SLOANE is 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.”
In this important, beautifully documented feature film from goingbarefoot, late jazz legend Carol Sloane finally gets her due. Sixty years ago, Carol Sloane was a highly acclaimed jazz singer who was regularly invited to appear, alongside pop-culture’s Who’s Who, on Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show. A top-tier Columbia records talent with dozens of records to her name, her extensive achievements include opening for Oscar Peterson at The Village Vanguard, and being named to the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame in 2016. Often compared to Ella Fitzgerald in her heyday, in truth, Sloane spent most of her life struggling to pay her rent. See – and hear – her unforgettable story now.
