"Carol is a consummate artist, a great jazz singer who sings every song from the depths," says
Roger C. Davidson, founder of Soundbrush Records. "She doesn't just deliver the notes, she delivers the whole song."
Growing up in the Bronx, Carol Fredette was greatly inspired by the music of Chet Baker,
Stan Kenton and Frank Sinatra. She hit the New York jazz scene at the age of 18 after landing her first gig at Greenwich Village's infamous Page Three. Carol has since headlined every major jazz club in the city in addition to performing at prestigious venues around the country and internationally. Her music never fails to draw in her listeners. For Carol Fredette, "…singing this music is ultimately about swinging - and bringing the words of a song to life from one's own experience, so that the words written by someone else become your words, your story…and ultimately the story of your audience."
