Liane Carroll
and Joel Rocca

At PizzaExpress Jazz Club, Dean Street, Soho, London

We are delighted to present the wonderful jazz singer- pianist, Liane Carroll, with her guest, the exciting London based jazz saxophone star Joel Rocca, in Lianes’s second JBGB Events Christmas Lunchtime party 2025 concert.

Liane’s Star Shines over Soho

Following her success in 2024, followed by two double header Spring and Autumn 2025 concerts at Dean Street, to sold out enthusiastic audiences, here is the climax to her triumphant year at Dean Street. This is a chance to be embraced, not only by Liane Carroll’s evocative and compelling singing style and striking accompanying piano playing, but also by her Christmas inspired joyous, upfront, and up-tempo personality.

With her sprinkling of Christmas cheer, with well known songs and some inspiring but lesser-known melodies, Liane’s  Christmas Party Lunchtime concert is guaranteed to put a spring in your step with her best wishes for a very Happy Christmas.

Music commentators are unanimous in their praise.

“One of the most stylistically flexible pianists around, with a marvellous,

slightly husky singing voice" (The Observer).

"A powerful, soul-inflected performer with an Ella Fitzgerald-like improv athleticism and an emotional frankness on ballads" (The Guardian)

Liane’s first four albums all enjoyed four-starred reviews, and, “Ballads” received ***** from Jazz Journal. "Seaside", won CD of the year at the 2015 British Jazz awards.

A winner of the British Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards she received the 2016 Gold award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

And to give you a big flavour of what’s in store, here is Liane in a fabulous, streamed concert in trio format, from Ronnie Scott’s in 2021.

Joel Rocca, a graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire, has already played jazz saxophone at many U.K. top venues, including Ronnie Scott’s, performing with Liane many times.

Blending his distinctive saxophone sound with a forward-thinking approach, Joel’ s playing combines the spirit of jazz traditions with a contemporary edge.

His debut album “The Sound Of The Suite”, with his band “The Sound Of Movement” launched this autumn, featuring several of Joel’s new compositions,
