Have You Met Miss Carroll?

 

Get Happy

Have You Met Miss Carroll?
Barbara Carroll Trio
Joe Shulman - Bass & Ralph Pollack - Drums
RCA Victor LPM-1137
1956

From the back cover: A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Barbara has come a long way from the childhood days when, to make youthful ends meet, she gave piano lessons to her playmate for a flat rate of twenty-five cents. She worked her way through the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and, soon after, began to make fairly regular appearances in night spots both in Bean City and New York. It was in the latter metropolis that fortune finally smiled upon her, for while playing at a Manhattan establishment called The Embers, she was simultaneously discovered by the critics and public alike. Since that date, only a few years ago, she has not only returned countless times to the scene of her first triumph, but has also spread her particularly happy brand of piano magic in most of the other major cities of the country.

From Billboard - January 28, 1956: Miss Carroll, as easy-to-take jazz pianist, swings with the best of 'em. Both jazz and plain buyers can be sold this happy collection of tunes, including such as "It's All Right With Me," "Love Is A Single Thing," "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe" and her theme, "Barbara's Carol." Ralph Pollack on drums and hubby Joe Shulman on bass help out.

Everything I've Got Belongs To You
It's All Right With Me
Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Almost Like Being In Love
Love Is A Simple Thing
Get Happy
Two Ladies In De Shade Of De Banana Tree
My Heart Belongs To Daddy
You're Mine You
Have You Met Miss Jones
I'm Glad There Is You
Barbara's Carol
