TINA CARR Presents: MOON OVER MILDMAY Released: 6th March 2026

Moon Over Mildmay is the enchanting new album by British jazz singer Tina Carr. Though still a relative newcomer to the international scene, Tina Carr has been swiftly building a reputation as a vibrant and charismatic vocalist. Her 2023 debut album ‘Songs For Curly’ received universal praise, culminating in a sell-out headline show at London’s Hoxton Hall as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. Having honed her craft on the live circuit, collaborating with many notable musicians, Tina now presents her best and most personal work to date.

Tina Carr is holding the torch for the great jazz vocal tradition, but also casts a unique take on proceedings with her distinctive and instantly recognisable voice. Moon Over Mildmay has everything that fans of classic jazz singers could wish for, but Tina also provides a distinctive edge, by carefully curating the material so as to perfectly suit her voice, while interpreting the repertoire in her own inimitable way.

Commenting on the album, Tina says: "I didn’t realise this when I was making the album ‘Moon Over Mildmay’, but somehow it has turned out to be a very personal piece of work. There's love, of course. But it’s also about otherness, where I am, who I’ve been - and about life still being an utter puzzle, and trying to find meaning and beauty in it all. Most of all, it’s about re-discovering my love of music, and what it means to me. After many years doing different things and being different people – and being different things to different people, I am, finally, being true to me.

The title track has Tina’s lyrics, and is based on the instrumental theme tune ‘Love Song from Apache’. ‘The Crazy Woman’ is Tina’s musical treatment of a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks, the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, while ‘Ouve o Silencio’ is a beautiful classical piano piece by the renowned Brazilian composer , conductor Claudio Santoro. It’s a short piece, part of a group of compositions “12 Preludes” that was turned into a lyrical song. But as Tina listened, she heard her own words. A plethora of magical songs continue as the album unfolds.

Joining Tina Carr on Moon Over Mildmay are Miguel Gorodi (trumpet) Oli Hayhurst (Bass) Kieran McLeod (trombone) Sam Newbould (alto-sax) Tom Ollendorf (guitar) Rod Oughton (drums) Àánú Sodipe (violin) and Matt Robinson (piano) – all respected musicians in their own right, who gel seamlessly as a unit, but also all provide their own spectacular contributions to the recording. Moon Over Mildmay is a delightful listen and an early contender for vocal jazz album of the year. For a live experience, don’t miss Tina’s album launch at The Mildmay Club on 18th February 2026.
