Product Description
Album Description
An intense black & white retro artwork and another deeply exciting collection of songs from Holly Cole. Performed with a large ensemble of top-notch jazz players from New York, directed by Greg Cohen with arrangements by Gil Goldstein and recorded live in the studio. A superlative singer on top of her game, coming up with fascinating interpretations of hand-picked song classics – from Irving Berlin to A.C. Jobim. Final proof that this voice belongs with the very best: intense and thrilling, sensual and sensitive. Jazz noir à la Cole.

Holly Cole in her 9th Studio album, this self titled CD Holly Cole is absolutely stunning.
This is her first studio recording since 2004 and it is more than worth the wait. The album on first listen is both haunting and familiar. Cole has tapped the best sounds of her previous, she parades us through the ranges of her voice and style, she draws us in and tosses us out.
This album classified as Jazz is a mix of all that is good in vocal jazz; rowdy honky-tonk, to smoky smoldering songs that burn your heart.
One of the most stunning tracks is Cole's own 'Larger Than Life' a song that reveals that Cole is not only a student of the Jazz Masters but destined to become one herself.
'The House is Haunted by the Echo' is deep, dark and melodious reminiscent of her version of 'Trust in Me' from earlier albums. Cole's greatest power is that she is a story teller, and with her voice, she makes the jazz classics or standby's her own.
Cole is amazing on this album, and if you ever get the chance to see her life do not pass it up. My only regret about this album is that there is no scat, however with that said there is not one of the 11 tracks I would want to drop from the album to hear some of Cole's scat!

Anyone a little older may remember Eartha Kitt from her occasional appearances on TV. An Americsn singer noted for two things; her tendency to suggest sexuality in her performances and for her very earthy voice. There are clearly similar hints in Cole's voice.
A little older, her voice has mellowed and is especially well-suited to the styles she employs here. Not completely jazzy, not pop and certainly not traditional but an altogether interesting mix.
In the track 'Charade', which many will recognise, she is able to show her vocal skills and abilities by holding the final note for what seems a very long time.
The album is an interesting mix of familiar and not so familiar all sung in a unique style with variations amongst the tracks. There is no sameness here. The 'Waters of March' track is a song I know well and Cole's performance is very different from any other I have heard. Although it seems a very simple song, I am told that it is very demanding on the singer but Cole pulls it off very well. A brilliant job with no especially weak tracks well performed by Cole who is backed by some very capable musicians. A very good candidate for a collection for the more discerning listener who is able to recognise real ability when it is offered.
The album is now 4 or 5 years old but I believe that it is still available.
