I’m in a Holly Cole mood today. If you know anything about Holly Cole, you know about that of which I speak! It’s the kind of mood that make me talk like that! Holly Cole hit the Canadian Jazz scene in 1986 with her trio featuring bassist David Piltch and pianist Aaron Davis and she has covered anybody and everybody all over the map in her own really strange style. She IS from Nova Scotia, after all! (That’s the Canadian East Coast parallel to Portland, OR, I understand.) Anyway, you like Holly Cole or you don’t…and with Holly, it depends largely on the song she’s offering at the time. One thing you can count on, though; the bass is not relegated to the background (That’ll make Jay Goetting happy!) and the arrangements are top-notch, simple and powerful! So, here’s a Holly Cole mix for your Saturday afternoon! https://youtube/watch?v=CYZDBy2PB3Y&list=RDCYZDBy2PB3Y#t=129
