about

With soulful vocals and an innate blues sensibility, Polly Gibbons has been likened to many jazz and soul greats, but with her own unique style. Playing with her versatility as a performer is what her new album is all about.

Polly, who recently was nominated Vocalist of the Year by Jazz FM, has been a staple of the UK Jazz Scene since the mid-2000s. In commenting on her new album, she states: “It’s a massive melting pot, varied but beautifully linked because I love every style I’m singing. Jazz would never have happened without the blues, which came out of the gospel tradition – and blues is the foundation of contemporary Western culture and pop/soul music, and so on.”

The album’s set list mines many unusual and unexpected, but supremely cool sources, including three originals she penned with Pearson; “Midnight Prayer” (which earned first place in the singer-songwriter category of the 2014 Indie International Songwriting Contest), “You Can’t Just,” and “Is It Me…?” She opens the album with a vibrant, jazzy twist on “The Ability To Swing,” and brings a bluesy elegance to the hopeful theme of “Sack Full of Dreams.” She taps into the Great American Songbook with “Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams” and Duke Ellington’s “I Let A Song Go Out of My Heart,” a track on which Polly and L.A. studio trumpeter Willie Murillo are showcased.
