about

For Many Faces of Love, Gibbons has assembled a crew of some of the most skilled musicians in contemporary jazz. Her band is led by L.A.-based pianist and arranger Tamir Hendelman, who conjures up the slamming grooves, the feistiness and the jubilation that mark Gibbons’ singing. Also accompanying Polly on the new release are violinist Christian Howes, guitarist Anthony Wilson, bassist Kevin Axt and drummer Ray Brinker.

Gibbons, who names artists as diverse as Mahalia Jackson, Joni Mitchell, Charlie Parker, Leonard Cohen, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Prince and D’Angelo as key influences—is also a songwriter whose original composition “Midnight Prayer” won first place in the Indie International Songwriting Competition. For Many Faces of Love the singer has chosen to emphasize her interpretive skills. Whether on the R&B nugget “Please Send Me Someone to Love,” Bob Haymes’ “Make It Last”(from a 1958 Betty Carter recording), Dr. John’s “City Lights,” Al Jarreau’s “Not Like This,” Rickie Lee Jones’ “Company” or Patti Austin’s “That’s Enough for Me,” Gibbons drills to the core of the lyric and melody, making each song her own. Gibbons’ magnificent command of a jazz ballad is exemplified by her steamy take on “After Hours,” an early Sarah Vaughan trademark, and she does wonders with “I Have the Feeling I’ve Been Here Before,” written by pianist Roger Kellaway with Alan and Marilyn Bergman for Carmen McRae. “Love Comes and Goes,” meanwhile, is a gem from veteran British songwriter Carroll Coates.

Polly Gibbons’ Many Faces of Love reveals a young woman who, musically and emotionally, is wise beyond her years.
