No less an icon than <strong>Van Morrison<\/strong> declared, \u201cShe\u2019s got a great voice!\u201d and <strong>Joss Stone<\/strong> said, \u201cI love her voice, it\u2019s really soulful. I can\u2019t wait to hear more of Polly\u2026\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Now, the wait is over! On Feb. 3, 2015, we can all hear Polly Gibbons when this supremely talented artist\u2014nominated for a <strong>BBC Jazz Award<\/strong> in 2006, releases <em>Many Faces of Love<\/em>, her debut album and DVD release for the U.S. market.<\/p>\r\n<p>Polly Gibbons descends from a grand tradition of jazz and blues women whose singing exudes strength, defiance and sassy wit. There are many pretenders to that throne, but Gibbons\u2019 artistry demands attention. British-born and just 30 when she made this album, Gibbons possesses a raspy, lived-in tone, a walloping sense of swing and a dramatic flair that grabs the heart. Emotionally, her singing ranges from a slow burn to a bonfire; interpretively, she always rings true. In London jazz circles, Gibbons has been acquiring a growing chorus of champions since her emergence a decade ago.<\/p>\r\n<p>For <em>Many Faces of Love<\/em>, 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 <strong>Tamir Hendelman<\/strong>, who conjures up the slamming grooves, the feistiness and the jubilation that mark Gibbons\u2019 singing. Also accompanying Polly on the new release are violinist <strong>Christian Howes<\/strong>, guitarist <strong>Anthony Wilson<\/strong>, bassist <strong>Kevin Axt<\/strong> and drummer <strong>Ray Brinker<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Gibbons, who names artists as diverse as <strong>Mahalia Jackson<\/strong>, <strong>Joni Mitchell<\/strong>, <strong>Charlie Parker<\/strong>, <strong>Leonard Cohen<\/strong>, <strong>Donny Hathaway<\/strong>, <strong>Nina Simone<\/strong>, <strong>Marvin Gaye<\/strong>, <strong>Prince<\/strong> and <strong>D\u2019Angelo<\/strong> as key influences \u2014 is also a songwriter whose original composition \u201cMidnight Prayer\u201d won <br \/>first place in the Indie International Songwriting Competition. For <em>Many Faces of Love\u00a0<\/em>the singer has chosen to emphasize her interpretive skills.
