The Pace Report: "The Art and Soul of Miss. Polly Gibbons" The Polly Gibbons Interview
Welcome to another edition of The Pace Report featuring UK Jazz and Soul vocalist Polly Gibbons performing new music from her Resonance Records release "Is It Me?" at the Iridium in New York City. "Is It Me?" is Polly's third release and features songs she's written as well as covers like Thomas Dolby's "Ability to Swing," Grady Tate's "Sack Full Of Dreams," and Frank Sinatra's "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams."
Polly's music directors for her latest CD are pianist and accompanist Tamir Hendelman and James Pearson.
During Polly's performance in New York she was backed by Shedrick Mitchell on organ and keys, Paul Bollenback on guitar, Richie Goods on bass, and Mark McLean on drums.
I had a chance to sit down with Polly to talk about her new record, her musical influences, and how jazz vocalist Ian Shaw played an important role in starting her career.
